The Pure Drive 98 is designed for the advanced player with an aggressive playing style and high swing speed. The racket combines powerful response with high control, making it ideal for offensive players who want to dominate the game.


Who is Pure Drive 98 suitable for?

  • Has an offensive and active playing style
  • Hits with high intensity
  • Prioritizes both speed and precision
  • Want a stable racket with good control

The tighter string pattern results in reduced ball speed compared to other models in the series, increasing control without compromising power. The slightly thinner frame profile at the top contributes to improved accuracy.


NF2-Tech

NF2-Tech means that flax fibers have been integrated into the neck of the racket. Flax is a natural material with very good damping properties.

Advantages:

  • Effective vibration filtering
  • Smoother playing feel
  • Reduced strain on arm and wrist
  • Increased comfort during longer gaming sessions

Many players find that extra vibration dampeners are no longer needed thanks to the racket's built-in damping system.


FSI Power

FSI-Power is a collective name for several technologies that together optimize power transmission.

The system works by:

  • Extend the ball's contact time with the strings
  • Improve the interaction between frame and strings
  • Maximize energy recovery on impact

The result is higher ball speed, better response and more pressure on the shots.


Elliptic Frame

The Pure Drive 98 uses a combined frame profile with both elliptical and square structure.

The elliptical part:

  • Increases stability
  • Improves energy transfer
  • Gives more power in the strokes

The square part at the top:

  • Improves precision
  • Provides better control
  • Creates a smoother ball trajectory

This construction provides a balanced combination of speed and control.


HTR System

HTR System (High Torsional Rigidity) means that the racket is reinforced for higher torsional rigidity.

  • More stable hits
  • Less twist on off-center hits
  • Better power transfer outside the sweetspot
  • Increased forgiveness for misses

This provides a safer and more consistent game, even under pressure.


Stringing

The racket is delivered unstrung. You can easily add stringing through us by selecting the desired string and then specifying the stringing pressure in the notes after adding the racket to the shopping cart. Standard pressure: 21–24 kg.
