Improved feel meets crushing power and heavy spin potential with the new Pure Drive Roddick 2012. It was tough to imagine how Babolat was going to improve the response of an already great racquet, but Babolat has done it. This latest version is a great fit for the player who likes to set up a point with a big serve or return, then finish things off with a big groundstroke. Faster than its close to 12-ounce weight would suggest, our testers found they could take a good rip at just about every ball with this racquet. However, should the player find themselves at net, the racquet offers the power, stability and crispness to make it a deadly weapon. The power and stability found at net also made this racquet useful when testers found themselves on defense. Counter punchers will love how easy it is to hit with depth and pace. Block returns and shots hit at full stretch come off the racquet with surprising depth and accuracy. The new Pure Drive Roddick is such an impressive racquet that our testers found it hard to fault.
