Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard - racket & strings

[yourtennisfit]

I actually find the Pure Drive 2021 quite comfortable for a power racket. I was surprised when I tried it given the reputation of this racket family.

I find it funny how people here think that all pros would need to die from this racket
Fognini played this for 20+ years probably and he's still there

Regardless which racket you use, don't forget those pros are much fitter and get a lot more treatment than you

They could have been online yesterday, it doesn't matter. They are marketing !!! Call Yonex and ask them what Tommy Paul's specs are and see if you get an answer.

Even if you get these specs - what will you use them for?

I doubt you are a 6ft8 professional athlete with a 150mph serve, so just play your Pure Drive in a way that suits the average joe

if I get Perricards specs I'll grow a few inches and add 30mph onto my serve, guaranteed ahahah

And what better marketing than to share his specs, if they are close to what rec players use. I bet some folks would buy the PD just to try Gios spec.

Yes a guy who is 6'8 professional player is going to have very similar specs to a 4.5 guy playing USTA league . Come on !!!
And just an fyi if you haven't been paying attention for the last 20 years, Babolat is not having any problems selling Pure Drives.

I don't think his racquet is the secret ingredient to his serve nor does Babolat need him to sell more PD's. It's proven to be a racquet line that just keeps selling regardless of no big name pros using it.
