| VERDICT // WHO THIS FRAME SUITS

BEST FOR

Spin-seeking players who want Pure Aero's kick with a tighter, more controlled pattern

Best for spin players who kept wishing the Pure Aero would stop launching. This is the frame Tennis Warehouse testers reached for when they wanted the family's spin with a lid on it — “many of the aspects of a Pure Aero, like great access to spin and good power, but also more control” — and the reaction was consistent enough across the panel to read as the model's actual purpose. The 16x20 pattern and 98-inch head cost you some free depth. Take it if you have the swing speed to supply that yourself.

I love the Pure Aero family of racquets because they help me produce the most power and spin, but I think I need more control in my game.

I loved that this racquet offered me many of the aspects of a Pure Aero, like great access to spin and good power, but also more control.

I really enjoyed the added control compared to the Pure Aero. It was a pleasure to be in command during rallies.

The Pure Aero 98 offered me what I didn't get from the others — control!
