Pure Strike 16x19 2016 vs older model; how to differentiate

[ckhirnigs113]

I am stringing a Pure Strike 16x19 for friend of mine. I want to order a set of grommets for his racquet for the next time I string it. TW says there are different grommets depending on whether he has a 2016 Pure Strike 16x19 or an older version. Is there a quick way to find out which Pure Strike he has? I have the racquet on hand, so I just need to know what I'm looking for.
Thanks, CK

Looks like TW list these two grommet options:
1) Pure Strike 16x19 2016
2) Pure Strike 16x19
Now I'm not sure if the 2016 is the older model. I know I have the black and red version not the newer white. Should I order grommets for the 2016 model?

Thanks, I definitely have the older black and red model. I'll order grommets for the Pure Strike 16x19, not the 2016.

Looks like 2016 onward are the white racquets. Pure Strikes prior to 2016 were black/red.

yeah 2016 is the newer model. Order the old one.

I played old Pure Strike first year in two years in college. In my opinion the original Pure Strike is better than PO7. Maybe cuz I used to play head for years and PS is like head but PO7 plays like traditional Babolat racket like pure drive

Any one know if grommets are still available the 2016 Pure Strike. Specifically, I'm looking for ones for the green Wimby version. I ordered a set from TW, but got the ones for the orange and black model. I'm wondering if they will even fit the green model. Thanks in advance for any info/advice.

I would try e b a y. TW wouldn't sell as a very limited edition racquet, also quite old (in the racquet game)
