For 2016, Babolat is launching 4 racket families and 4 Babolat PLAY models with which the French brand wants to serve every tennis player. New is the Pure Aero line, the successor to the iconic Aeropro Drive line. In addition, Babolat will launch Babolat POP, the interactive tennis wristband, in mid-January.
PLAY The crème de la crème of Babolat are the rackets with
PLAY technology . These 'connected' tennis rackets measure, among other things, ball speed, spin/slice and hitting zone of the ball on your head. This PLAY technology is integrated into the rackets below. However, these frames have a price tag ranging between 299.99 euros and 349.99 euros.
- Babolat PLAY Pure Drive V1: 100 sq/inch, 300 grams, 32.0 balance and 16/19 stringing pattern. This is the first version of the PLAY Pure Drive. This is still only available to a limited extent

POP From mid-January 2016, Babolat will delight us with the Babolat POP , an interactive tennis sensor in the form of a wristband with many features that are also included in Babolat PLAY. With Babolat POP you can measure your swing speed, number of strokes (forehands, backhands, serves and volleys) and spin/slice. With the accompanying application you can then challenge your tennis buddies to a challenge and measure your arsenal of shots, for example, with the greats such as Rafa Nadal and Eugenie Bouchard. The Babolat POP will be available in our webshop from mid/end of January for 89.99 euros. A full review of Babolat POP will follow soon.
