Price: With its oversize head and extra .5 inch length frame, the Babolat Pure Drive Oversize offers more power and spin potential than its Midplus brother. The open string pattern of the Pure Drive Oversize lends itself to the potential for copious amounts of spin on both groundstrokes and serves. Lightweight with an even balance, the Pure Drive Oversize is easy to whip around on groundstrokes and offers a surprising amount of maneuverability at the net. We found the Pure Drive Oversize especially offered a lot of grip on slice serves and groundstrokes. The Pure Drive Oversize also has a larger sweetspot than the Midplus, making it more forgiving in play. With a broad player appeal, the Pure Drive Oversize offers enough power and spin for baseliners, while still providing plenty of control and maneuverability for intermediate doubles players and net rushers. Intermediate players with longer, faster swings, may want to string at the higher end of the tension range. The versatility of the Pure Drive Oversize makes it an effective tool for 3.5-4.5 players. By taking advantage of the broad recommended string tension range, the Pure Drive Oversize can be tailored to suit slow-moderate, moderate and moderate-fast swing styles. The Pure Drive Oversize features Babolat's Woofer grommet technology (see link at right for more information) designed to provide added power and comfort. Winner of the Tennis Magazine Editors' Choice award 2003 Note: The tension listed on the Pure Drive Oversize (55/62) is designed to "optimize Woofer grommet performance." Babolat informed us that the racquet may be strung up to 65 pounds without voiding the racquet's warranty.
