Babolat Cortex

Cortex
Babolat's Cortex dampening system is designed to reduce harsh impact vibrations and offer greater comfort during play.

Cortex Pure Feel
Starting with the 2018 Pure Drive line, Babolat introduces Cortex Pure Feel. For this version of Cortex, Babolat partners with a company called SMAC, which supplies a thin viscoelastic rubber that is uniquely tailored to absorbing impact vibration. According to Babolat, it also provides a great sound at impact along with a more direct feel. This version of Cortex is located in the shaft of the racquet.
