Babolat New Pure Drive (Cortex) Standard Tennis Racquet – 1328

admin — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:48:22 +0000

An update to the legendary Babolat Pure Drive Team, the new Pure Drive w/ Cortex utilizes a vibration filter called Cortex at the top of the handle. Cortex is used in several of Babolat's players racquets to enhance feel by cancelling only the 2 highest vibration frequencies.Only those frequencies that enhance feel are permitted to pass through the Cortex filter. Other than the addition of the Cortex filter (and a snazzy new paint scheme) Babolat has kept the specifications on this new Pure Drive EXACTLY the same as the outgoing Pure Drive Team. That is, the Pure Drive w/ Cortex is not a traditional players racquet in the sense that it's light, stiff, and fairly powerful.More effectively categorized as a tweener (between powerful/controlled), the Pure Drive still appeals to a very wide array of players. One of a few racquets that works well at the net, as well as the baseline.Racquet SpecificationsHeadsize: 100 sq. in.Length: 27.00 in.Weight (strung): 11.3 oz.Stiffness (Babolat RDC): 71Balance: 12.99 in.
