PURE DRIVE 30TH ANNIVERSARY

Babolat's DNA has always been to analyze changes in the game and offer the best solutions to the needs of tennis players to break trends and create new ones. In the '90s, tennis was dominated by control-oriented rackets with small heads and square frames, but Babolat created the Pure Drive in 1994. A tennis racket with a 645 cm² head and an elliptical section to generate power and change the game rules.

4 years later, Carlos Moyá won his 1st Grand Slam on clay with the now iconic Pure Drive. It was the first of many successes for this tennis racket at both the professional and amateur levels.

Today, the Pure Drive celebrates its 30th anniversary. 30 years of success, 30 years of power, 30 years of blue. To celebrate this iconic tennis racquet, Babolat has revisited one of the key elements of the Pure Drive. For 30 years, the color blue has been synonymous with power, versatility and modernity.

We've condensed all the blues since the first edition in 1994, using an innovative painting process to create a random pattern of blue tones.

The Pure Drive 30 Anniversary is designed for players looking for a powerful, versatile and maneuverable tennis racket. This versatile tennis racket will give you a unique feel with every shot, every winning shot and every victory, just as it has for 30 years.

Professional players on the BABOLAT team can play with a customized model or one that differs from the kit shown.
