What players say

Liked 7 sources

Reviewers describe the Pure Strike 100 16x19 (Carbon Grey is a cosmetic-only update to the 2024/4th-gen frame) as the most powerful and forgiving member of the Pure Strike line, trading a bit of the family's trademark control for easier depth, spin, and a bigger sweet spot. Playtesters generally land on a good power/control blend but flag it as slightly underpowered on serve/net and wanting more stability in stock form. Consensus is it suits intermediate to advanced players who want a fast, control-leaning frame with more forgiveness than the 16x20 or 98 versions.

Best for

Intermediate to advanced all-court players
Players wanting control with easier spin and depth
Those upgrading from tighter-pattern Pure Strikes
Players sensitive to arm strain seeking a flexier control frame

Pros

Fast, easy-to-swing feel described as maneuverable at net and through contact
Open 16x19 pattern gives easy access to spin and a higher, safer launch angle
Good blend of power and control that still leans control overall
Softer, more arm-friendly feel than the previous generation, per reviewers
Big enough sweet spot to be forgiving for intermediate players

Cons

Lacks plow-through power and stability on serve and at net in stock form
Some testers wanted more mass/weight added for stability
Advanced players may feel it offers too much assist and holds back full swings at stock tension
Not recommended for true beginners despite being the easiest Pure Strike to use

The Pure Strike 100 2024 felt so fast and easy to whip through contact

— Chris (Tennis Warehouse playtester), Web

It lacks a little plow-through power on serve and stability at net in stock form

— Chris (Tennis Warehouse playtester), Web

It didn't offer a lot of free power, so I did feel like I needed to swing out more, but the control was very good

— Jason (Tennis Warehouse playtester), Web

I found a good blend of power and control from the baseline...it still lands slightly on the control side

— Brittany (Tennis Warehouse playtester), Web

I couldn't quite swing out with confidence on my shots. I felt like I needed to hold back a bit.

— Tennisnerd.net reviewer, Web

The easiest racquet to use in the line-up besides the Pure Strike Team and I think many intermediate players will enjoy this one.
