The latest update to the legendary Babolat Pure Drive, the new Pure Drive Lite GT (Graphite Tungsten) adds a hybrid of braided carbon fibers and tungsten filaments throughout the entire racquet. Tungsten strengthens the frame to reduce torque for greater precision (Babolat claims 26% more precision compared to the previous Pure Drive). Babolat continues to utilize the Cortex vibration filter at the top of the handle. Cortex is used in several of Babolat's players racquets to enhance feel by cancelling only the 2 highest vibration frequencies. Only those frequencies that enhance feel are permitted to pass through the Cortex filter.
Babolat has kept the specifications on the new Pure Drive Light GT in between the Pure Drive GT and the Drive Z-Lite in terms of weight. Fills the niche in the Babolat line previously owned by the Drive Z Tour. The Pure Drive Lite GT would be a great option for a player not quite ready for the weight of the Pure Drive GT, but requires the playability provided by its tweener (between powerful/controlled) design. 100 sq. in. head, 10.60 ounce strung weight, and 293 swingweight provide an excellent balance of power, control, and maneuverability.
