The Babolat Pure Drive is the signature frame in the Babolat family of racquets. So it's not surprising that the company would put out various versions, each with subtle differences, to appeal to the widest audience. The Babolat Pure Drive GT 107 is perhaps the definition of a tweener racquet. It's longer, lighter and has a bigger face than the standard Pure Drive, but is shorter, heavier and has a smaller head than the oversized. It's designed for players who desire a little more pop and bigger sweet spot than the standard offers, but find the oversize too light and powerful. And according to our playtesters, the Pure Drive 107 is indeed a nice compromise. The extra surface area was appreciated by those looking for more juice on their strokes, yet they didn't feel it was a detriment to control. Whether at the baseline or net, most found a predictably solid and stable response from their shots. Players who favor topspin were particularly happy with the frame, while those who hit a flatter ball thought the Pure Drive 107 to be a bit overly powerful and tough to control.
A good all-around racquet that should appeal to a wide range of playing styles and ability levels.

The new Pure Drive 107 has better balance than the previous model and is also lighter and stiffer. The perfect balance between power and precision remains the same throughout all Pure Drive models.

The Pure Drive GT 107 offers all the same benefits as the Pure Drive GT with the added benefit of an oversized 107in. head, more power and a larger sweet spot. Pure power with better feel!. The Pure Drive GT 107 continues to feature Babolat's vibration dampening system "Cortex". Also incorporated in all of the new GT line of racquets is the addition of GT (Graphite Tungsten) adding a hybrid of braided carbon fibers and tungsten filaments throughout the entire racquet. Tungsten strengthens the frame to reduce torque for greater precision

Cortex System is the first technology customized to filter different vibrations. For competitive players, Cortex filters vibrations for purer feel of the ball. For club players, Cortex gives maximum comfort when hitting. Interface between the handle and the frame: These two parts of the racquet are actively linked by the CDS (Cortex Dampening System) which filters and dampens the vibrations interfering with feel, to enhance the feel of the ball.
