The Pure Drive Team, Babolat puts the legendary spin, power and precision of the standard Pure Drive into a lighter, more user-friendly package. The upshot is a speedy sub 11 ounce racquet that gives rising intermediate players an explosive weapon. Updated with Babolat's new HTR System, the graphite layup has been re-engineered for higher torsional rigidity, resulting in more efficient energy transfer to the ball. To help soak up the harsher vibrations of this racquet's stiff construction, Babolat has devoted more real estate in the Pure Drive's shaft to SWX Pure Feel, a thin and extremely flexible viscoelastic rubber that sits between the carbon layers. Additional features include FSI Power Technology, which optimizes the grommet system and string spacing for higher energy return and vicious RPMs (think heavy ball).
On groundstrokes, the Pure Drive Team feels crisp, lively and accurate. All in all, the Pure Drive Team is simply a great option for the rising intermediate player who wants an easier path to aggressive tennis.
Playability: The Pure Drive Team is a great option for the Advanced tournament players looking for control-oriented racquet.
String pattern: Wider Cross-Strings (Open 16x19 string pattern) for added Power, Control and Spin.
