Adult tennis racket - Babolat Pure Drive light blue 300g

This Babolat Pure Drive racquet is designed for EXPERT tennis players looking for power and stability.

Weight (unstrung racquet)

300 grams Weight: Mass is actually measured in grams. Like balance and length, weight affects the racket's inertia and therefore its maneuverability, stability, and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racket, the more energy it can transfer to the ball, but the less maneuverable it is likely to be. Conversely, the lighter it is, the more maneuverable it is, but the less energy it transfers to the ball.

Balance (unstrung racquet)

32 cm Balance: This is the balance point of the racket, measured in centimeters from the bottom of the racket (handle). The higher this value (head balance), the more powerful and stable the racket is at impact but the less maneuverable it is. Conversely, the lower this value (handle balance), the more maneuverable the racket is but the less powerful and stable it is at impact.

Sieve size

645 cm² Head Size: This is the surface area in cm² of the racket's head. It impacts the racket's forgiving and powerful feel. The larger the head size, the more powerful and forgiving the racket is, but the less controlled it feels. Conversely, the smaller the head size, the more controlled the racket feels, but the less powerful and forgiving it feels.

Rigidity (RA)

RA Ra: Defines the stiffness of the racket, i.e. its ability to deform under the impact of the ball. The stiffer the racket (i.e. the higher the Ra), the less it deforms on impact. The energy lost on impact by the racket is thus minimized and returned to the ball via the strings. Thus, it is customary to say that the stiffer a racket is, the more powerful it is.

Inertia (unstrung racquet)

SW = Inertia (Swingweight in English): This primarily characterizes the racket's maneuverability and its ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The higher a racket's inertia, the more powerful the racket is, but the more difficult it is to maneuver. Conversely, the lower a racket's inertia, the more maneuverable the racket is, but the less powerful it is. It is largely a result of the racket's weight, balance, and length.

String pattern

16 x 19 String Pattern: This is the number of uprights (vertical strings) x the number of cross strings (horizontal strings). The more strings the string pattern has, the more "closed" they are, and the fewer strings it has, the more "open" it is. The more closed the string pattern, the more control it provides but the less power or spin it provides. Conversely, the more open it is, the more power and spin it provides but the less control it provides.

Length

68,5 cm Length: This is the length of the racket from the bottom of the handle to the top of the head, measured in centimeters. The longer the racket, the more powerful it feels but the less maneuverable it is. Conversely, the shorter it is, the more maneuverable it is but the less powerful it feels.

Section

Section (in mm): 23/26/23.

FLAX TAPE 2.0

The new FLAX TAPE 2.0 is made of natural fibers aligned unidirectionally and without weaving for better impact feel.

HTR System

This system, which guarantees high torsional rigidity (High Torsional Rigidity, HTR), has been added to the frame composition to increase its rigidity, which provides a greater feeling of power and explosiveness.

SWX Pure Feel

New technology further implementing SMAC technology, a revolutionary anti-vibration system integrated into the composition of the racket, which provides exceptional sensations at the moment of impact and a unique sound with each strike.

Elliptic Frame

Elliptical section ensuring optimal resistance and overall rigidity for a greater feeling of power.

FSI Power Technology

A system that facilitates the interaction between the frame and the string. Combined with an open 16 x 19 string pattern and diamond eyelet shapes, this expands the centering area for a superior feeling of power.

Designed for expert players, this 300g tennis racket offers power and stability. Flax Tape 2.0 technology ensures enhanced feel with every impact.
