Babolat Pure Aero 98 – Gen 9 - Speed. Spin. Accuracy. Uncompromised Control.
Designed for players who demand total command over every ball, the Pure Aero 98 Gen 9 stands as the most precise and surgical frame in the Aero lineup. Its compact head size, ultra‑tight string spacing, and the thinnest beam in the family work together to deliver exceptional control, empowering aggressive hitters to swing freely and attack with confidence.
A sub‑325 swingweight keeps the racquet lightning‑fast through the air, offering effortless acceleration on heavy baseline drives and razor‑sharp responsiveness at net. On serve, the blend of precision and racquet‑head speed makes it easy to vary pace, shape, and placement—keeping opponents constantly off balance.
For 2026, Babolat introduces a re‑engineered aerodynamic shaft that reduces wind drag, unlocking even more explosive racquet‑head speed. Whether you’re ripping high‑RPM forehands, countering on the stretch, or flicking a passing shot on the run, the updated geometry helps you generate pace and spin with remarkable ease.
Comfort receives a meaningful upgrade as well. The latest evolution of NF² Tech strategically integrates flax fibers to filter harsh vibrations, delivering a cleaner, more arm‑friendly feel without sacrificing the crisp, connected response Pure Aero players expect.
Spin performance remains a defining advantage thanks to FSI Spin Technology, which pairs Babolat’s Woofer system with targeted Spin Grommets to increase dwell time and enhance string movement. The result is a racquet that grips the ball, shapes it, and sends it exactly where you intend—even on full‑throttle swings.
The Pure Aero 98 Gen 9 is built for experienced competitors who want a fast, spin‑oriented weapon that rewards commitment with laser‑like accuracy. The added boost in speed is the kind of upgrade that transforms how confidently you attack every point.
