Babolat Pure Drive VS (300g) - 2 Pack
With the Pure Drive VS, Babolat adds a new chapter to the one of the game's most iconic racquets. Like the standard Pure Drive, these racquets were invented for the explosive mechanics of the modern power game. What separates it from the standard Pure Drive is a slightly smaller head size along with a thinner, more flexible beam. The upshot is a racquet that not only gives you a more "connected feel" at impact, but one that launches the ball with greater predictability and precision.
This model includes Babolat's FSI Power technology, which features diamond shaped grommet holes and wider string spacing (think spin). From the baseline, the Pure Drive VS is a crisp point and shoot weapon that offers mindless targeting on full swings. It swings faster than the standard Pure Drive, which means you'll find it easier to swing bigger when adding pace and spin to your shots. This stick is also great for scrambling on defense or executing winners on the run. At net and on service returns the Pure Drive VS moves into position with lightning speed. Although it isn't as stable as a traditionally weighted player's racquet, the combination of speed and precision make it pretty dangerous in the right hands. On serves, the Pure Drive VS whips through contact with ease to deliver a nice combination of accuracy and pop. Ultimately, with its crisp and clean feel, controllable power and excellent spin, the Pure Drive VS will definitely turn some heads.
The racket specifically designed for players who want to give their game more power.
Pure Power, maneuverability and maximal feel
The Babolat Pure Drive has been Babolat’s mythical product for the past 20 years!

Babolat Pure Drive VS (300g) - 2 Pack
Babolat adds another chapter to the game's most iconic modern player's racquet. As with previous versions of the Pure Drive, this update keeps the same easy learning curve and explosive spec profile that has attracted generations of players. Updated with Babolat's new HTR System, the Pure Drive's graphite layup has been reengineered for higher torsional rigidity, resulting in more efficient energy transfer to the ball. To help with vibration dampening, Babolat has devoted more space in the shaft to SWX Pure Feel, a thin and extremely flexible viscoelastic rubber that sits between the racquet's carbon layers. Additional features include FSI Power Technology, which optimizes the grommet system and string spacing for higher levels of power and spin.
On court, this racquet's explosive acceleration and spin-friendly targeting make it a dangerous weapon from the baseline. It also packs impressive all-court mobility, making it great for cranking winners on the run or charging into the front court and finishing points at net. Although not the most stable member in the Pure Dive franchise, this update won't disappoint in stock form, especially if you place a premium on quick handling. With incremental tweaks to the feel, the Pure Drive continues to be one of the best options for those who want a light and explosive player's racquet.
