The 4th-generation Pure Strike 97 is the most compact racquet with the thinnest beam in the Strike family, aimed at advanced players who generate their own power. It has 97 in², 310 g unstrung, 332 g strung, a 310 mm balance (very light in the handle), a swingweight of 321 and a 16x20 pattern. The 21/22/21 mm beam, the 63 RA stiffness and the flax of NF2 Tech in the handle give a softer, more precise feel. The Carbon Grey version only changes the paint.

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.
