30 Years of Power. One Iconic Blue.
Babolat’s legacy is built on redefining the game — and in 1994, the Pure Drive did just that. At a time when tennis was dominated by small, control-oriented racquets, Babolat introduced a new way to play: a 645 cm² head size, elliptical beam, and raw power that changed the rules of modern tennis.
Just four years later, Carlos Moya captured his first Grand Slam title on clay with the Pure Drive, igniting a winning legacy that continues to this day — across club courts and center courts alike.
Now, in 2024, the Pure Drive celebrates its 30th anniversary with a limited-edition design that pays tribute to its unmistakable DNA. Every version of blue used since 1994 has been fused into a randomized shade pattern using an innovative painting process, making each racquet visually unique — but unmistakably Pure Drive.
This racquet is made for players who seek power, versatility, and unmatched feel — from the baseline to the net, and every winning point in between.
Note: Team BABOLAT pro players may use customized or different models than those depicted.
