How it plays — our read

On the numbers, the Pure Strike 100 Gen4 is built around control and stability. It avoids any glaring weakness across the spec sheet. The weight sits in the accessible-but-stable middle, workable for a wide range of swing speeds. Arm comfort is middle-of-the-road: fine for most players, worth softer strings if you are sensitive.

String and tension recommender

Setup
Multifilament/poly hybrid
Tension
48-54 lbs / 22-24.5 kg
A slightly firmer setup can sharpen directional control. Do not chase control with high tension if comfort drops. Hybrid (gut/poly or multi/poly) at 50-56 lbs for feel.
