30th Anniversary Limited Edition Frame

The definitive choice for explosive power, the latest Pure Drive keeps all of what generations of players love about the iconic racket and make upgrades that bring it a step closer to perfection.

This 'standard spec' Pure Drive does a great job of balancing power and feel and has long been our go-to model for all-round playability. Due to its high level of versatility, it can be recommended to improving players for its easy-of-use, as well as advanced players looking to unleash their power from the baseline with a stable frame.

So exactly what makes this Pure Drive more 'explosive'? Babolat have made additions including the HTR System - a new lay-up composition for improved High Torsional Rigidity. This means that on high intensity shots, players can expect better energy transfer leading to increased power. Also new is the addition of SWX Pure Feel - an advanced vibration filtration system designed to improve feel and sound on ball impact.

In our play tests, we noticed improvements in power, responsiveness and comfort while in other areas it continued to meet the high standards set by the previous Pure Drive.
