over 10,000 posts and you need to ask? there will be a 27.5 and roddick uses a 28 NOT a 27.5

That's the first I've heard of his being 28".

Ditto that. Adlis, you mind citing your source?

Oh, his stick. Thanks for clearing up any confusion.

I am curious. this is much more lighter than previous pure drives. only 300 grams. I wonder why Babolat decided to go light weight route. Taking lessons from YONEX ??

Much lighter ? 11.1 v/s 11.2

Nice racket. But it seems like it's exactly the same to the Pure Drive that is available right now. Woofer, cortex, graphite. Whats going to be different?

They're the EXACT same weight, as the two generations before them. 300-300-300. They are not lighter than previous versions, but rather, the same. Same specifications too, as a matter of fact. The Pure Drive Roddick is 15 grams heavier than the regular PD; EXACTLY the same as the last-gen version.

Exactly- while I admit that I do like the new PJ on the PDs I highly doubt that there will be much difference as far as the playabity goes on them. At least not as much as going from the non-cortex to cortex did.

To me there's a big difference - you'll see.

Raymond089 · 04-22-2009, 05:01 AM

Big difference? like more feel? or just better than the current ones on the market?

i have held the new Pure Drives but have not hit them, i did speak to a guy that hit with it and says it seems to have lots more control and is more comfortable to hit without any loss of power. Here in Canada they say it will be around the 15th of May before we see it although my local shop (search the web in Canada for the address or i can supply it but.....) has just moved the CT Pure Drive to $125 cdn$ so i bet it won't be long for the new one. i have seen a powerpoint that the reps have used to preveiw the new frames but it doesn't have much info that has not been talked about here yet, it does have pics of the new bag collection though. Stay tuned for more.
