DESCRIPTION

Babolat's DNA has always been to analyse changes in the game and to provide the best solutions to tennis players' needs in order to buck trends and create new ones. In the 90s, tennis was dominated by control-oriented rackets with small heads and square frames, but Babolat created the Pure Drive in 1994. A tennis racket with a 645cm² headsize and an elliptical section to generate power and change the rules of the game. 4 years later, Carlos Moya won his 1st Grand Slam on clay with the now iconic Pure Drive. It was the first of many successes for this tennis racket at both professional and amateur level. Today, the Pure Drive is celebrating its 30th anniversary. 30 years of success, 30 years of power, 30 years of blue To celebrate this iconic tennis racket, Babolat has revisited one of the key elements of the Pure Drive. The blue colour has been the hallmark of power, versatility and modernity for 30 years. We've condensed every blue since the first edition in 1994, using an innovative painting process to create a random design of shades of blue. The Pure Drive 30th Anniversary is designed for players looking for a powerful, versatile and manoeuvrable tennis racket. This all-round tennis racket will give you a unique feeling with every strike, every winning shot and every victory, just as it has done for 30 years.pro players from the BABOLAT team can play with a customised model or one that differs from the equipment shown.

BENEFITS

POWER

Do you want more power? Then look no further. Whatever your level of play, power is what makes this racquet so iconic. Not only is it widely used on the circuit, its versatility has made it one of the best-selling racquets of all time, synonymous with power for all types of players.

EXPLOSIVE

Would you like a little extra oomph when the going gets tough? Explosivity is the answer. When the intensity goes up a notch, you can rely on your racquet to do exactly what you want it to do: to make a killer shot, even on an off-center hit. We developed a new racquet construction specifically for this purpose: to put a smile on your face and to make your opponent wince.

SENSATIONS

Do you need greater feel? Feel the difference. Yes, feel is important, even with a frame designed for power. Obviously, if you can't control your shots, power is useless. Get ready for a new experience that you'll not only feel, but also hear, with a unique sound at impact.
