The choice mainly depends on your personal preferences. However, I found it tiring after an hour of playing.

At times, it is nice to get that feedback when initially contacting the ball. The Aero Pure Drive is slightly more comfortable and features more flex when hitting the ball. The main differences though appear on the court. This comes with a disadvantage though, whereas the Pure Drive is a serving monster, the Pure Drive Aero is not as much. The Pure Drive Aero also features a slightly higher swingweight which makes the racket more powerful from the baseline. This means that this racket features a tighter pattern of strings in the sweet spot which gives the control over ball placement that this racket is known for. The Babolat Pure Drive also features frame string interaction technology. In fact, players have been universally praising this latest version for it’s feel when hitting the ball. In the past, players have complained about previous versions of this racket because of its harsh feel but in this latest version this appears to have been fixed. It also uses polyester strings which provide a somewhat muted feel to the player. With a 16×19 pattern, the Pure Drive has a relatively open string pattern. This allows players to easily maneuver the head of the racket so that they can easily hit balls from any angle. The weight is distributed more towards the handle with a distribution of 4 points Head light. The Babolat Pure Drive clocks in at 11.2 ounces which is the perfect mix between a light enough weight to swing easily and still being heavy enough to hit the ball with some power. The head of the racket gives you enough control to have your opponent racing from sideline to sideline chasing after the ball. On this tennis racket, the head size is perfectly suited to it’s style of play. Personally, I prefer rackets around this head size because I think that controlling where your shot goes is more important than simply blasting the ball. As always, the larger the head size the more area you have to hit the ball with but that comes at the downside of control. Head Sizeįeaturing a head size of 100 sq inches, the Pure Drive has a perfect mix between control and power. This also reduces the strain on your wrist when you play. The Babolat Pure Drive is 21mm thick at the top and bottom of the frame but 23mm thick in the middle. To that end, the Babolat Pure Drive has an elliptic head shape which gives you the maximum head size and shape for control and power. DesignĪs mentioned earlier, Babolat designed this racquet from the ground up to appeal to all types of players. See more about the Babolat Pure Drive and it’s exact specifications below. I think beginners can just as easily benefit from the control and ball placement that the Babolat Pure Drive offers players. However, I don’t like to classify this tennis racket as just for pros.

For this reason, many professional tennis players in the ATP and WTA(Womens Tennis Association) prefer to use the Babolat Pure Drive for their tournaments. The Babolat Pure Drive tennis racket particularly excels for people who like to play at the baseline and dictate the pace of play. It only took me a short half hour(!) to adjust to playing with the Pure Drive before I was slamming shots back over the net with ease. After playing with this racket for a couple of hours, I certainly believe them.

And it would.īabolat claims the Pure Drive is one of the easiest racquets to use that they produce. It was like I could just point to a location on the court and say “ Tennis Ball go there!”. While the head size of 100 inches was actually larger than I’m used to(I usually play with a 98 sq inch head size), I was controlling the placement of every tennis ball that I hit with uncanny accuracy. As I got through my first few swings of warmup, the Babolat Pure Drive instantly took me by surprise.

Weighing in a medium weight of 11.3 ounces, this racket felt light yet strong in my hands as I stood on the baseline. The most important aspect of any racket is how it feels on the court.
