Babolat Pure Drive

Babolat has maintained its reputation for power and simplicity of use for decades. The brand continued this tradition by introducing Babolat Pure Drive and the HTR mechanism, a new layup that provides more power. Its viscoelastic rubber is sandwiched between the racquet's carbon layers for added comfort.

This frame utilizes the same mold as the 2019 edition, but now Babolat Pure Drive has enhanced the frame further, bringing it closer to the original version of Pure Drive from the 1990s in terms of playability. The Pure Drive is all about pure power and spin frame, so if that is what you're after, this is a racket to add to your shortlist. It performs just how a typical Pure Drive should - with excellent maneuverability, a light feel, lots of power, and the ability to be a true weapon from the start that helps you secure your deserved victory.

The only thing to watch out for is the stiff frame, which may create arm troubles. Also, if you are a player who naturally smashes huge balls, you may struggle for precision. But other than that, Babolat Pure Drive is an excellent pick for players of all abilities.
