Overview
Babolat lists the Pure Aero 98 Gen9 Unstrung with a 630 cm² / 98 in² head, 685 mm / 27 in length, 305 g +/- 7 unstrung weight, 315 mm +/- 7 unstrung balance, 295 swing weight, and a 16x20 stringing pattern. The cited page identifies this exact configuration as unstrung.
Construction and context
The manufacturer’s technical characteristics name graphite composition and a 21/23/22 section. Babolat labels Aeromodular4, NF²-Tech 2.0, and FSI Spin as technologies; those are manufacturer labels, rather than independent evidence of a particular playing result.
Who it may suit
This record can help a shopper distinguish Babolat’s published 98 in², 16x20, unstrung configuration from other Pure Aero Gen9 records and compare the listed dimensions and stringing fields. Those fields do not establish fit or outcome for a particular player.
Specifications in context
- 305 g +/- 7 unstrung weight and 315 mm +/- 7 unstrung balance
- These are Babolat’s published unstrung-frame fields with stated tolerances, useful for comparison but not exact measurements of every individual racquet.
- 16x20 stringing pattern and 21-25 kg / 46-55 lbs tension recommendation
- These are the manufacturer’s listed stringing fields for this configuration, not a prediction of feel, durability, or a particular player’s result.
Tradeoffs and caveats
- Babolat attaches a +/- 7 tolerance to the published unstrung weight and balance values, so individual frames can vary.
- The listed swing-weight and stiffness fields are manufacturer-supplied comparison data, not independent measurements made by this directory.
- Strings, grip changes, dampeners, and other setup choices change a finished racquet beyond the stated unstrung configuration.
