How it plays — our read
On the numbers, the Pure Strike 18x20 Gen4 is built around control and stability. Its spin is the softest spot, so weigh that against what you prioritise. It asks for a confident, full swing and rewards players who generate their own racket-head speed. The stiffer layup transmits more shock, so arm-sensitive players should pair it with a soft string at lower tension or look at a more flexible frame.
