This is still the racket by which all others are judged...in our opinion, this racket has a more solid, stable feel than previous models and is fantastic for vibration dampening. STILL one of the best balances of power and control you can get, this racket offers something for the serious enthusiast and serious tournament player alike. This is the latest incarnation of the best selling racket over the last 10 years. This time around, more Tungsten in the head for added stability and an improved Cortex System.
The Technology:
GT (Graphite Tungsten) Technology: Tungsten fibres are combined with graphite at strategic parts of the racket to improve stability and control and feel.
In the Pure Drive Range, there is a higher concentration of Tungsten in the head of the racket to reduce torque and improve precision.

The Cortex System: Thanks to a new type of construction and a CDS (Cortex Damping System) interface, the latest edition of our active Cortex technology ensures the perfect transmission of information to the hand so players can get an incomparable feel for the ball, with greater power and control on each hit.
The Cortex system still filters out harmful vibrations, the Tungsten content adds to the feel.

This racket comes factory prestrung in Babolat Xcel at a medium tension. Why not treat yourself to a stringing upgrade with one of the premium Babolat strings that we have specially selected. (do not forget to pick your tension):
