After a match, I don't get the tired sense in the arm (I'm 55+). Length is 27.5", but it feels fairly quick and maneuverable. My ground game is much better as well.Ĭomments: Just bought this after a demo. I have a long reach and opted for the longer racquet as I am used to playing with more length. It is very balanced regarding weight, grip, and swing. Really liked this racquet out of the other 2 I tried.
Too bad they discontinued the Pure Drive Tour Plus, guess I will wait for the Pure Aero Plus refresh next year.Ĭomments: This is my first big boy racquet, and overall I'm very happy to be playing a Pure Drive!Ĭomments: Loved the demo process. I tried a few different string set ups, but control on my ground strokes just wasn't there for me. I also couldn't tap into that raw power on the serve that I get from my Roddick frames. I really like the Pure Aero Plus, but found this one difficult to control and the feel was really off from prior versions of this racquet. At age 73, I am in love this racquet.įrom: Stephen, Herrin, Illinois USA 8/6/21Ĭomments: I needed to replace my 2010 Roddick Plus racquets that are about dead, so I demoed this racquet earlier this year when they announced there would be no Pure Drive Tour Plus. It makes me anxious to hit the ball again. The feel in this racquet when I make my shot is inspiring. This racquet has brought me back to a much better performance place in my game. The slightly longer reach has brought me back into the game of tennis. What I heard was just the information I needed to make my decision. Really enjoying the stick! I sized down to 4 1/4 because the Babolat grips run large, so I got a 4 1/4 (2) instead of my usual 4 3/8th's.Ĭomments: I am truly glad I watched the video that Tennis Warehouse did on the Babolat Pure Drive Plus 2021. Volleys are a breeze and my overheads are dangerous. Really fun stick to hit with and I still get enough touch for drop shots and drop volleys. I added some lead tape at 12, 3 & 9 o'clock and it bombs serves with pace and makes my forehand more of a weapon. This Pure Drive Plus doesn't hurt my elbow or shoulder like some of the prior versions of the Pure Strike. This stick takes about ten years off my game.
I have tried virtually every racquet out there. This stick is amazing!Ĭomments: I am a 64 year old tennis player.
Lot's of control and power.Ĭomments: Playing like my 20's again. The ball stays in the court which force's errors from my tennis opponents and Hitting winners is so easy with this tennis racquet.Comments: Huge improvement from my previous Babolat Pure Aero 2013. But, the accuracy of this tennis frame is outstanding. If you are a serious doubles tennis player who competes in tournaments or leagues, the Babolat Pure Drive Lite racquet will produce some positive results. Definitely worth the purchase if you are in the market for a tennis racquet. Best tennis racquet on the market in my opinion.
But remember to commit to this "light" racquet for at least 1-2 weeks to realize full potential.Ĭomments: The Babolat Pure Drive Lite version is a tennis machine from my experience. Almost never double fault? Strung with 19 gauge Solinco Hyer G at 52-53 lbs range.
Improved serve return and serve speed/accuracy most noticeable with this racquet. More importantly, it stands up to the pace of more advanced players. As well as unsurpassed stability for a light racquet. I agree with comments below - keeps the ball in play with excellent accuracy (& spin!). My groundstrokes, volleys, and serve have improved. Typically, I don't favor light racquets due to poor stability. Comments: Best Babolat Pure Drive Lite ever! I demo "everything"every year.
