Adult Tennis Racket Pure Drive 300 g - Light Blue
This Babolat Pure Drive racket was designed for advanced tennis players looking for a powerful, stable racket.
The new Babolat Pure Drive is a bit more powerful and, with the new FLAX TAPE 2.0, you get an even better feel on impact. 300 g.
BENEFITS
Power
The HTR SYSTEM provides higher torsional rigidity for more power
Stability
An elevated inertia gives it excellent stability on impact.
Vibration dampening
The SWX PURE FEEL technology dampens vibrations.
TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Weight (unstrung racket)
300 g.
Weight: The weight is measured in grams. Just like balance point and length, the weight impacts a racket's swing weight and therefore its manoeuvrability, stability and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racket, the more power it transfers to the ball, but the harder it is to handle. The lighter the racket, the easier it is to handle, but the trade-off is less power.
Balance (unstrung racket)
32 cm
Balance: This is the racket balance point, measured in centimetres from the bottom of the shaft. The higher the number (head heavy), the more powerful and stable upon impact the racket will be. However, it will also be harder to manoeuvre. The smaller the number (head light or handle heavy), the easier the racket will be to handle but you'll have less power and stability.
Head size
645 cm²
Head size: This is the surface area of the racket head size measured in squared centimetres. It has an impact on the racket's forgiveness and power. The larger the head size, the more powerful and forgiving it is, but the downside is less control. The smaller the head size, the greater the feeling of control, but you sacrifice some power and forgiveness.
Stiffness (RA)
Ra
Ra: This refers to the racket's stiffness, i.e. how much it bends under the impact of the ball. The stiffer the racket (the higher the Ra), the less it bends. The energy lost on impact is minimised and returned to the ball via the strings. Generally, a stiffer racket offers greater power.
Swingweight (unstrung racket)
SW =
Swingweight: This indicates how easy a racket is to handle and its ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The higher the swingweight, the more powerful the racket, but also the harder it will be to handle. Conversely, the lower the swingweight, the easier the racket will be to handle, but the trade-off is less power. The swingweight is derived from a combination of the racket weight, balance and length.
Stringing:
16 x 19
String pattern: This is the number of mains (vertical strings) x the number of crosses (horizontal strings). The more strings the pattern has, the more "closed" it is; the fewer it has, the more "open" it is. A more closed string pattern offers a greater feeling of control, but less power and spin. A more open string pattern provides more power and spin, but less control.
Length
68.5 cm
Length: This is the length of the racket from the bottom of the grip to the top of the head. It is measured in centimetres. The longer the racket, the more power you'll get, but the flip side is that it will be harder to handle. The shorter the racket, the easier it will be to manoeuvre, but you'll have to give up power.
Cross section
Cross section (in mm): 23/26/23.
FLAX TAPE 2.0
The new FLAX TAPE 2.0 is made from unwoven natural fibres aligned in one direction for a greater feel on impact.
HTR SYSTEM
This system, which guarantees high torsional rigidity (HTR), was added to the frame for greater rigidity to enhance the feeling of power and explosiveness.
SWX PURE FEEL
A new technology that showcases the SMAC technology, a revolutionary dampening system built into the racket design for exceptional feel and sound on every hit.
ELLIPTIC FRAME
Elliptical cross section for optimal durability and overall rigidity for more power.
FSI Power Technology
A system that enhances the interaction between the frame and strings. Along with an open 16 x 19 string pattern and diamond-shaped grommets, it creates a bigger sweet spot for superior power.
