Babolat C Drive 102
Known for its light weight, the Babolat C Drive 102 toes the line between power and control. With a 102 square inch head size and 9.3 ounce unstrung weight, this frame is a versatile option either for juniors transitioning towards a full-length frame or an adult that simply wants an all-around frame without the weight. The replacement for the popular XS102, the C Drive 102 boasts a more comfortable design thanks to the Side Cortex system, which places a barrier along the throat of the racquet to filter out harmful and unwanted vibration for a pure, crisp feel. Our testers found that this racquet was extremely maneuverable and was most effective moving into the court rather than staying back where stability was an occasional issue for the hard-hitters.
