To serious tennis players, the Pure Drive needs no introduction. As one of the best selling rackets of the 21st century you really can’t go too far wrong with a Pure Drive and the latest iteration is no exception.

First impressions are lasting and the new cosmetics for 2021 are stunning, still staying true to the blue heritage of the range. On court the racket delivers the Pure Drive signature blend of power and stability whilst maintaining maneuverability. The introduction of Babolat’s Smac Wrap eXtended technology has added greater comfort without compromising on feel and the new high torsional rigidity system has improved stability at impact.

There isn’t really anything about this racket that we don’t like. For a strong, advanced level player, wanting power and spin from the baseline, this may be the one.
