The latest version of Babolat's most popular racquet.
The new GT Technology provides even
more stable control. The Cortex System filters out those
vibrations that interfere with feel, thus enhancing the feel for the
ball.
- Pure Drive GT - Solid playing, controllable, maneuverable racquets
for the
3.5 to 5.0 level player. Available in regular or extended
length.
The Pure Drive also available in a Anniversary edition to
celebrate Babolat's 135 years in the string and racquet business.
Used by Carlos Moya, Li Na, and Kim Clijsters
- Pure Drive Roddick - Same frame at the Pure Drive
but heavier and more head light for the harder swinging
player. A solid feeling Pure Drive with great spin control. Available in regular and extended length.
- Pure Drive Lite - A lighter and more powerful version of the Pure Drive. It has the same frame but is
over a half ounce lighter (10.5) and is balanced slightly more head
heavy. A solid feeling Pure Drive with a little more pop.

The AeroPro Drive has been
used by Rafael Nadal to win
umpteen titles. Used by Francesca Shiavone to win the 2010
French Open.
The GT is the latest 2010
version. Offers
great control, power, and accuracy. Plays very similar to the Pure Drive, but with a faster
swing for more power and spin. The aerodynamic frame give this racquet good
maneuverability and a
faster, more powerful swing.
- AeroPro Drive - used by Nadal, Shiavone. For 4.0 plus players.
Heavier for solid control but head light for excellent
maneuverability. Alos used by Tsonga and Wozniacki.
- AeroPro Drive Lite - the lightest and most powerful
version. Head heavy for good ball follow through and power.
Also see Babolat Y105 0r 109 below.
- AeroPro Drive Team - an ounce lighter than the
regular. Good power and maneuverability. Also see
Babolat Y105 below.

The new Y Series have excellent
control and stability with extra power. If you feel the above
Pure Drive does not have enough power, these are a better
choice. We hit with them and they are excellent racquets.
- Y105 - just a little extra power for a broad range of
intermediate players (3.0 to 4.5)
- Y109 - extra power for players with shorter strokes.

performance.
