Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Babolat Evo Drive Lite Gen2 tennis racket is a lightweight, manoeuvrable frame that gives controlled power and comfort. It suits intermediate to advanced players – and young players moving onto adult rackets – and its design is inspired by the Pure Drive Gen11. Supplied strung, in blue.
Key Features
- Lightweight and manoeuvrable – 255 grams (9 oz) for easy handling and quick responses in fast rallies.
- Controlled power – a graphite frame with an elliptical beam and a 16/17 string pattern increases the trampoline effect for powerful shots without losing control.
- Woofer System – improves string/frame interaction, extending ball contact time for precision and feel.
- Air Handle Touch (AHT) – absorbs vibration and shock to protect your joints and give a soft, comfortable grip from the first swing.
- Design – available in two colours, inspired by the Pure Drive Gen11.
Performance Overview
The Evo Drive Lite Gen2 pairs a 104 sq in head and open 16/17 pattern with a light 255g frame, so power and spin come easily while the racket stays quick through the air. AHT and the Woofer System keep the response comfortable and controlled.
Who Is It For?
Intermediate to advanced players who want lightweight power and comfort, and young players moving onto adult rackets.
