Used, but only on clay and in excellent condition; only a few minor scuffs on the head guard. Moderate life on strings, always used with a Wilson overgrip.With this update to the Pure Strike 18x20, Babolat adds a little more power, spin and stability to one of their great control racquets. Boasting a dense 18x20 string pattern, this racquet not only has amazing feel, but it will provide you with phenomenal command over the ball’s depth and trajectory. Weighing only 11.4 ounces, the Pure Strike 18x20 is not only suitable to intermediates, but it should also work well for advanced level players who want a maneuverable player’s racquet. In addition to its square & elliptical Hybrid Frame Construction, the Pure Strike 18x20 gets updated with Babolat’s new FSI Power Technology, which widens the spacing between the upper crosses for a livelier, more spin-friendly response. In contrast to the 2014 version, Babolat has thickened the beam in parts of the shaft and head to enhance power and stability. From the baseline the Pure Strike 18x20 feels fast and solid. It rewards full swings with great control - a fact that should encourage some very aggressive targeting. You'll also discover just enough mass to drive the ball powerfully through the court. At net this stick feels solid against pace, but it also comes around fast when the pressure is on. Aggressive servers who like hitting flat missiles will be able to do some damage with this one. All in all Babolat has produced a fine update to the Pure Strike 18x20. This is a must hit for intermediate and advanced players looking for a great feeling player's racquet with excellent control.
