The Pure Strike VS returns for 2022! Babolat designed the Pure Strike VS towards the player that likes to play with control and feel in mind. Babolat updated the graphics of the Pure Strike with a sleek cosmetic look. Babolat made some cool new updates to the frame including widening the beam at both the 3 & 9 o'clock positions giving the frame slightly more stability. Babolat includes their "CFT" Control Frame technology which helps add additional flexibility to the shaft, allowing for both more stability and better control
