Updated with enhanced dampening for 2025, the Pure Drive Lite remains the perfect entry point into the world of aggressive tennis
With the 2025 Pure Drive Super Lite, Babolat delivers an easy learning curve to dedicated beginners, early intermediates, and juniors. Like previous versions, this racquet puts the speed, power, and spin of the standard Pure Drive into a lighter, more user-friendly package. On virtually every stroke, this racquet's maneuverability and easy targeting translate into confidence. For 2025, Babolat adds comfort with an updated version of NF2 Tech, a dampening technology that uses flax fibers in the throat and head to smooth out harsh vibrations (a welcome feature, considering the stiff beam). This model also inherits FSI Power from the previous generation, consisting of a bundle of technologies that enable the racquet to transfer more energy to the ball (think easy power). Other features include Babolat’s HTR System, a layup strategy that stiffens the hoop to further enhance power. Ultimately, with some nice updates to the comfort, the 2025 Pure Drive Super Lite checks all the right boxes. Rising players looking to develop into aggressive ball strikers will find this one perfect.
