Babolat Pure Drive 110 Tennis Racquet (Model #101344)
BABOLAT PURE DRIVE 110 PERFORMANCE TENNIS RACKET - THE BEST RACQUETS FOR SPIN, CONTROL, AND POWER
The Babolat Pure Drive 110 is the ‘best of all worlds’, as it is the perfect combination of power, speed, and spin. This amazing balance, along with its beautiful cosmetics, have made this high performance tennis racquet frame one of the most ubiquitous player's sticks around - you see them *everywhere* - and for very good reason.
In the hands of the beginner to intermediate to player, the Pure Drive 110's lightweight 9.6 ounce strung weight is extremely maneuverable on volleys, serves, and baseline shots, and requires less movement to get plenty of pop. The 110 square inch head,16x19 spin-friendly string pattern, 3 point head light balance, and 0.6 inches of extra length on the frame lend themselves to competent doubles players who like to attack at the net, create a little spin for returns that end up at the feet of your opponents, and do not have to swing on their volleys (no swinging on your volleys! Punch, punch, punch - like a jab of a boxer).
The slightly thicker beam at 24mm/26.5mm/23.5mm and stiff frame (69 points) are perfect for creating extra energy return from frame to ball, which helps preserve your arm strength and energy when going deep into the 2nd and 3rd sets. The extra power also helps to overwhelm your opponents at net and on serve and returns as well. It is quite possibly the best racquet for doubles players ever made.
The frame is also packed to the gills with technologies that we will explore, in-depth, below.
Suited for players with compact-medium strokes.

Pure Drive Technologies:
 | WOOFER DYNAMIC STRING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY: The Woofer Dynamic String System allows all of the strings to work together during a ball strike, as opposed to non-Woofer frames that only utilize a few of the strings on contact. The result is more spin, increased sweetspot size and forgiveness on off-centered shots. |
 | ADVANCED FRAME SHAPE TECHNOLOGY: A technologically advanced frame shape keeps this stick from bending, twisting, and torsional flexing. The result is a stiffer frame with exceptional power return and added precision, even on bit cuts at the ball. |
 | WIDER CROSS STRINGS WITH DIAMOND SHAPED GROMMET HOLES: The wider spacing between cross strings allows for more snapback, and thus, increased power. The revolutionary diamond shape of the grommet holes allows for an increased range of string movement. This results in more power and comfort. |
 | CORTEX PURE FEEL: A viscoelastic rubber layer is applied in between carbon layers, resulting in amazing vibration and shock absorption. |
