Babolat Pure Drive 30th Anniversary

In celebration of the game's most iconic modern player's racquet, Babolat releases a very special 30th Anniversary edition of the Pure Drive. With its explosive spec profile and easy learning curve, the Pure Drive remains in a class by itself. Technologies include Babolat's  HTR System, which increases the beam's torsional rigidity for more efficient energy transfer to the ball (think stability and power). 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.

On the court, this racquet's explosive acceleration, easy power and spin-friendly targeting make it dangerous in the hands of an aggressive baseliner. It also packs impressive all-court mobility, making it great for charging into the front court and finishing points at net. A must-have for collectors, this 30th Anniversary edition of the Pure Drive offers the legendary speed, spin and power that has attracted generations of players

POWER, VERSATILITY AND FEEL FOR EVERYONE.  CREATE MORE POWER ON EVERY SHOT.  VERSATILE RACKET THAT BRINGS EASY ACCESS TO SPIN.  PURE FEEL ON EVERY SHOT.

Players need to sustain power in any situation against every type of opponent. The new Pure Drive includes an optimized FSI Power string pattern and new diamond grommets to provide a larger sweet spot. The result is maximum power on every shot, even when off-centered. Babolat’s FSI Power gives players the necessary confidence to attempt everything on court, and more importantly, to perform at their highest level.

The brand’s vibration absorption technology, Cortex, provides useful information to players, bringing sensations closer to the hand. Thanks to a bold technological partnership, the new Pure Drive features an evolution of this concept to achieve an optimal feeling.
