The 4th-generation Pure Strike 98 18x20 is the closed-pattern version of the line, preferred by those who hit hard and flat and want a low, predictable trajectory. It has 98 in², 305 g unstrung, 323 g strung, a high swingweight of 332 and a 320 mm balance. The 21/23/21 mm beam and the 63 RA stiffness, with flax in the handle, make the feel firm but comfortable. The 18x20 pattern reduces spin in exchange for control and string durability.

Approval from players30%72
Versatility15%72

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.
