The Pure Drive GT is offered in a new vibrant blue color and combines the comfort of the Cortex system with the versatile power of GT technology for enhanced feel and increased power. Graphite and tungsten added to the frame provides a crisper, more solid response.

Once again, the revolutionary player's racquet has upped the ante. A powerful, maneuverable racquet - ideal for all competitors.

GT Technology: Graphite Tungsten Technology is a hybrid material containing braided carbon fibers and tungsten filaments throughout the entire racquet. This customized performance booster improves racquet performance based on the concentration of Tungsten fibers at various strategic parts of the frame. The main benefit is increased power and versatility. A value added aspect of GT technology is that the added concentration of Tungsten in the head of the racquet strengthens the frame (up to 26% more than the previous Pure Drive) to reduce torque and increase precision.

Play Tester- Well I've got to hand it to babolat, they really did make a great racquet. I really tried hard to find something to say about this racquet, and it took me a long time to decided that it fits modern tennis very well, but it did seem to fight against certain shots. My slice backhand seemed to be inconsistent and even more my two handed backhand had nothing behind it. So if you want to control this racquet you will have to control it with spin and fast swings.
