2015 Babolat Pure Drive Lite FSI 100inch 16*19 270g

As a power racquet, its construction emphasizes its intended style of play. The 100 in² head size boosts forgiveness and sweet spot size. A stiffness rating of 72 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 270 g, the frame favors maneuverability. The 16x19 string pattern (semi open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 100/100 for power, 80/100 for spin, and 40/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. Its characteristics suggest a higher potential for arm fatigue if paired with stiff strings. It is best suited for beginner intermediate players.

User comments for racquets with similar specifications highlight predictable on-court characteristics. A recurring theme is the potential for arm discomfort for sensitive players, depending on setup and hitting style. Overall, it is most often recommended by users for beginner intermediate players.
