Description

The Pure Strike VS is a racquet designed for precision and control over the ball suitable for improving intermediates to experienced players who need a racquet to work with a strong game.

The 97 square inch headsize is slightly smaller than the other Pure Strikes, therefore enhancing the tight control and ball feel that the Pure Strikes are known for. The weight is on the heavier side thereby providing excellent stability and drive on bigger swings but it isn't quite as heavy as some racquets in this class can get and so it maintains great manoeuvrability for easier spin potential and overall handling over the course of a match. The very head-light balance compliments and further enhances the manoeuvrability factor. The racquet is flexible for greater ball feel due to the increased dwell time of the ball on the string bed and the flex enhances overall comfort. The string pattern pattern isn't quite dense which helps the smaller headsize from feeling too tight and unforgiving.

The Pure Strike series are sought-after for their control-enhancing abilities and the VS takes it a step further by providing a platform for strong players looking to push their limits.

Photos used contain images of strings for illustration purposes. Adult tennis racquets are unstrung unless otherwise noted or stringing services have been selected above. Brand logo stencils are not applied by default with stringing services. If you request brand logo stencils, please note that a stencil is painted onto the strings within a brand's stencil and may wear off over time - this is how stencils are applied on tour. Depending on the string you select, the stencil paint application fullness, colour and visibility may vary.
Adult racquets generally do not come with covers. To protect your racquet, we recommend getting a racquet bag.

Product specs such as weight may vary slightly from racquet to racquet to what is advertised due to the manufacturing process.

To determine your grip size without using a racquet, measure from the tip of your ring finger to the major fold crease in your palm. Write down the distance to the nearest 8th of an inch. This is your standard grip size.

Grip size palm measurements for tennis racquets

If you fall somewhere between the measurements, it is recommended to choose the smaller grip size as you can always build the grip size up using an overgrip (for a slight increase) or a grip build-up sleeve (for a half or full size increase). The grip measurements above factor in the pre-installed factory grip.
