Babolat adds another chapter to the game’s most iconic modern player’s racquet. As with previous versions of the Pure Drive, this update keeps the same easy learning curve and explosive spec profile that has attracted generations of players. Updated with Babolat’s new HTR System, the Pure Drive’s graphite layup has been re-engineered for higher torsional rigidity, resulting in more efficient energy transfer to the ball. To help with vibration dampening, Babolat has devoted more space in the shaft to SWX Pure Feel, a thin and extremely flexible viscoelastic rubber that sits between the racquet’s carbon layers. Additional features include FSI Power Technology, which optimizes the grommet system and string spacing for higher levels of power and spin. Key Features: HTR SYSTEM : The High Torsional Rigidity (HTR) system is a new lay-up composition in the hoop of the Babolat Pure Drive Tennis Racquet for increased rigidity to produce explosive winners at will. SWX PURE FEEL : New technology featuring extended wrapping of SMAC technology, the cutting-edge vibration filtration system integrated into the lay-up composition, provides an unrivaled feel at ball impact and a unique sound on every shot. ELLIPTIC FRAME : Elliptical frame structure of the Babolat Pure Drive Tennis Racquet comes with optimal resistance and overall rigidity which provides phenomenal power.
