The all-rounder from Babolat gets the look and feel of Wimbledon! This Babolat Pure Drive Wimbledon 2016 is available in a limited edition. First of all, everything you want/need to know about the Pure Drive itself. Brand: Babolat Model: Pure Drive Wimbledon 2016 Head size: 100 sq/inch Weight: 300 gr Balance: 32.0 cm Stringing pattern: 16/19 Length: 27 inch RA: 72 
Previously jokingly called the 'Copa Mundial' (after Adidas' iconic football shoe that is still in the collection) among tennis rackets, the Babolat Pure Drive has had an excellent update. The well-known specifications have of course remained: the 100 sq/inch head size, 300 grams, a 32.0 balance point and a 16/19 stringing pattern. However, in addition to the paint layer, there are a number of novelties to this racket:
- 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.
Babolat Pure Drive: a fantastic blend of power, control and comfort . The above updates make the Babolat Pure Drive Wimbledon 2016 a fantastic blend of power, control and comfort. The high stiffness (RA value of 72) and the round housing of the shaft provide the power. The Tungsten material used around the heart of the frame ensures that the racket twists less quickly, provides control and the Active Cortex built-in damper, Woofer and FSI technology contribute to extra comfort. The Babolat Pure Drive Wimbledon 2016 is now (temporarily) available in our webshop!
