Babolat Pure Drive
With its "best of class" combination of speed, power and spin, the Babolat Pure Drive is one of the most popular and versatile racquets ever made.
The new Pure Drive is loaded with new technology as well as a sleek blue cosmetic. Endorsed by pro players including Garbine Muguruza and Fabio Fognini, the Pure Drive is a perfect option for any player looking to supercharge their game.
Updated with a livelier, more open string bed thanks to FSI technology, the newest version of the Pure Drive was built for hitting heavy, spin-loaded balls that explode off the court. Babolat has also updated this racquet’s dampening system to Cortex Pure Feel for a more comfortable ride.

Play Testers’ Thoughts
"I found the stringbed to be forgiving, and my favorite part of the Pure Drive is that I could pick up balls hit at my feet easily and still hit an effective groundstroke because of the easy power I got from this racquet."
- Tiffani, TW Playtester
""The updated response from the previous version granted a noticeable increase in depth, spin and overall force on my groundstrokes. It also granted a consistent mix of good control and easy power on my serve."
- Hannah, TW Playtester
"This racquet felt light enough, fast enough and also solid enough for most volley situations. Popping volleys away to the deep corners of the baseline was fun."
- Chris, TW Playtester
"Love that Pure Drive feel. Power and a muted sweetspot! Loved it when serving both big flat serves and big kickers."
- Michelle, TW Playtester
