Babolat Pure Drive is the Nicest Racket I Have Ever Used. EVER. Brilliant For Players Who Have A Big Serve, Brilliant Control On The Ground Strokes With A Good Amount Of Power And Spin Available Really Easily. Racket Is Best For People With A Medium Or Fast Swing Speed On The Ground Strokes. Good For Volleys As It Is Easy To Manoeuvre While At The Net. The Weight Of The Racket Feels Great In The Hand.
The Strings It Comes Pre-Strung With Are Good Solid Strings As You Would Expect From Babolat, But For An Ever Bigger Improvement In Your Game And A Longer Lasting String, I Would Recommend Stringing The Mains With Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour (Last On Average For 10,000 Hits) And The Crosses With Babolat Xcel Power At 62lbs Of Tension. This String Setup Will Give Great Durability, And Because Of The Tighter Strings You Will Have Great Control And A Really Lively Racket. Stringing With This Setup Will Also Be Better Financially As I Found Out From Personal Experperiance, I'm Currently 17 I Either Coach Or Play Everyday And With Standard Strings I Can Go Through Anything Up To 4,5 or even 6 Sets Of Strings A Month. That String Setup Has Lasted Me 6 Months So Far And Still Going, And To Give You An Idea Of The Resilience, I Serve At Around 110-125mph And Am A Power Player Mainly But With The Touches As Well And This Racket And String Setup Really Excel With The Deft Touches Too. Of Course String Preference Is On Personal Preference But Trust Me This Racket With The Strings I Have Mentioned Will Greatly Improve Your Game.

The Babolat Pure Drive Roddick is the best raquet I ever held, changed my game completely - I'm murderin mans now haha. Likes to hit hard
Great for players who cant generate their own power
Forces you to play hard. Plays better with Babolat tour strings IMO.
