Babolat Pure Drive Team (2025) review: the lighter safe default

Mad for gears · 2026-07-01

Setup: RPM @ 53. The safe default, decaffeinated.

- Ease: everything the Pure Drive promises at 285 g
- Power: still free, still everywhere
- Third set: noticeably fresher arms. that is the entire pitch
- Ceiling: same as every Team frame. you may outgrow it

Buy if: juniors moving up, or the 300 g version tires you.
Skip if: you never fade late. buy the real one.
