Brandon M. tested this product
The Babolat Pure Strike 18x20 is ideal for advanced players looking for precision and feel with very good stability. The moderate 11.4oz strung weight makes it less demanding than many classic players racquets, but the high 334RDC swingweight maintains all the stability that players need when facing hard hitting opponents.

What a gem!
5 /5
Allison is fantastic! She is super knowledgeable, friendly, and gave great suggestions. Allison took the time to understand what I was looking for, my likes/dislikes and then gave recommendations based on really listening to my needs. And she was spot on! Her recommendations were so great, I had trouble deciding but she was there again, helping me to narrow down to final choices. I have used Allison a few times and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. It was by sheer coincidence I got connected to Allison, who actually lives fairly close to me, and besides a knowledgeable expert for my tennis needs, I feel like I’ve gained a friend. She checks in periodically and I love that personal touch.
