New for 2006, the Babolat Pure Drive Roddick Plus is a slightly heavier update to the legendary Babolat Pure Drive Team Plus. Meant to more closely replicate the weight of Andy’s racquet, the Pure Drive Roddick Plus provides a little more stiffness and power (even more than the standard length Pure Dive Roddick), provided you are able to handle the additional weight and length. Still categorized as a tweener (between powerful/controlled), the Pure Drive Roddick Plus should retain its appeal to a wide array of players. Works well at the net (though not quite as maneuverable), as well as the baseline. Babolat also makes use of a new vibration dampening material called Cortex placed at the top of the handle and acts as an active dampener, without sacrificing feel.Racquet SpecificationsHeadsize: 100 sq. in.Length: 27.50 in.Weight (strung): 11.90 oz.Stiffness (Babolat RDC): 72Balance: 13.10 in.

An update to the legendary Babolat Pure Drive Team Plus, the new Pure Drive Plus w/ Cortex utilizes a vibration filter called Cortex at the top of the handle. Cortex is used in several of Babolat’s players racquets to enhance feel by cancelling only the 2 highest vibration frequencies.Only those frequencies that enhance feel are permitted to pass through the Cortex filter.Other than the addition of the Cortex filter (and a snazzy new paint scheme) Babolat has kept the specifications on this new Pure Drive Plus EXACTLY the same as the outgoing Pure Drive Team Plus. That is, the Pure Drive Plus w/ Cortex is not a traditional players racquet in the sense that it’s light, stiff, and fairly powerful.More effectively categorized as a tweener (between powerful/controlled), the Pure Drive Plus still appeals to a very wide array of players. One of a few racquets that works well at the net, as well as the baseline.Racquet SpecificationsHeadsize: 100 sq. in.Length: 27.50 in.Weight (strung): 11.2 oz.Stiffness (Babolat RDC): 73Balance: 13.19 in.

Product Description
The Pure Drive Plus has always been a huge hit with aggressive players seeking the utmost in spin and power. This GT version takes performance to a whole new level. Utilizing GT technology, the racquet feels more solid and comfortable thanks to the use of graphite/tungsten in its construction. With its extended length and maneuverable feel, this racquet is about as spin-friendly as they come. The added racquet length helps increase the tip speed of the racquet resulting in faster swings for more spin and power. With lots of bite from the stringbed, generating topspin is a snap. Hitting aggressively from inside the court turns approach shots into clean winners. At net the Pure Drive Plus GT offers a very clean feel. Targeting is precise and there is ample feel for touch and placement volleys. Overheads can be dispatched with lots of power with a simple wrist snap and the maneuverable feel helps the volleyer respond quickly.
