Players who crave Pure Drive power but want a lighter, more mobile response will find it with the Pure Drive Lite. This
2012 version
gets improved feel from the updated Cortex system. The Cortex Active Technology, Babolat says, better filters vibrations
to enhance
ball feel. Players can swing fast with the Pure Drive Lite, and the result is power paired with easy access to spin. At net,
our TW
testers found the quick response beneficial on reaction volleys and quick exchanges during doubles play. The testers
continued to
find the 16x19 string pattern to offer a lively, spin-friendly feel on serve. This versatile offering is a great choice for
smaller adults
and competitive juniors who are transitioning into standard length adult racquets. At 10.3 ounces strung, there's plenty of
room to
customize for stronger players. In stock form, this racquet is a great choice for any player looking for signature Pure Drive
power in a
more maneuverable package. Note: Due to racquet stiffness, when stringing with a
polyester or a co-polyester we highly suggest
54lbs as a starting point for tension.
FREE Addiction or Hurricane Feel strings!
