Babolat - Pure Drive Tennis rackets

Hit the ball harder, faster and stronger with the Babolat Pure Drive

Founded over 100 years ago in Lyon, France, Babolat gave the world the first tennis racket strings designed for the modern game. Since then they have been pouring years of research and development into each one of their creations. Their dedication has garnered attention and a following among top-tier players including the great Rafael Nadal. The original version of the Pure Drive hit the courts for the first time back in 1994 and has become an icon of the modern game. Its graphite structure delivered speed and power of a hitherto unknown level that has since been imitated by a number of other brands. The recent update of the legendary series of rackets maintains and enhances the focus on power but also takes steps to ensure that players are more likely to put that power on the court where it belongs. Babolat spent a great deal of time analysing modern play and have determined the areas of the racket where the ball most commonly makes contact. Consequently, the design of the Babolat Pure Drive locates the sweet spot higher up resulting in a higher likelihood of optimum contact.

An old classic enhanced by new technology

Not content with adapting the placement of the sweet spot, Babolat has also devised a way to make it bigger. By combining an optimized FSI string pattern with new diamond grommets, the ability to make perfect contact is enhanced even further. In addition, the company's patented Cortex technology allows for greater shock absorption while still delivering enough sensation to the hand to create an intuitive and natural experience. That said, the Babolat Pure Drive was known first and foremost for its ability to generate power reliably with every serve and volley. This aspect is still present and has even been improved and enhanced. While the higher sweet spot placement may require some adjustment time for players and may not suit every style of play, the wider area of the spot and the denser string placement will be a big boon for players who favour a power game and want to add more precision to their shot placement, especially from the baseline.
