Our view of the 255g Pure Drive Superlite model:
At 255g weight and a 100 square inch head size, this is the perfect racket for juniors transitioning to a full-size adult racket. Nice user-friendly, ultra-lightweight racket. The lightest frame of all in the Gen 11 series of Pure Drive rackets.
Range Technology :
- Lower RA Stiffness: Improves comfort without sacrificing the powerful, connected feel.
- NF² Tech: Features flax fibres in the throat to dampen vibrations, delivering a smoother, more comfortable hitting experience.
- FSI Power: Maximizes energy transfer for effortless power and spin.
- HTR System: Reinforces the hoop to enhance stability and reduce frame wobble on off-centre hits, ensuring more control and consistency.
Our View of the Range:
The Pure Drive range is one of the classic racket ranges of all time. It has been through several re-designs over the years while maintaining the overall characteristics of the racket. The latest Gen 11 models are an improvement on the previous models because they have a softer feel with the flax fibres in the throat of the rackets, which makes them more arm-friendly. The other main difference is that the frames are less stiff, which again improves comfort without affecting the feel that better players demand in a racket.

Technology
NF2-TECH 2.0
Optimal filtration of vibration
New 2.0 natural flax fibres - 100% unidirectional linen fabric provides greater mechanical strength in the direction of the fibers resulting in optimal filtration of vibrations. Flax patches located in the racket's throat filter out negative sensations, ensuring comfort in your hand.
FSI Power
Power through synergistic technology
Frame String Interaction Power combines an open string pattern, diamond-shaped grommets and a Woofer system ensures a longer contact time between the ball and the strings, enhancing the energy return of the strings resulting in greater power and feel when you hit the ball.
Elliptic Frame Technology
Maximum energy return
The elliptical frame structure maximizes the energy return of the strings by optimizing stability at the racket's throat, delivering more power.
HTR System
Increased impact & energy return
The frame's composition includes the High Torsional Rigidity (HTR) system to increase impact stability and energy return.
