Babolat Pure Drive 107 (2025)

Updated with enhanced vibration dampening for 2025, the Pure Drive 107 specializes in effortless power. With its light weight, forgiving head size, and generous margin of error, this racquet makes it easy for beginners and early intermediate players to address the ball with confidence. It’s also a great option for the aging doubles veteran looking for big power on serves and lightning speed at net. For 2025, Babolat ups the comfort with an updated version of NF 2.0 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, this update to the Pure Drive 107 keeps a good thing going. Players looking for user-friendly speed and ultra-easy access to power will not be disappointed. The enhanced vibration dampening for 2025 is a nice touch.
