| VERDICT // WHO THIS FRAME SUITS
Advanced strikers seeking Pure Drive power in a precision-focused, tighter pattern
Best for advanced players who want Pure Drive pace without the launch angle. Tennisnerd found the added control “evident straight away” compared with the 100, alongside a caveat worth taking seriously: you are also “punished straight away for sloppy footwork”. The 16x20 pattern and 98-inch head reward heavy ball strikers who arrive on time and swing fully. If your footwork is still developing, or you want a forgiving sweet spot, the 100 is the friendlier frame.
| PLAYER FEEDBACK // EXCERPTED REVIEWS
Review excerpts are quoted in their original language.
“The controlled aspect of this racquet over the 100 is evident straight away. You get a lot more precision, but also you are punished straight away for sloppy footwork.”
“This edition of the Pure Drive 98 feels softer on impact than the predecessor. Heavy ball strikers will probably love the extra control from the 16x20 pattern.”
