Anyone who has hit with it how was the comfort level? Original one of the best control sticks with decent enough power I have ever hit with but was an absolute arm killer!

You should try the 1st Gen if you can get your hands on one. Comfort level is better than the 2nd Gen imo. It also depends on the string you use and tension.sorry I was talking about the project one zero being uncomfortable apologies if unclear, as this thread is talking about 2.0. not played with the models before that

Depends on which one. I have the Tour version which only came out for the Gen 1. I love the plow through it gives (even though I added some lead at 12 and 3&9) and the spin. Imo it suits people who have long strokes, and the comfort level is nice, even at 65RA. Comparing it to Gen 2, that one is stiff even though it’s only 2 points higher than Gen 1. Spin level is nice but slightly hard to control. (Depends on your strokes)yes have thought about that, is the playability as good?
There are charts comparing the two Gens on Google. I’ll save you some time. The Gen1 has 21/23/21 beam thickness compare to Gen2 where it’s 21.3/23.3/21.3 which isn’t much. The Gen1 is more flexible in the throat area, as well as in the top. Comparing to Gen2, the flex is much more even tapered through out. Gen1 has a dense string spacing compared to Gen2 which has the FSI Tech to it.did they change much between gens? i notice Thiem still plays with original

This fallIt’s either this late Fall or next near. Every Babolat have a 3 year cycle before a new update.
I don't get whats up with that center line running through the frame. I'm sure this is not a final cosmetic though.
That’s great.oh my
just bought a PS17 today...
I disagree out the empty feeling. I feel that it’s way more solid than any of the other sticks like the pure drive and aero.The Strikes aren’t bad (a little empty feeling), but it’s just a whole lotta white.
So I have re-strong my pure strike And re-gripped it with a leather grip and I will put it through the paces and try to morph into it as my main stick w and re-gripped it with a leather grip and I will put it through the paces and try to morph into it as my main stick
Definitey agree on the string spacingI disagree out the empty feeling. I feel that it’s way more solid than any of the other sticks like the pure drive and aero.
It’s the perfect compromise between a player stick and a tween her and the string spacing is perfect not to open like the pure drive
I do string only personally though. I do find the Center dots/markings at the top of the head very convenient and nice to have. I just don't see the use of a full line through the whole frame like at the bottom of the head and the throat just for stringing purposes though...If you strung you’d know.
its hot. . just black grommets would be better .. but pj is hotThe new PS is sweet looking. Still has a lotta white.
X2 on that@Russell Jiang
Do you have any more pictures of upcoming racquets from Head, Tecnifibre or Wilson? (Radical, New T flash series or a new Wilson Blade) Thanks for your contribution to the threads

Yeah. Same specs. Diff paint job. Fall release September ishDoes anyone have a sense of specs or release date? Similar to the current iteration of rackets/ fall 2019?
Yes. I love trying out whatever I feel will fill a void in my game. And it’s fun. New toys for big boys.Seems like you switch as much as I do @danbrenner. I went from the Liquidmetal Instinct Tour XL -> Pure Drive -> VCORE 95. I love the 95, so I might stay with it, but I just sold some old rackets and bought a Blade 98 CV (18x20). What is your current ranking of best frames you've played with?
How did he find the comfort level?My son playtested the new pure strike line in september last year.
He told me that they had two or three different paintjobs that the playtesters had to comment on.
One of them was the colourway shown above.
One of them looked almost the same except it had a zebra-like colourway on one side of the head.
He said they swung and felt pretty much the same except that the new one felt a tad more stable.How did he find the comfort level?
So, he endorses the P17 and had not played with it at all? He went from the original Pure Strike under a P17 pj to a new unreleased PS under the same pj but in between he never actually used the P17?I don’t know if I’m the first one notice that Thiem is actually playing with the upcoming new pure strike right now. I just noticed from a picture today, and I go back to Australia open’s images and noticed he started testing new strike since then. The key part is the end of the bumper guard. The new strike has a unique shape at the end of it.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, lol. Btw, technically he endorses the 2016 Pure Strike 98 18x20. The P17 is 16x19. But I know you meant the second gen Pure Strike PJ.So, he endorses the P17 and had not played with it at all? He went from the original Pure Strike under a P17 pj to a new unreleased PS under the same pj but in between he never actually used the P17?

TO be fair they did this with pure aero last year, easy money for a racket that will be half it’s price in a couple of months.Babolat rep just said they are releasing a Wimbledon Pure Strike this year - so it doesn’t make sense that the new PS will be released after that. My friend said he saw the Wimbledon version - I didn’t see it.
I think you are absolutely right, in a tennis shop around my home there's a Wimby PS17 and the owner is selling it for 150, I think they are getting the most of a frame that has it's hours counted.TO be fair they did this with pure aero last year, easy money for a racket that will be half it’s price in a couple of months.
What’s everyone’s RA predictions for the new model? If they can get it within a point of DR98 I would have a hard time not picking it up!
