Babolat Pure Aero 98 (2026)
Intermediate to advanced
The Babolat Pure Aero 98 (2026) is a 98 in² tennis racket weighing 305 g (10.8 oz) unstrung, with a 16x20 string pattern. It is built for topspin: the frame helps you brush up the ball, which drops earlier in the court. That dense pattern gives a steadier feel and a lower ball flight.
It is aimed at intermediate to advanced players (roughly UTR 6–8).
