Considered to be the most popular and widely used racquet over the last 30 years, the Babolat Pure Drive 2025 Generation 11 line of racquets carries on this long line of racquet excellence. The Pure Drive 98 is geared towards strong aggressive players who need maximum control and feel while sacrificing effortless power. The smaller head size and denser string pattern greatly enhance the feel when connecting with the ball, and will give its wielder remarkable force and precision with their ground strokes. The Pure Drive has primarily been a baseliner racquet, but the smaller 98 head size will be favored by those who like to finish at the net.
For 2025, Babolat lowered the stiffness which translates to improved comfort, but without compromising the powerful feel this racquet has been known for. An updated version of the NF2 Tech dampens the throat to smooth out any harsh vibrations. As with most Babolat racquets, the FSI Power tech helps the racquet transfer more ball energy for greater access to effortless power. Lastly, a layup construction called the HTR System, stiffens the goop, enhancing power and creating more stability and less wobble on off-center hits.
