This this review we’re looking at the Babolat Pure Drive Roddick GT and the Babolat Pure Drive Roddick GT Plus. Andy Roddick plays with the latter.
These two sticks use several technologies. The first is called “GT,” which stands for Graphite Tungsten. Interwoven throughout the frame, this material increases the power of the racket. The second technology, called “woofer,” also increases the power of the racket. This technology allows the strings to move more easily through the frame, increasing the sweet spot and the trampoline effect of the strings. The final technology is called “cortex.” Placed at the top of the handle and bottom of the throat, this technology reducing the vibration of the racket, making it more comfortable to hit with.
As we’ll see in the video, these two rackets are very similar. The primary difference is the length of each racket. The Pure Drive Roddick GT is 27 inches long while the Pure Drive Roddick GT Plus is 27.5 inches long.
These rackets are good for intermediate to advanced players who like powerful rackets with good spin potential.
If you own one of these sticks please let us know what you think about them in the comments! Thanks!
