Babolat Pure Drive 2025: The 11th Generation of Optimal Feel and Power
The 11th generation of the Babolat Pure Drive improves upon 30 years of dependable quality by adding NF2 Tech to enhance the feel and control you get from your shots.
Delivering high levels of feel and power, the Babolat Pure Drive Gen11 range encourages aggressive players to show off their full array of shots to be able to control the court and craft out winners. The racket’s Frame String Interaction Power system ensures the strings can flex to produce high ball exit speeds while the High Torsional Rigidity system prevents the racket from rotating or twisting upon impacts, keeping energy from the swing focused directly onto the ball. The open string pattern allows players to generate spin with ease, building an arsenal of both powerful topspin winners and crafty drop shots to help get the edge in every rally.
New Tech: NF2 Tech
As introduced in the 2023 Pure Aero, the Pure Drive Gen11 uses NF2 Tech to reinforce the frame with flax fibre inserts that filter vibrations to give you the best sense of feedback from your shots. The more positive intrinsic feel improves your control and gives you the confidence to push the ball closer to the lines, putting your opponent on the back foot so that you can dictate rallies.
