  I have always been a control racquet player (Blades, Pro Staff, Prestige, Radical, Gravity, TF40 &amp; Co.) and playing club level tournaments with my opponents taking more and more to Pure Drives and Pure Aeros and EZones &amp; Co., I also realized that, although I&apos;m playing my best tennis ever (even at 52 now), I need more power because while I enjoy those control racquets more, I hate being bullied around by guys not even swining but firing sharp. So I started my journey of finding a racquet to suit my preferred control/power ratio. Couldn&apos;t really become friends with PA, PD or EZones (not even the 98s) Just too much power without the control I&apos;d like to have. <br>Finally, I did find a racquet which ticks all my boxes. And I&apos;m really surprised by my choice. Babolat Pure Strike 100 (16x20). Never thought I&apos;d take a 100... But this is a beast (and doesn&apos;t feel like a 100). Spin, flat control, serving (my ace rate has gone up significantly). And even when I&apos;m late, I can still pull off passing shots I never thought I could dig out. Just all great. And with this thing I&apos;m bullying ht epA, PD and EZone fraction now. Took me a year and stacks of money to find out, but well, happy now. Can really recommend this racquet for people playing control racquets and looking for a bit more power but unwilling to lose control...

  You’re a feel first player. So for sure the chosen one will be the 305s.

  2025 truly is the year of blue rackets. I bet you’ll end up with the TFight 305s blue edition 😂

  I really like your videos and find them quite helpful. It would be great if you would make one focused on string durability, where you go into detail, of how often to restring at what level exactly, what strings are the most durable for what category, how tension affects the durability, also in hybrid setups with different tension, etc. I know, that you have covered some of those points in the past, but it would really help to lern more in detail about that stuff. I would really appreciate it.

  I am so relieved that I am not the only one who struggled to gel with the Pure aero 98!

  The Aero 98 has been exploding in popularity. &nbsp;I am happy to see some more negative aspects to that racket not working for a player. &nbsp;I know some Aero 100 users switch and they lost consistentcy in thier game. &nbsp;I tried it and can see the appeal. &nbsp; It was hard to manage when stretched out for me. &nbsp;<br>You have great choices that are unique contenders when considered together. &nbsp;I think you will end up with the Puredrive 100 or Ezone 98. &nbsp;The Puredrive is tried and true power frame. &nbsp;The Ezone 98 brings some of that same magic in a more controlled package. &nbsp;Any racket on your list will be awesome. &nbsp;The rackets today are awesome in covering a wide range of players. &nbsp;We are spoiled with so many choices and its just fun. &nbsp;Cheers Luca! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on each racket.

  surprised not to see the extreme pro 98 on here. seems like it would be right there in the mix, and an obvious transition from the boom.
