[toyota817]

Niceeeee!!!

 

[toyota817]

[ripperfranky]

Nice pics!
I wonder if this is just a new pj with few upgrade....

 

[SaunderS]

Yeah, that black bit. I hate the color of the racket though.

 

[master_stringer_mitchy]

good spot on the cortex. i really like the new design. would like to know if this will be the same as the regular pj or slightly different for roddick

 

[FedererForehand]

I'm thoroughly unimpressed with the new PJ. It seems rather bland and boring to me IMO. I like the old PDR PJ much better.

 

[Octavian]

the racquet looks alot better in these pics then from the charity event i have know idea why tho haha

 

[i8myshirt]

I think the color of the blue is just an unpleasant color to look at. It looks mucky.

 

[nn]

it is not the first time he has use new racquet.. in fact he had used against dynko in first match of the year

 

[captinsane903]

I think that may have to be one of the ugliest bab pj's out there. The current RPD pj is nicer.

 

[Blade0324]

I really doubt it's anything other than a new PJ for roddick but I like the color and look of it much better then the older versions.

 

[rommil]

Never mind the color (although the black part should have been blue as well). Does this help Roddick volley better? lol

 

[B-rian]

I really don't like this new PJ I think Babolat should've stuck with the previous look.

 

[Deuce]

That blue is a colour you see a lot of in Toys R Us.

In any case... new racquet (or paint job, at least), same awkward, unnatural Roddick game...

 

[DarthCow]

Do i see the Carbon Xtrem logo in the first pic?

Or am i just seeing the woofer logo instead?

Also, the bridge is red, which could indicate some sort of crossbow like technology (blerghh!)

 

[jwa1sh]

Wow, what an impovement from the original cortex

 

[Automatix]

Also, the bridge is red, which could indicate some sort of crossbow like technology (blerghh!)

Nah! The bridge is suppose to incorporate Babolats tech called Yoke Dampening System:

 

[MIRO_1975]

IMO the "old" PJ is far better and more exciting!!

The new one, even if this one looks far more bright than at Rock 'n Rackets, is kind of "boring and uninspired".

I am a bit sad that Bab did not bring out a really cool new PJ...

 

[MIRO_1975]

I think you can see the silver Andy Roddick - Signature on the left side of the bridge (like on the old one).

So eventually the standard PD will have a more exciting PJ...!?

 

[JacKKyKung]

Nah! The bridge is suppose to incorporate Babolats tech called Yoke Dampening System:

It's look like Babolat try to do everything to reduce shock from it's stiffness.

I don't think it's work, because the shock is come from entire frame not only bridge.

 

[robertg06]

I like the look of this new racket.

 

[vmosrafa08]

I actually like the new pj. It looks better than his previous racquet.

 

[mrmo1115]

I like it alot more than the current PJ. Just my .02 though.

 

[william7gr]

The color is similar to the Head LM 4

 

[1st Seed]

Not sure with that yoke dampner system.One more to demo,great

 

[bladepdb]

Eh, indifferent about the PJ.

I'm still sure the cortex is a PJ. There's no outline visible extending out of the racquet where the cortex otherwise would.

 

[Dan007]

Babolat's new technologies are just coming up with new dampening system for the last two models. They need start coming up with something better or we're just buying same rackets with different pj and built in dampener.

 

[Zhou]

His cortex has always been a PJ...

 

[MarrratSafin]

The blue of A Rod's new racquet is kinda odd.:-| I prefer the current Pure Drive's pj, actually think the PDC is one of the best looking sticks around. And yeah roddick's cortex is just painted on.

 

[Shin]

Yeesh, now the Pure Drive really looks like a toy. The darker blue in the current frames look much better.

 

[Mdubb23]

That blue is a colour you see a lot of in Toys R Us.

With all due respect, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Roddick moves across the court so gracefully, and has such smooth, fluid, and effortless strokes, that make his game one the most natural games on tour. His volleys, especially, simply goregous, breathtaking, punches.

 

[JRstriker12]

I like the current PDR paint job MUCH better. New model doesn't even temp me to upgrade.

Guess I should watch for when the PDR's go on sale so I can have a back-up or two in case I break one of my current sticks.

I hope you're joking.
If not, you need to take a few months to learn about tennis, then come back to the boards.

Roddick is one of the most awkward, unnatural pros ever.
There hasn't been such an ugly pro game since Brad Gilbert retired.

 

[RoddickistheMan]

wow this frame is going to have absolutely no feel now.

I think it's obvious he's joking.

I hope so...especially the comment about the volleys.

Yes, he's joking. That post had the MOST sarcasm exuding from it that I've ever seen...

Surely you're not talking about ANDY Roddick? The game you've described bears little resemblance to his.

 

[adidasman]

I do recall having my breath taken away by Roddick's volleys. You know, gasping. "Gadzooks, what is he doing??!!??"

 

[quest01]

Roddick's new racquet looks nice but not as nice as the APDC in my opinion. I do like the idea that he switched to the cortex system.

[Morrissey]

Who cares? As long as I can bash that sucker good. Feel is for wussies. That´s why Volkl and Fischer never sell.

what does he mean by NO feel ??

You never know on this board.
Some people are so obsessed with 'their' player that they magnify the good 100 times, and completely ignore the bad.

 

[Morrissey]

Perhaps it dampens the shot more than Cortex does. Cortex takes away a little feel from the ball so imagine this new technology which supposedly does more. I say it can´t be worse than Cortex.

 

[Mdubb23]

Agreed, the chances of that happening and not having an article is highly unlikely. There's almost an article on everything that pros/celebs do. Adding no bias at the end just makes it even more made up.

I'm not lying. Well...I was exaggerating. He spilled the Gatorade on the floor, and it splashed on me, however he did say those exact words. If you don't want to believe me, that's your business, however, I was being honest.

 

[Knightmace]

His right is arm looks huge compared to his left arm.

no you weren't, you just lied right to our faces...what makes you think we should believe the rest?

 

[SempreSami]

Roddick comes across as a ***** anyway so I wouldn't be surprised that he did this or pushed an old lady over.
