Fans of Babolat have been waiting for this frame for quite a while, and the 2018 Pure Drive Tennis Racquet will not dissappoint those hungry to try out their newest tweener racquet! With a redesigned paintjob and more minimalistic aesthetic, you can let your play do the talking for you while you are on the court. Moving with this minimalism, the popular Cortex system is built into the racquet. Now called Cortex Pure Feel, this technology will allow you to get better control on each hit through naturally enhanced feel. Much like the 2015 iteration of this racquet, it features Woofer Technology, designed to bring the user optimum control and sensation with every strike of the ball. Don't shy away from hitting with pace because the anti-twisting elliptical frame optimizes the power of the racquet itself. This racquet line has been very popular with tennis players since its birth, and the newest model is sure to continue the trend of excellence that Babolat is known for. For in inside on more Babolat gear released this year, read our blog post, "Babolat 2018 Gear Guide: Racquets, Shoes, and More." Take a look at our Beginners Guide to Buying a Racquet.
