The cited Babolat US product page names this configuration Pure Drive + Gen11 Unstrung. It lists a 100-square-inch head size, 27.5-inch length, 300 g +/- 7 g unstrung weight, 320 mm +/- 7 mm unstrung balance, and a 16/19 stringing pattern.
Construction and context
Babolat publishes Graphite composition, a 23/26/23 section, and an unstrung configuration for this model. The page also uses Babolat’s HTR System terminology. These remain source terms for identifying the listed frame, not independent evidence of stability, energy return, feel, or other on-court results.
Who it may suit
The entry offers direct source fields for matching this 27.5-inch Pure Drive + version against a listing or another catalogued racquet. Published length, unstrung mass, balance, string pattern, and tension range are comparison references; they do not determine a player’s needs or results.
Specifications in context
- Length: 700 mm / 27.5 in
- This is Babolat’s published length for the Plus configuration and distinguishes it from a standard 27-inch listing without predicting its effect in play.
- 21-25 kg / 46-55 lb recommended tension
- This is the manufacturer’s stated product-page range, not a universal recommendation for every string or player.
Tradeoffs and caveats
- The published 300 g and 320 mm values include Babolat’s +/- 7 tolerance.
- This model’s listed 27.5-inch length is a configuration identifier, not evidence of reach, leverage, or playing outcome.
- Strings and accessories are absent from Babolat’s stated unstrung measurements.
