BabolatPure Drive Tennis Racket

About

The Babolat Pure Drive (2024) continues the legacy of one of the world’s most iconic tennis rackets, delivering explosive power, fast handling, and improved feel for modern aggressive players. Built for players who want easy depth, powerful baseline shots, and confident all-court performance, the latest Pure Drive range introduces enhanced comfort and refined responsiveness while maintaining the signature Pure Drive explosiveness players love.

Available in both the standard Pure Drive and the more control-focused Pure Drive 98, the 2024 lineup gives players the choice between maximum accessible power or a tighter, tour-inspired precision frame. Both models are available in L2 and L3 grip sizes to suit different player preferences and hand sizes.
