Description

Impressively light & agile!
"I was looking for a head-light racquet to replace my Prince "Beast. " The new Babolat Drive Lite fit the bill! Even when playing with the demo, my game turned heads. I made some impressive net volleys, and was quickly sold by the speed and feel of this new frame. Since restringing, it's gotten even better! Highly recommend if the specs are in your ballpark."
