One of the game's most legendary racquets turns 30
In celebration of the game's most iconic modern player's racquet, Babolat releases a very special 30th Anniversary edition of the Pure Drive. With its explosive spec profile and easy learning curve, the Pure Drive remains in a class by itself. Technologies include Babolat's HTR System, which increases the beam's torsional rigidity for more efficient energy transfer to the ball (think stability and power). To help with vibration dampening, Babolat has devoted more space in the shaft to SWX Pure Feel, a thin and extremely flexible viscoelastic rubber that sits between the racquet's carbon layers. Additional features include FSI Power Technology, which optimizes the grommet system and string spacing for higher levels of power and spin.
On the court, this racquet's explosive acceleration, easy power and spin-friendly targeting make it dangerous in the hands of an aggressive baseliner. It also packs impressive all-court mobility, making it great for charging into the front court and finishing points at net. A must-have for collectors, this 30th Anniversary edition of the Pure Drive offers the legendary speed, spin and power that has attracted generations of players.

Great RacketI've used the Pure Drive for about 5 years now, and I can confidentially say that this racquet is just as good as all its other variants. It feels perfectly balanced when I use it and like I have more control over the motion of my swing than before. I highly recommend this racquet to someone who prefers a heavier racquet in general.
great tennis racketThis tennis racquet is a difference in my game. It was very little if any vibration, especially when hitting hard or accidentally when hitting the ball with the frame and it plays really really well. The size was perfect for me and I consider myself to be an aggressive player who has been playing tennis a better part of my life

Love love love this tacquet.....Love love love this racquet. Let me preface this saying I have 2018 and 2021 Pure Drive 110 racquets. Both racquets are fantastic with lots of power. However I was wanting something that had more control which is why I bought the PD 30th Anniversary which has a 100 inch square head. This racquet has the same specs as the PD 2021 racquet and hits the same as PD 2021 racquet. I traded my Pure Strike racquet in because that frame had too much flex and not a good fit for me. Besides the additional control I got, for me it was a novelty thing to get the PD 30th Anniversary racquet since I am such a huge fan. The fact that Babolat combine all of the paint schemes of previous models of PD was selling point for me as well.

Good QualityThis product has good quality. However, I think it might be too stiff for a new beginner. Probably the string is more important.

Quality Racquet and Quality CoachOur grandson Charlie started to play tennis in his freshman year in high school. As we watched him play we realized he had talent. It was obvious that he could calculate moves and angles in his head. His parents decided he should take private lessons and we, as his grandparents decided to buy him the best quality Tennis Racquet we could afford. The Babolat Pure Drive 30th Anniversary Racquet was suggested by his private coach. We are thrilled with his progress.
