Babolat Pure Drive Lite (Gen 11)

Considered to be the most popular and widely used racquet over the last 30+ years, the Babolat Pure Drive 2025 Generation 11 line of racquets carries on a long line of racquet excellency.  The Pure Drive Lite is one of the best racquets for kids transitioning to their first adult racquet.  It's light weight, easy to swing, and offers all the power that the Pure Drive has been known for.  It's also great for adults that have difficulty generating power on their own and need something light and easy to swing.  

For 2025, Babolat lowered the stiffness which translates to improved comfort, but without compromising the powerful feel that this racquet has been known for.  An updated version of the NF2 Tech dampens the throat to smooth out any harsh vibrations.  As with most Babolat racquets, the FSI Power tech helps the racquet transfer more ball energy for greater access to effortless power.  Lastly, a layup construction called the HTR System, stiffens the goop that enhances power and creates more stability and less wobble on off-center hits.
