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.

Precise Pure Drive 98

The smaller headsize from which the Babolat Pure Drive 98 takes its name gives advanced players a more concentrated sweetspot, ensuring a sweet connection on the ball when hit from the centre of the racket. The slightly denser 16/20 string pattern provides extra touch and feel, maximising the feedback you get from your shots. The improved feedback allows players to strategically craft and execute successful rally wins to take control of matches. The Gen11 98 has a lower RA than its Gen10 predecessor, with the reduced stiffness enhancing your playing experience and arm comfort.

Designed for advanced and intermediate players looking to seize control of matches, the Babolat Pure Drive encourages both aggressive and technical shots courtesy of the open 16/19 string pattern and 100 square inch headsize. The wide holes on the stringbed allow for more flex for faster exit speeds and more bite to generate spin, ideal for producing heavy topspin winners that leave your opponent flat-footed.
