Alternatives worth demoing

Editorial shortlist based on published frame class and weight; compare on court.

Babolat

Pure Drive Gen11

A power-focused 300 g racket to compare if your normal rally balls land short.

£166.90Tennis-Point · unstrung · checked 2026-10-06

Trade-off: That lively response cuts both ways. If your shots already sail long, it can make depth harder to judge.

Babolat

Pure Drive 107 Gen11

A bigger 107 sq in head in a lighter 285 g frame, for players who want more room for error.

£169.90Tennis-Point · unstrung · checked 2026-10-06

Trade-off: The bigger head and slightly longer frame can feel a touch slower at the net. The listed length is 27.2 in, so check it on the exact model.

Head

Boom MP 2026

A power-focused Head racket, listed at 295 g with a 100 sq in head.

£157.90Tennis-Point · unstrung · checked 2026-10-06

Trade-off: Watch how steady it feels returning a big serve, especially when you catch it off-centre.

Strings and ownership

Buying used

Check bumper, hoop, throat, grommets and grip. Structural doubt overrides a cosmetic grade. Include replacement parts and a restring in the total.
