Pure Drive 30th Anniversary Unstrung No Cover

Description

Babolat has always been at the forefront of tennis innovation, providing the best solutions for players’ needs and setting new trends. In the 90s, the game was dominated by control-oriented rackets with small heads and square frames. However, in 1994, Babolat introduced the Pure Drive—a tennis racket with a 645cm² head size and an elliptical shape designed to enhance power and change the rules of the game.

Four years later, Carlos Moya clinched his first Grand Slam victory on clay with the Pure Drive, which has since become iconic. It was the first of many successes for this racket at both professional and amateur levels.

Today, Pure Drive celebrates 30 years of success, power, and its signature blue. To commemorate this iconic tennis racket, Babolat has revisited one of Pure Drive’s key elements. The blue has symbolized strength, versatility, and modernity for three decades.

We’ve blended every shade of blue from the original 1994 version, using an innovative painting process to create a random design with various shades of blue.

The 30th-anniversary Pure Drive is designed for players seeking a powerful, versatile, and easy-to-handle tennis racket. This all-around racket will give you a unique feel with every stroke, every winning shot, and every victory, just as it has for 30 years.

Professional athletes from TEAM BABOLAT may play with a customized or different model than the equipment displayed.
