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!
In 1994, Babolat makes its debut in the tennis racket world: the first-ever Pure Drive surprises with its blue color, lightness and power.
In 1998, Carlos Moya’s French Open victory brings the racket to the spotlight. This is the start of a series of victories and the making of a legend for a racket that suits many players, whether they are world #1 or a young club player.
With the same DNA that has made it one of the best selling rackets in the world, Babolat introduces in 2021 the new generation Pure Drive featuring optimal power and feel to allow players to unleash their game with confidence.
With the Pure Drive, Carlos Moya, Andy Roddick, Kim clijsters and Li Na walk away with impressive Grand Slam wins and live the legend of tennis.
