The Babolat Pure Drive JR 26 (2021), is a lightweight racket, suitable for younger players who have some experience. This racket will make sure to make the transition to a full sized racket as smooth as possible, as the feel and build quality will be more similar to an adult racket.

The Pure Drive range is known to provide heaps of power, and this racket is no different. That's one of the reasons we think this is such a popular option for junior players. For most junior players, power is perhaps the most desirable attribute, and something that can be hard to achieve when first starting to play on a full-size court, and with heavier balls.

The Babolat Pure Drive JR 26 (2021) also provides good stability, whilst still being easy to manoeuvre. This racket will be a great stepping stone for players who are looking to compete, as it does provide a great foundation when moving to a bigger sized racket, and eventually a full-sized racket. You will also notice a big difference in the stability and power if you're moving from a graphite composite or aluminium racket. 

In the age group that this racket is designed for, players will also play on a bigger surface, and use a heavier ball. This means that the stability and power from a high-quality racket will help the player transition, rather than hold them back.

 Babolat Pure Drive JR 26 (2021) technologies:

High Torsional Rigidity (HTR) SYSTEM > A new lay-up composition which strengthens the head of the frame. This means that the racket bends less upon impact, and more of the energy goes back into the ball. This leads to increased stability and more explosive power, especially on high-intensity shots. 

Elliptic Frame > The structure of the frame allows for optimal resistance. This means that the frame will be rigid, and thereby transferring the energy into the ball. This will lead to incredible power

FSI Power> This technology is responsible for the diamond shaped grommets. This along with a new string pattern lay-out increased the sweet spot. This results in more power, as well as a more forgiving frame.
