Babolat Pure Drive 98 2025

Originally the Pure Drive VS, the new Babolat Pure Drive 98 2025 is defined by its controllable power. In addition to offering the most compact and surgical head size in the Pure Drive family, this racquet gets updated with a tighter 16×20 string pattern, giving players the needed control to swing bigger when loading the ball with pace and spin.
For 2025, Babolat adds comfort with an updated version of NF2 Tech, a dampening technology that uses flax fibers in the throat to smooth out harsh vibrations. This model also inherits FSI Power from the previous generation, consisting of a bundle of technologies that enable the racquet to transfer more energy to the ball (think easy power). Other features include Babolats HTR System, a layup construction that stiffens the hoop in a way that not only enhances power but creates more stability. In addition to its enhanced dampening, the Babolat Pure Drive 98 2025 continues to offer an irresistible combination of speed, power, spin, and precision.
