Anybody else received the racket?
:~(
Not me. Wish I had a tracking number for the darn thing.
Hey Babolat Play playtesters, try checking your "spam" mail folder to see if Babolat emailed you anything. Found some mail regarding the playtest that was sent directly to spam instead of my inbox (don't know why).
Just a heads up!
Got it tonight and I'm so excited to try it out tomorrow. The PC program was easy to set up and sync to the racquet but have not tried with my phone since it says no build of the app is available yet. Thank you Babolat!
@Babolat Official,
How does the Play software deal with scores above 100%? I'm a bit concerned about this...
Babolat frames in the mid 50 RA would make me try these.

I clicked on this thread thinking the OP was a post from Babolat.
Me either, and no tracking number .
You got a score above 100%?
For power, ALBANO OLIVETTI (ATP) and his serve is the high end (someone in the 140-155 MPH range).
I was just kidding... wow 155 MPH?!?!
Congrats! Feel free to restring with your own set up (I recommend it, those were pre-strung in China), add weight, over grips, etc.
What kind of machines are used for the factory stringing?
I'm used to valuing precision and consistency over everything else, but a large-scale factory setup obviously prioritizes speed, so I'm interested in how the equipment reflects that.
Got my racket today... first session tonight!
Daniel, the racquet isn't charging at all nor does indicator flash when I try to turn it on.
Here's the email I just sent to BabolatPlay@babolat.com:
Hello,
I just received the Pure Drive Play racquet today and in attempting to set it up, i have encountered a number of issues that I would like to report.
iPhone5: I was able to pair the racquet with my iPhone successfully via Bluetooth. However I was unable to successfully create an account. I was able to enter an email address and password. The next screen is where I enter my name, location, birthday, right/left hand player, etc. I was to fill in those fields. After i ticked the 3 check boxes (accept terms and conditions, receive updates, etc) and clicked next to create my account, the application would try to do so, but would not move to the next screen. I tried 4 times and nothing happened.
Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.1.2: I was unable to even pair the racquet with the Galaxy S3 via Bluetooth. I activated the Bluetooth on the racquet and scanned but nothing came up. I did the same with my iPhone previously and it had no issues locating and pairing so i'm positive it wasn't user error.
0-2 so far...not an auspicious start...
However, not one to give up easily, I proceeded to dig up the previous email from Babolat Play and found the link to download the BabolatPlay_widget.exe file for PC. The download and install went smoothly. After I launched the Babolat Connect application, I attempted to create an account. This time I was able to create an account successfully.
After creating my account, I went to my iPhone and was finally able to log in to with my credentials.
I'll be playtesting the racquet this weekend so if I encounter anymore issues, I'll be sure to report them.
Thank you
Just wondering...has anyone else encountered any of these same issues?
Also wanted to ask, every-time you sync the racquet, it downloads the session and removes it from the racquet correct? Because I just synced it with my phone, then when I plugged it into the computer, it said no session available for download.
I'm loving the racquet... strung with Pro Hurricane at 48 lbs yesterday. I think it does a pretty good job. The impact sensor seems remarkably accurate. It's a pity I suck at tennis:
Well done to Babolat for putting together such an innovative product...
It's remarkable how consistently high you hit in the bed. Very interesting product, I'm honestly very impressed with how well it breaks down data.

I can see my first session with a Galaxi S4 (not with the widget, not with a Nexus 7) bur I cannot validate it...
