Babolat Pure Drive Lite (2025) Tennis Racquet
Explosive Power
The racket specifically designed for players who want to give their game more power and versatility.
The 11th generation of the iconic Pure Drive offers enhanced explosivity and feel.
The 2025 model features reduced RA stiffness for added comfort without sacrificing the powerful, connected feel that players love. Enhanced with NF2 Tech, it incorporates flax fibers in the throat to minimize vibrations, boosting comfort. It also retains FSI Power technology, ensuring efficient energy transfer for effortless power. Additionally, the HTR System provides a stiffer hoop for improved power, stability, and reduced frame wobble on off-center hits. For those seeking a fast racquet with easy access to power and spin, the Pure Drive remains one of the best options, with the added bonus of increased comfort in this generation.
The Pure Drive Lite is recommended for intermediate to advanced players*, wanting the benefits of the Pure Drive but physically cannot tolerate a heavier frame.
*Main categories of players includes juniors aged 11+ moving up in weight from the Super-Lite and intermediate to advanced adult females.
