The 2023 Pure Aero 98 replaced the old Pure Aero VS and brought the spin of the Aero line to a player's format: a 98 in² head, a 16x20 pattern, a thinner 21/23/22 mm beam and 323 g strung. It has a swingweight of 327, 6 points handle-light balance and 65 RA stiffness, with NF2 Tech flax to soften the impact. It delivers more control and stability than the Pure Aero 100, while keeping good spin generation for players with a fast swing.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs55%59
Approval from players30%80
Versatility15%68

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.

Buyer reviews

Average of the ratings given at each store, weighted by how many reviews each one has.

Store ratings may reflect the store experience (shipping, service), not only the racquet.
