You should consider getting a used Pure Drive from the for sale forum on here. You can probably get a used one for around $80.

I had many pros tell me that BAbolat you have is very similar or most similar to Wilson N-code that brian brothers use.

the Npro open plays exactly like the babolat PD

Contrary to what this guy believes(have you even tried both) they play very differently. The Open just felt tinny to me. Not solid at all. There wasn't as much pop there either, and the spin seemed inconsistent. When the spin was there it was a great racquet, but wasn't often enough.

Yeah, although they spec the same, completely different to play with.
