The Birth of an Icon

The Pure Drive was the first racket launched by Babolat in 1994. With its debut, it immediately offered players an unprecedented combination of power and control, quickly becoming a point of reference in the market. But his success also came thanks to Carlos Moya who adopted one of the very first Pure Drives, won over by the way it allowed him to hit with great power on very short backswings, winning a Grand Slam within four years. The DNA of the racket has remained the same, and anyone who has played with a Pure Drive in the last 30 years will recognize the basic characteristics even in the new model.

30 years of innovations

As befits the evolution of a racket launched in 1994, the fundamental elements that players have come to associate with the Pure Drive are all present, but technological advances have allowed Babolat to make significant improvements to the product, enriching the new Pure Drive of unprecedented explosiveness, retaining all the power of the iconic blue frame. The 30 YO is no exception, offering improved stability and explosive response, and maintaining unchanged that feeling of power and control that has made millions of players fall in love, as well as its iconic colors.

Unique design and features

The PURE DRIVE 30 YO stands out for its modern and unique design, with shades of blue that pay homage to its roots. The processing that generates the shaded effect is not printed and replicated identically on each frame, therefore each racket is unique thanks to its color variations. A limited edition that will allow you to celebrate 30 years of the most iconic racket ever with all Pure Drivers and tennis lovers. It weighs 300 gr and has a balance of 320 mm, features that offer exceptional handling and controlled power. The unique 16x19 stringing pattern promises winning shots with surprising ease.

From professionals such as Carlos Moya, Kim Clijsters, Fabio Fognini and Garbiñe Muguruza, to the highest level coaches, his performances have helped win titles and make dreams come true, testament to his timeless quality.
