Overview
Babolat’s current US product page identifies this model as the Pure Drive Gen11 Unstrung. The cited page publishes its 100-square-inch head size, 27-inch length, 300 g +/- 7 g unstrung weight, 320 mm +/- 7 mm unstrung balance, and 16/19 stringing pattern.
Construction and context
Babolat lists Graphite as the composition and identifies this listing as unstrung. The source also names the 23/26/23 section and its own HTR System terminology. Those are manufacturer-published configuration and technology terms; this record does not recast them as independently established playing effects.
Who it may suit
This entry can help a shopper identify this exact 100-square-inch, 300 g unstrung Pure Drive configuration and compare its stated dimensions, string layout, stiffness field, and tension range with other catalogued frames. It does not determine individual fit, comfort, timing, or playing outcome.
Specifications in context
- 300 g +/- 7 g unstrung; 320 mm +/- 7 mm unstrung
- These are Babolat’s published unstrung measurements with stated tolerances, useful for catalogue comparison rather than as a measurement of every unit.
- 16/19 stringing pattern
- This identifies the source-listed string layout; it does not by itself establish spin, control, durability, or suitability.
Tradeoffs and caveats
- Babolat states a +/- 7 g tolerance for unstrung weight and balance, so individual frames may vary within the published tolerance.
- The listed unstrung weight and balance do not describe a finished racquet after strings, an overgrip, dampener, or other additions.
- The recommended tension range is a Babolat product field, not a universal stringing prescription.
Frequently asked questions
Is the listed 300 g weight a strung weight?
No. Babolat labels the 300 g +/- 7 g figure as unstrung, so a completed setup will differ after strings and accessories are added.
Does this entry test the Pure Drive Gen11?
No. It reports Babolat’s published fields and does not make a hands-on, laboratory, or performance claim.
