How it plays — our read

On the numbers, the Pure Strike Team is built around control and arm comfort. It avoids any glaring weakness across the spec sheet. It is easy to swing and quick to maneuver, which suits developing strokes, doubles reflexes, and longer sessions. Arm comfort is middle-of-the-road: fine for most players, worth softer strings if you are sensitive.

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. Soft hybrid at moderate tension.
