Description

Elevate your game, one step at a time. Enjoying the self-improvement challenge of tennis? Check out the Evo Drive. Whether you want to have fun with friends or want to see how far you can take your game (why not both?!), this affordable performance racquet provides easy power and comfort as you enjoy tennis and reach your full potential. If you want easy power and comfort but prefer a heavier racquet for increased stability, you’ll enjoy the Evo Drive Tour.

You are asking for some power to support your game but, from the study Babolat conducted, what you truly mean is a forgiving yet responsive racquet that will help you generate the extra power you are seeking. Thanks to its new lay-up, 16/19 string pattern and its 102 sq. in. headsize, you will be able to hit powerful strokes as never before.

You can’t stand vibrations in your arm or an unpleasant sound when you hit the ball? Problem solved! Babolat want you to experience this new softer feel on every shot this racquet provides thanks to its SWX Evo Feel technology, a thin layer of high damping viscoelastic material that absorbs vibrations and shock at impact.

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.

L4 (4 1/2") 4 and 4/8" (4.5 inches)
L5 (4 5/8") 4 and 5/8" (4.625 inches)

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.
