The hugely popular and versatile Pure Drive gets even better with improved feel in this version. A racquet that seemingly
fits every
playing style, the Pure Drive blends power, spin and a crisp and precise response. When strung with a string like Babolat
Xcel the
Pure Drive offers superb power, a comfortable feel and a very forgiving response. With a soft and powerful string, the
racquet is
perfect for stronger beginners through intermediate players. Add a co-polyester string like Babolat RPM Blast and the
racquet is
perfect for advanced players looking to add tons of spin and control to powerful shots. At net the racquet feels extremely
fast and
mobile. A popular choice with both ATP and WTA doubles players, the Pure Drive offers crisp precision to go with its
power and
mobility. Babolat's Cortex Active Technology updated the response for a cleaner feel, and our TW testers found surprising
comfort
from this one. All in all an immensely impressive racquet that fits almost every playing style and level. Just like previous
versions, this
one will be just as effective tearing up club and park competition as it will at the collegiate and pro levels. Note:
Due to racquet stiffness, when stringing with a
polyester or a co-polyester we highly suggest
54lbs as a starting point for tension.
