Overview
This very special version of the Pure Drive celebrates Wimbledon! It was made for the 2020 championship but never released to the public..... until now! It has the same specs and playability as the 2018 Pure Drive (one of our favorites). We are offering it for a limited time at an outstanding price. With its "best of class" combination of speed, power and spin, the Pure Drive is one of the most popular and versatile racquets ever made. Although it is weighted for intermediate players (11.2 ounces), this racquet's outstanding playability and easy acceleration lend it an appeal that cuts across ability levels and stroke styles. Signature technologies include FSI Power, which delivers a more powerful and spin-friendly hitting experience. To help with comfort, this racquet has Babolat's Cortex dampening system , which features a unique viscoelastic rubber used in the space industry. On groundstrokes the Pure Drive hits a powerful ball. Aggressive players who like to scramble and crank winners on the run should love this stick. The wider string spacing not only provides big spin potential, but it launches the ball at a higher trajectory, resulting in high-arching shots the come down hard and explode off the court (think heavy ball). At net the Pure Drive checks all the right boxes. It offers quick handling and big put-away power, but it also feels wonderfully solid for its weight class. Aggressive servers will find enough power and spin to force weak replies. Ultimately, this limited edition Pure Drive not only delivers speed, power and spin but it's also a great collector's item!
This is the 2018 model!
