Overview
Babolat identifies this racquet as the Pure Drive Lite Gen11 Unstrung. Its current product page publishes a 100-square-inch head, 27-inch length, 270 g +/- 7 g unstrung weight, 330 mm +/- 7 mm unstrung balance, 270 swing-weight field, and 16/19 stringing pattern.
Construction and context
The source lists Graphite composition, a 23/26/23 section, Syntec Pro as the recommended grip, and an unstrung status. Babolat’s page also includes its HTR System terminology. These are catalogued material, configuration, and technology labels, not independently verified claims about response or durability.
Who it may suit
This record is useful when matching a product listing to Babolat’s stated 270 g unstrung configuration and when comparing published head size, balance, string pattern, and tension fields. It does not translate those numbers into a recommendation, comfort claim, or performance prediction.
Specifications in context
- 270 g +/- 7 g unstrung; 330 mm +/- 7 mm unstrung
- These published configuration fields include Babolat’s stated tolerances and should not be treated as exact finished measurements for every racquet.
- 20-24 kg / 44-53 lb recommended tension
- This is Babolat’s listed tension range for this model, rather than a guarantee about stringbed behavior or an individual setup recommendation.
Tradeoffs and caveats
- Babolat attaches a +/- 7 tolerance to the listed unstrung weight and balance values.
- The 270 swing-weight field is manufacturer-published product information, not a measured result for every retail unit.
- A completed racquet’s weight and balance will change once strings and accessories are added.
