Babolat’s ranges are simple: Pure Drive for easy pace, Pure Aero for spin and shape, Pure Strike for firmer control, with EVO and Boost as lighter entry routes.
What each range feels like, who it suits and what to check.
Easy power and depth
Who it’s for: Improving and club players who want the frame to help create depth.
Pure Drive (Gen11) is Babolat’s easy-power range, built to help you hit deep without a big swing. The links below cover the standard 100, the 98, the larger-head 107 and the very light S Lite.
Spin, shape and whip
Who it’s for: Baseline players who build points with topspin and want a spin-first demo.
Pure Aero (Gen9) is Babolat’s spin range, for players who want more topspin and shape. Pure Aero Rafa is a player edition, not a separate range.
Firmer control and feel
Who it’s for: Club and match players who already create their own pace and want a more precise Babolat response.
Pure Strike is Babolat’s firmer, more precise control range. The current Gen4 is an older version and a newer one may be coming, so check which generation the shop is selling.
Entry and lighter adult frames
Who it’s for: Newer players and lighter swingers who want an accessible route into Babolat.
EVO and Boost are Babolat’s entry-level, lighter adult rackets. Worth a demo if you are new to the game or find full-weight frames tiring; check the exact model and weight on the shop page.
Rackets in the same range get updated every year or two, and shops sometimes label the same racket with different years. Before you buy, check the model year, head size and grip on the shop or brand page, and try a demo if you can. Pure Strike is on Gen4, which is near the end of its run, so a newer version may follow.
