Babolat Pure Aero 98 Tennis Racquet (2026)

The Babolat Pure Aero line is one of the most iconic models in tennis, and the all new Babolat Pure Aero 98 (2026 edition) is the most precise and control-oriented racquet in the family, built for aggressive players who want to swing fast and hit their targets with confidence.

Designed for advanced, spin-focused baseliners, the 2026 Pure Aero 98 features a more compact 98 square inch head and a tighter 16x20 string pattern to deliver exceptional directional control without sacrificing topspin potential. A thinner beam and lighter 305g weight provide easy acceleration and quick handling, allowing players to attack from the baseline or transition confidently to the net.

A reengineered shaft geometry reduces air resistance, helping generate faster swing speeds and a more explosive response through contact. FSI Spin Technology pairs Babolat’s proven Woofer system with strategically placed Spin Grommets to increase dwell time and string movement for heavy spin and a responsive feel. Updated NF2 Tech flax fibres woven into the graphite construction help dampen vibration while maintaining a clean, connected impact.
