Babolat’s Pure Drive 98 Gen11 Tennis racket gives you the power and precision you need to destroy opponents with your power on the court.
Featuring new dimensions, a smaller head, and novel 16 x 20 string pattern, this frame offers greater stability and precision with each strike. The result is a never-before-seen concentration of power, an exceptional feel, and an optimum sound at impact on each stroke.
NF² Tech 2.0: A new version 2.0 of natural linen fibres. This new 100% unidirectional linen fabric offers greater mechanical strength in the direction of the fibers and optimal filtration of vibrations. These are in the throat of the racket to filter and to let only the good feelings through to the hand.
HTR System: A new lay-up composition for an improved High Torsional Rigidity to yield unseen explosivity, especially on powerful shots played at high intensity.
FSI Power Technology: Advanced frame-string interaction system with an open string pattern and optimized diamond grommets for a larger sweet spot and maximum power for all players.
Elliptic Frame: Elliptical frame structure with optimal resistance and overall rigidity for phenomenal power.
*This Babolat racket comes factory strung inclusive in the price.
However, customised string selection and tension requests are available once this racket is added to the cart. Simply select your string and we will do the rest! Or if you do not wish to have your racket custom strung (receive ‘as is’ strung with factory strings) just click the ‘NO THANKS’ tab.
As a guide only, please allow for 3 – 5 working days for custom stringing to be completed.
