If you love playing with Babolat’s best selling tennis racquet, the Babolat Pure Drive, you’ll definitely fall for the Babolat Pure Drive GT Tennis Racquet. Babolat's technology team has outdone themselves yet again by bringing us the new GT technology. This tennis racquet features a bright blue color embedded with Graphite and Tungsten (GT). The graphite and tungsten in the Babolat Pure Drive GT provides a crisper, more solid swing response with added stability. Babolat has brought back the vibration dampening Cortex technology and also the Woofer System that cushions ball impact on your tennis strings. Players will find plenty of power from the baseline, while being able to generate a lot of spin on the ball. The Babolat Pure Drive GT will definitely gain as much popularity as its predecessors, having the ultimate vibration dampening trio.

We recommend the Babolat Pure Drive GT for NTRP rating 4.0+ tennis players. The weight is not extreme, so players should be able to handle the frame without much strain. The racquet stays true to the Babolat Pure Drive line by offering its traditional power and pop. The 100 square inch head size produces a large sweetspot, allowing miss-hits to be forgiven. If you are looking for a similar frame but with a longer reach and a little more pop, check out the Babolat Pure Drive GT Plus Tennis Racquet, or check out the Babolat Roddick Pure Drive GT Tennis Racquet for a heavier version. People of all ages will find this racquet appealing, so demo the racquet today!

After sitting out of tennis for 15+ years, I started back with a Head TiS5. I was not satisfied totally with this racquet so I switched to the Babolat Pure Drive GT from advice from a friend. I was caught between the 100 head and the 110 head. I am glad I went with the 100 head. It is perfect for my game. Easy on the elbow and hard on the opponent---thanks

Great racquet

User: Loc Nguyen, CA

It significantly improved my game. Paired with wilson sensation duo @58lbs and Wilson pro over grip, its become a killing machine. Super satisfactory and highly recommended!

Babolat -- Let the Racket Do The Work

User: Tony Snider, TX

Babolat rackets were highly recommended to me by a work colleague. She told me Babolat rackets do the work for you that the competitor rackets do not. Her theory proved spot on. I am thrilled with my first, but certainly not my last, Babolat racket. You have a satisfied customer for life.

POP!!

User: Jonathan C, TX

This racquet had really good power. The open string pattern gave really easy access to spin but ended up not fitting my play style very well.

Great Racquet

User: Chris Leutz, IL

My son absolutely LOVES his new Babolat Pure Drive GT racquet! He adjusted to it quickly and he feels like he has both more power and control than his previous racquet. I do have one issue though: a week after he started playing with it, one of the little rivets that attches the string to the raquet broke and slid off so its loose and makes a strange noise as hes hitting.

Pure Drive GT Tennis Rackets

User: Cheryl Cooke, GA

My doubles partner recently purchased the Pure Drive GT . . we both had played with an older model of the Pure Drive for years. I used her racket to play a couple of matches which we won! and received my new Pure Drive GT for Christmas. We both love this racket . . its very versatile . . produces great power on ground strokes, but is very easy to use on spin and touch shots . . and is very forgiving on off-center shots. Its one fun racket to play with!

Great racquet!

User: Ken Williams, NY

After demoing a bunch of racquets the GT really stood out. I liked this racquet from the very first swing. The 7pt head light weight distribution and huge sweet spot make it very comfortable for me to play with. The thing that stands out most is how forgiving the GT is! The vibration dampening technology really works well. Most racquets would punish you with mis-hits where the GT gives you confidence. The weight is light and the power seems moderate. With a little effort I get enough spin to keep the shots in. The racquet also provides a good sense of ball feedback. Strung with Wilson Sensation/58lbs

Great Racquet

User: John Ament, Michigan

I recently demoed 4 racquets and the Pure Drive GT stood out as the best by far for my type of play. I am a baseliner who will come to the net if necessary. I love the ballance of power and control this racquet offers. I also noticed a major improvement in the power and accuracy of my serve. I am a 4.5 player and this has helped my game.

Great Racquet

User: eduardo, tx

I really enjoyed the racquet, It gave me a good mixture of power and control. Although it felt a little stiff, but it gave me good power and good spin because of the open string pattern. All around it was a great Racquet.

Popular for a reason.

User: Lance, Tx

The Pure Drive gives great power and control as well. You will be hard pressed to find a racquet that feels as good as this on proper hits. I will put this in my hand any day.

Babolat Pure Drive GT

User: Phuoc, TX

The Pure Drive GT has a nice pop feel that accomodates each shot. However, for a racquet of this particular build, it has an awfully large reservoir of power. Though I cant say that it is anything short of excellent performance for any other player out there seeking a firm racquet with a nice blend of versatility from every direction. However, Im predominantly a heavy hitting and prefer to take large cuts at the ball. For this reason, the racquet and I did not see eye to eye as I did not get enough contol off of it. To accomodate for this, I had to make some adjustments such as slowing down my natural swing speed and shortening my stroke length a bit to keep my balls in. Overall, not a bad edition to the Babolat line up of racquets.

Pure Drive GT

User: David, Texas

This Babolat racquet has been around for years and it is no suprise when I see the way I perform with it. The Babolat Pure Drive GT is one of the best if not the best racquet at combining power with control and forgiveness. During serves, volleys, and groundstrokes this racquet has an all around amazing feel. I would however not recommend this racquet to players who have arm problems or are known for developing arm problems. Due to the stiffness of the racquet, it has been known to cause arm problems in different people. If it were not for my own arm problems I would still be playing with this racket.

User: Jordan, NE

I got this racquet looking for some power and control. I got it. Combined with my Hepta Twist 120 string, I get great power on my serve and spin on my groundstrokes. This racquet is good for players looking for more pop on their shots.

Babolat Pure Drive GT

User: David, GA

Great feel to it. Nice balance between power and control.

An excellent racquet.

User: Elsa, Tx

This Racquet is powerful, and not too heavy. It is being used by a 13 year old boy. He used to have the lite version, and he moved on to this one, a 300 gram one. He is very happy with it.

Great overall racket

User: Jay, CA

After demo-ing several Wilsons (which is what I used to play with) and a few Prince rackets, I finally tried a few Babolats and I was impressed. Overall, they fit my game (3.5-4.0) well and gave me a good combination of power and touch. Also, I found my serve had more touch and kick than ever before. The winner of the bunch hands-down was the Pure Drive GT. Great end to end performance, with power and finesse all in one package, not to mention a bit of forgiveness which I need in my game! I would highly recommend this racket.

Great Racquet

User: Amy, ut

Bought this for my 14 year old son and he loves it.

Babolat Pure Drive is Aaaaamazing

User: Parker, California

I bought one of these racquets about 3 months ago, and I fell in love. It is a beautiful racquet, and I ended up buying another 1 about a month ago, because I loved the first one so much. I highly suggest buying this racquet. Especially if you like a faster racquet (as in swing).

Game Changer

User: Barry, Georgia

I changed to this racket halfway through my fall season and noticed a huge change in my game. The weight is perfect and I am in control of my shots and using less arm power for winners. I demoed a lot of rackets and loved how this one felt.

Pure Drive GT

User: Mike, AZ

I love this racket! I took off 17 years from the game and came back. So, I tried out a dozen or so rackets and this one was by far the best as far as sweet spot and control. You can easily create slice, spin, or power. It's good for like 4.5 above speed volly's. I use it for 4.0 and 4.5 play and find it does more than enough.
