Andy Roddick’s Pure Drive Roddick series receives an update with Babolat’s new GT Technology. The Babolat Pure Drive Roddick GT Plus Tennis Racquet features all of the great attributes of the Babolat Pure Drive GT Plus Tennis Racquet but with a heavier weight, slightly thiner beam, and a more head light balance. The racquet’s added length results in faster swings and allow for aggressive shots with plenty of spin. There is plenty of excellent stability and power without sacrifice of control. The graphite/tungsten (GT) construction offers a much more solid feel on all groundstrokes. The Cortex system is back, further dampening all unwanted vibrations. The racquet also features the Woofer technology to cushion ball impact, completely the ultimate vibration dampening trio.

We recommend the Babolat Pure Drive Roddick GT Plus Tennis Racquet for advanced tennis players, specifically NTRP 4.5 or higher. If you’re a baseline player who loves to take great long and powerful swings at the ball, you will definitely love this racquet. You will find plenty of heft in your swing and on your serves. The open string pattern also offers easy access to spin, and the large headsize gives way for a little bit of forgiveness. Check out the Babolat Pure Drive Roddick GT Tennis Racquet for the standard size to allow more maneuverability, or the Babolat Pure Drive GT Plus Tennis Racquet for the lighter version. Demo one today!

Easy switch from earlier version

User: Scott, Louisiana

I just bought this racquet, after using the previous Andy Roddick model. I've only used it a few times, but I do think I like this one better, and it was a very easy switch. It took literally no time to get used to the new racquet. The racquet seems to hit very cleanly.

Great Frame and Great Looks!

I demod Babolat Roddick GT and it is an awesome frame! I was shocked at how crisp backhand slices and volley were. I thought I would never switch from my trusty Prince Graphite 90, but this stick is better is every way! Bigger sweet-spot and more powerful ground-strokes-even on the run. I can hit winners from everywhere. Serves are more powerful. This is a very stable racquet and designed for better players who generate a lot of power. I am going to buy 2 racquets since I was totally convinced from the first minute hitting with it. I also tried the previous model and simply did not like it. Babolat must have redesigned everything while keeping the cortex system. And they did it with the most bealtiful color/graphics of any racquet out there! Its like driving a sky blue Audi A4 turbo quatro with white racing stripes! I am now a big fan of Babolat...

one word amazing

I just played with my Babolat Roddick GT Plus and it didnt take long to get used to the 27.5 in length! I just have to adjust my timing a little. I believe this is even better than the regular length stick! Serves were very accurate and powerful, as well as groundstrokes. Again, the biggest surprise was how stable backhand slices and volleys are! You may give upa little feel compared to the Wilson 6.1 90, but overall, a much more forgiving and powerful stick! After 20 years of playing with my trusty POG 90, this new Babolat is simply amazing. I can hit winners all day!
