Description

Babolat's power-friendly EVO Drive is designed for a balance of power and comfort suitable for a wide variety of players, from beginners to intermediates looking for a user-friendly experience at great value. This racquet has identical specs to the other EVO Drive Lite racquets of this generation so it isn't necessarily a racquet only for women.

In terms of raw specs, the headsize at 104 square inches provides a blend of control and power with a little more forgiving feel than a typical 100 square inches. Coupled with the headsize, the open string pattern has a lively feel with easier access to spin. The weight being very light at 9.0 ounces (unstrung) provides easy manoeuvrability granting easier general movement for comfortable net-play, serves and quick returns. Its head-light balance (unstrung) increases your ability to move the frame quickly, an important factor in generating power as well as being conducive to fast movements at the net for game-changing volleys or being able to swing fast for greater spin generation. The beam thickness enhances and optimizes the stability of the frame for greater energy transfer and power across the string-bed.

The EVO Drive Lite bring easy power and comfort to your game, in a lighter, easier-to-manoeuver weight. This alternate cosmetic allows you to express your unique sense of style.

Babolat recommends Babolat XCEL string for this racquet.

  • WOOFER SYSTEM: The first and most effective frame-string interaction system that provides a longer ball and string contact time for greater control and comfort.

How to select your grip size
8 things to consider when choosing a racquet
Understanding tennis racquet specifications

Photos used contain images of strings for illustration purposes. Adult tennis racquets are unstrung unless otherwise noted or stringing services have been selected above. Brand logo stencils are not applied by default with stringing services. If you request brand logo stencils, please note that a stencil is painted onto the strings within a brand's stencil and may wear off over time - this is how stencils are applied on tour. Depending on the string you select, the stencil paint application fullness, colour and visibility may vary.
Adult racquets generally do not come with covers. To protect your racquet, we recommend getting a racquet bag.

Product specs such as weight may vary slightly from racquet to racquet to what is advertised due to the manufacturing process.

To determine your grip size without using a racquet, measure from the tip of your ring finger to the major fold crease in your palm. Write down the distance to the nearest 8th of an inch. This is your standard grip size.

Grip size palm measurements for tennis racquets

If you fall somewhere between the measurements, it is recommended to choose the smaller grip size as you can always build the grip size up using an overgrip (for a slight increase) or a grip build-up sleeve (for a half or full size increase). The grip measurements above factor in the pre-installed factory grip.
