Babolat Cortex & SWX Pure feel

2021 Pure Drive - SWX Pure Feel
Babolat extends the SMAC (viscoelastic rubber) layer further up the shaft for increased dampening.

2019 Pure Aero
Babolat moves Cortex Pure Feel to 3 and 9 o'clock in the head. In addition to reducing harsh impact vibrations, this technology, when placed at this location, also increases dwell-time and spin potential.

2018 Pure Drive
Babolat places Cortex Pure Feel in the shaft in order to filter out harsh vibrations.

Cortex Pure Feel
For this version of Cortex Technology, Babolat partners with a company called SMAC, which supplies a thin viscoelastic rubber that is uniquely tailored to absorbing impact vibration. The material is put inside the frame between carbon layers. In addition to adding comfort, Babolat has designed this material technology to provide a great sound at impact along with a cleaner, more direct feel. The specific location of this technology varies with the racquet family.
