The Babolat Pure Drive 98 Gen11 tennis racket (Metallic Blue/Midnight Blue – 101551) is built for aggressive players who want precision and power. A smaller head, tighter string pattern and Babolat’s latest technologies give accuracy and feel on every stroke, in a metallic blue finish with red accents.
Key Features
- Compact head for precision – the 630 cm² (98 in²) head and 16/20 string pattern give more stability and control for precise, powerful shots.
- NF²-TECH 2.0 – natural flax fibres in the throat and frame filter vibration and improve comfort, for a crisp feel on impact.
- FSI Power Technology – an open string pattern, diamond-shaped grommets and the Woofer system increase the trampoline effect for more power and feel.
- Elliptic frame technology – improves stability at the throat for energy return and consistency on off-centre hits.
- HTR System (High Torsional Rigidity) – strengthens the frame for torsional stability and energy return on aggressive swings.
- Modern design – metallic blue with red accents.
