Babolat Pure Drive + Gen11

The Pure Drive Gen11, a legendary game-changing racquet series, improves on its comfort and feel where this model is ideal for intermediate to advanced players seeking maximum power and spin, enhanced by its extended length.

The racquet's 100-square-inch head size is ideal for most players, offering a balanced mix of control and power. Its open string pattern enhances spin and power generation with less effort. Weighing 10.6 ounces, it provides excellent stability for high-intensity play while remaining light enough to deliver ample power during extended baseline rallies. The head-light balance supports versatile all-court play, allowing for quicker swings, easier spin, and rapid adjustments. This racquet stands apart from the standard 10.6-ounce edition with its extended length, providing extra reach and added power for players capable of managing it.

Compared to a traditional flat-beam racquet, the elliptical frame design, retained from earlier generations, enhances stability and energy transfer. Its resistance to twisting, especially on off-center hits, results in more consistent power. This advantage becomes particularly noticeable for baseline players who favor heavier, more powerful shots.

For the "Gen11" update, Babolat has integrated their NF2 Tech 2.0 which features 100% unidirectional flax fibers, providing enhanced mechanical strength with improved vibration filtration. Players will get increased power and more arm-friendly feel overall which is ideal for players loading up their shots with big swings.

The new Pure Drive offers something for everyone. New players will appreciate its versatility, making it suitable for various skill levels while delivering impressive power and spin. Returning players will value the enhanced comfort and the racquet's ability to support full-swing performance.

• NF2 Tech 2.0: A new version 2.0 of natural flax fibers. This new 100% unidirectional flax fabric offers greater mechanical strength in the direction of the fibers and optimal filtration of vibrations. The flax patches are located in the throat of the racquet* to filter and to let only the good feelings through to the hand. *And in the frame for Team, Lite, S Lite and 107 models
• FSI Power: Frame String Interaction Power is a technology that combines an open string pattern, diamond-shaped grommets and a Woofer system to enhance the energy return of the strings. A longer contact time between the ball and the strings gives you more power and feel when you hit the ball.
• HTR System: This High Torsional Rigidity (HTR) system has been added to the frame's composition to increase impact stability and energy return.
• Elliptic Frame: An elliptical frame structure optimizes stability at the throat of the racquet to maximize the energy return of the strings and to deliver more power.

Photos used contain images of strings for illustration purposes. Adult tennis racquets are unstrung unless otherwise noted or stringing services have been selected above. Brand logo stencils are not applied by default with stringing services. If you request brand logo stencils, please note that a stencil is painted onto the strings within a brand's stencil and may wear off over time - this is how stencils are applied on tour. Depending on the string you select, the stencil paint application fullness, colour and visibility may vary.
Adult racquets generally do not come with covers. To protect your racquet, we recommend getting a racquet bag.

Product specs such as weight may vary slightly from racquet to racquet to what is advertised due to the manufacturing process.
