BENEFITS
POWER
Prefer to take the ball early, but lack the extra power needed for a winning shot? We’ve adjusted the racquet’s weight and balance point to give you that extra power, all combined with the latest HTR technology. Now you can outmanoeuvre your opponent with confidence!
PRECISION
Does your playing style require the best power:precision ratio? Thanks to its 98 sq. inch (632 sq. cm) head and polar inertia, the Pure Drive 98 improves stability on impact for more precision.
FEEL
To play tennis your way, you need to completely trust your racquet. That’s why we’ve added the latest Pure Drive SWX technology to this 98 version. The result is an excellent ball feel for the perfect sensations.
HTR SYSTEM
The High Torsional Rigidity (HTR) system is a new lay-up composition in the hoop of the racquet for increased rigidity to produce explosive winners at will.
SWX PURE FEEL
New technology featuring extended wrapping of SMAC technology, the cutting-edge vibration filtration system integrated in the lay-up composition, provides an unrivaled feel at ball impact and a unique sound on every shot.
