Babolat Tennis racquets have highly engineered features and high end technology which makes them stand out among thousands of racquets available in the market today.
Babolat started out in 1875 and from then on, they developed top quality racquets that gave a strong impact in the tennis world. Why turn anywhere else than the original inventor of tennis strings for your tennis racquet?
The GT frame
The GT frame, exclusive to Babolat tennis racquets, is “a customized performance booster,” according to the Babolat website. It is a braided graphite/tungsten hybrid material that reinforces the frame at key points to reduce torque and increase precision. The racquet is strengthened through it’s reinforcement material without adding weight to it’s frame. Most of their frames weighs 10.6 ounces or 300 grams.
The woofer
It’s woofer technology enables solid ball control thourgh the increased amount of contact time b/w the ball and it’s strings. This is made by babolat during the year, 1999.
The cortex system
This joint-like cortex amongst the frame and handle work as a vibration selection system. Based on the website, this cortex dampening system (C.D.S.) filters out unwanted higher frequency vibrations in the handle of the racquet, which interfere with sensation, and preserves useful lower frequency vibrations, which enhance responsiveness.
The Babolat Aero Pro Drive GT and the Pure Drive Gt are tow of babolat’s best seeling racquets in the market.
Ralph Nadal and the Aero Pro Drive
The aero technology in the Aero Pro Drive racquet was first patented in 2004 and sponsored immediately by Rafael Nadal; four years later he was ATP world number one. The aero modular structure of the racquet frame provides better balance and a faster swing. The circumventing woofer, the cortex frame joint and also the aero modular frame is the three technologies of the Aero Drive Pro that merge to create the top performing racquets on the market. This racquet is 27 inches long and it has a head size of 100 square inches.
The Pure Drive
An unclassified racquet, the Pure Drive, offers players of all levels access to the innovative attributes used by the pros. With an exterior woofer, a GT frame and also the handle to body cortex system the racquet is made for players who want power in their swing. This racquet has a head size of 100 square inches and is 27 inches long. It is the official racquet of Rubén Ramírez Hidalgo.
“The Pure Drive GT is a legendary, emblematic racquet, known for pure power and a better feel,” Babolat.com.
