Add To Cart demo racquet

Used by several pro tour players. This racquet has redefined the term player's racquet, bringing more power, extended length and greater maneuverability to the player's racquet category. Being lighter and more powerful than a traditional player's racquet, the Pure Drive Plus is perfectly suited to today's fast swinging power player. Its light weight and maneuverability also make it a great choice for intermediate players looking for a spin friendly racquet that offers a nice blend of power and control. Although the Pure Drive Plus looks to be just a slightly longer version of the Pure Drive Standard, our playtests suggest more subtle differences beyond the extra 1/2 inch of length (see "Read The Review" icon below). It has many of the same attributes of the Pure Drive but with more heft, more reach, and more power.

Note: The tension listed on both Pure Drive models (50-55) is designed to "optimize Woofer grommet performance." Babolat informed us that the racquets may be strung up to 65 pounds without voiding the racquet's warranty.
