Racquet Specifications
Racquet Technologies
HTR System

SWX Pure Feel

FSI Power
FSI is an acronym for Frame String Interaction. In Babolat’s racquet technology universe, FSI is a major issue. In the newest Drive series of tennis racquets, Babolat has shifted the string placement to provide more density where it is needed. They have also tweaked the shapes of the grommets to provide an improved sweet spot that helps on all shots, including off-center hits. The combination of technologies is branded by Babolat as FSI Power.
GT Technology
Babolat’s GT Technology combines high density carbon fibers, giving the racquet head optimum strength which translates to greater power and increased control on any shots hit with maximum power.
Woofer System
Babolat’s Woofer System Technology increases the ball’s dwell time on the string bed. More dwell time means more opportunities to manipulate the ball with either spin and/or energy. As a result players who have spin and/or power have more opportunities to use that spin and/or power.
Elliptic Beam
Elliptical frame shape offers high resistance to twisting and bending for optimal power.
