- Rearrangement of the string bed: the stringing pattern of 16 length strings and 19 width strings has remained the same, but the string density of the new Babolat Pure Drive has changed compared to the Babolat Pure Drive 2012. Based on data collected from the PLAY version of the Pure Drive, it turned out that the ideal hitting zone (sweet spot) for Pure Drive players is slightly higher than in the middle of the blade. In this 'new sweet spot' the string density is slightly higher for extra feel and control
- FSI technology: Frame String Interaction, as FSI is fully called, ensures more interaction between racket and string by placing special inserts on the outside of the racket at 3 and 9 o'clock, resulting in a longer ball-string contact moment for more spin and a softer feel. This technology is an addition to the well-known Woofer technology in which the strings do not lie flat in the frame, but over curves, which fractionally extends the moment of contact with the ball.
