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.
