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.
