Today, I am going to talk about the Babolat Pure drive tour
Specs:
100 sq in head size
315 unstrung
Strung weight app. 350
Stiffness: 70
16 X 19 String pattern
This racket replaces the Pure drive Roddick, which I used to use before this racket.
I really like this racket, because it fits my game and style.
For couple of years, I have tried multiple rackets, but I still can't find a racket that fits my game like this.
I am an aggressive baseliner with a big serve who doesn't enjoy moving up to the net
With this racket, I can be more aggressive and take control of my opponent.
I can hit a huge first serve, and I can add a lot of spin to my second serve.
For ground strokes, I can hit huge balls with controls. I am able to do this because of the power and the spin that I can get from this racket.
Without the topspin from this racket, I will definitely hit the ball out.
For volleys, I could finish the point, but I would not volley often, because of the lack of feel. I could not control my volley finely, but it did not effect me anyways because I'm a baseliner.
Very strong on returns. The racket was very solid even when I was returning strong serve.
The only downside for this racket is the feel and comfort. To get used to the feel, had to use half multfilament/ half poly when I started using this racket
Thanks for reading this post, and I hope that you enjoyed reading this.
