I play with the v8 18x20 at the moment. Overall the Blade is much more controlled and “old school”. The Pure Strike is much more powerful while still being more controllable in launch thanks to the tighter string pattern. I enjoy the softer feel in the frame in combination with lower string tension to open of the string bed and still get some power
Great Video, Hello, my 12 year old daughter is going to move from the Head boom 26 , 250 grams junior racket to an adult racket. We are looking for a powerful racket with controls to have good hitting sensations. Here is our selection: 1.Head Boom MP L Weight unstrung (270 GR) 2.BABOLAT PURE DRIVE LITE (270 GR) 3.WILSON ULTRA 100UL V4.0 (260 GR) I welcome recommendations to make an informed choice. Thank you in advance for your help
I have to say I will not have the same knowledge when it comes to lighter versions of racquets, the tend to be stiffer and other specifications can differ from what I'm used to. In my opinion it doesn't make much of a difference at such young age since you will have to buy another racquets in short time again. They are all pretty alike so do what I would do, go for LOOKS! :)
@@Tennisrally_ Hi, thank you very much for your reply and I think we will continue with the Head Boom MP L, but we will try to test some racquets with the same string if possible. Regarding the racket string do you think it would be better to stay in multifilament for now or switch to monofilament already? What string would you choose for a 12-year-old girl? Thank you very much for your reply
Unless you have problems with the strings breaking to often you should always go multifilament. Next step is a hybrid with poly/multi and the you can go for a soft polyester string and so on. Slowly build up when the current setup does not work or does not have the same right amount of durability
Thank you Hampus! another great review and excellent hitting! glad to see a new video from you! 🙏🙋♂️ Appreciate Well done!
Great video, I was just looking at one of these the other day!
Do you use the v9 blade 18x20 now? How does it compare to the old pure strike 18 20 you used to play with?Thanks
