Just a quick post to update everyone on the staus on the new Babolat Pure Drive that is rumored to be coming…
To recap, there have been several pictures floating around the internet of Andy Roddick using a new racquet. The specualation has been that Babolat will introduce the new version some time this year. Today I heard from my territory representative from Babolat that there will be a new Pure Drive that will be released this summer. He did not have much to say about it except that he believed that it would be a mainly cosmetic change. So it sounds like there will be no new technology to it (maybe a couple of upgrades), and the Cortex system will still be there. It looks a lot to me that Babolat is trying to stir up new sales by introducing a new look to an old racquet.
Will this “new” Pure Drive be enough to get Andy a second Grand Slam title? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see…
