Which racquet is in between a Pure Drive and a Pure Strike?

[zill]

As in the pure strike (18 by 20) and normal/standard Pure Drive. They are very different racquets but want to know what fits in between the two.

In terms of overall play ability including power, control, stability, spin, feel etc.

Doesn't have to be a Babolat.

 

[mrtrinh]

pure strike 16x19.

 

[Backhanded Compliment]

Head Speed series?

 

[phanker]

Head Speed Pro 360. In between terms of power, and string pattern density. Stiffness is closer to the PD.

 

[Phantasm]

the Aero?

 

[Clara]

the Aero?

I think areo is very similar to pure drive

I would say pure strike 100.

[loosegroove]

pure strike 16x19.

This would be my vote.

 

[McLovin]

Yonex DR98 would be my vote.

 

[styksnstryngs]

Yonex DR98 would be my vote.

That's not really in between the two, it's softer than both, more headlight than both, and heavier than both.

 

[zill]

How about the Volkl VSense tour 10?

 

[mhkeuns]

Blade 98, Speed Pro, Yonex Vcore Duel G 100 and if you want a bit softer feeling, maybe the Textreme Tour 100P.

 

[A_Instead]

Simple... Textreme Tour 100P...
has big power from swings
has control
etc..
one of the GOAT.. that really no one knows.. but those who do know.. know it..

 

[remy0667]

Pro Kennex Q+5 290gr . Or 310gr if the mass is no a problem .

 

[n8dawg6]

the babolat strike drive is what you seek

 

[n8dawg6]

*aero strike drive

My classification Power to Control

[rvernsey]

Babolat Pure Aero
Yonex EZone 100
Head Radical MP
Head Instinct MP
Yonex VCore SV 98
Tecnifibre TFight 315

Most of the responses here are on the other side of the Pure Strike in terms of power level and control.

I'd throw in the pure aero vs in there too, maybe.

 

[elitekuo]

Dunlop Srixon Revo CV 3.0.

 

[zill]

Where would the volkl vsense 10 tour fit in?

 

[Pctopcool]

Pure Strive maybe.

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

Pure S**t.

I’ve demoed a lot of racquets and the 100p is my favorite.

 

[SavvyStringer]

pure Aero VS

[ewiewp]

Head Speed Pro 360. In between terms of power, and string pattern density. Stiffness is closer to the PD.

given spec is closer to PS (or lower) for stiffness.

 

[phanker]

In real world, I find the PS has some flex to it compared to PD and 360.

[ewiewp]

i'm surprised to hear it almost as stiff as PD (although people are reporting it feels stiff than what the spec would suggest...)

That’s because if it doesn’t have th big W or the double stripe no one knows about it now.

 

[WestboroChe]

Pure Drike

You beat me to it!

 

[Purplemonster]

You beat me to it!

Someone was always going to come up with that. Crying out for it.

 

[TomTennis495]

Agree with the pure strike 16X19 comments. It really does fall between. All the others mentioned have a very different feel ,etc... the TW DEMO program is your friend.

 

[phanker]

PS is a thin beam so it'll feel stiff off center more than the PD or 360. I string my PS with a soft poly of Head Hawk Touch 17 and it's so comfy I find, a rarity with poly strings.

i'm surprised to hear it almost as stiff as PD (although people are reporting it feels stiff than what the spec would suggest...)

 

[Bartelby]

Pure (Arm) Stuffed? ... If you believe the stories.

 

[mad dog1]

Pure Drike

Pure Strive sounds better.

 

[James1983]

I was looking for the same type of racket and settled on the head speed pro 360.
Not everyone will agree I’m sure as everyone’s game/technique is different, but it’s definitely it’s worth a demo
