The Babolat Pure Drive Plus is the extended version (27,5 in.) of the very popular Pure Drive. The added length will provide more reach, more power and more spin. The slight loss of maneuverability will be offset by better stability at impact. This will bring greater accuracy and a more significant stroke weight. Updated with Babolat's new HTR System, the graphite layup has been re-engineered for higher torsional rigidity, resulting in more efficient energy transfer to the ball. To help soak up the harsher vibrations of this racquet's stiff construction, Babolat has devoted more real estate in the Pure Drive's shaft to SWX Pure Feel, a thin and extremely flexible viscoelastic rubber that sits between the carbon layers. This racquet still features the FSI technology, which tightens the 16x19 string pattern and accentuate control and precision. Like all Pure Drives, it offers easy access to spin. From the baseline, this racquet is very effective and can easily overwhelm the opponent by finding a wide variety of angles. This racquet is perfect for players of intermediate to advanced level who play aggressive tennis. Racquet model used by Fabio Fognini (ITA) Garbine Muguruza and (SPA), in the regular version.
