Slightly heavier than the rest of Babolat’s Pure Drive line, the Roddick is perfect for players who demand more ball control and powerful strokes. The racquet also takes advantage of Babalot’s Woofer and Cortex technology. Woofer increases the contact between racquet and ball by 20% (more trampoline-feel) and Coretex is a vibration-buffer that runs the length of the handle and prevents arm injuries. Intended for tweeners, or intermediate-to-advanced players. Specifications: Headsize: 100 sq. in. Length: 27.00 in. Weight (strung): 11.85 oz. Stiffness (Babolat RDC): 73 Balance: 12.89 in.

People who say they can't control their shots are obviously not very good players. Great control, awesome overall playability. Volleys are crisp and responsive. Groundstrokes are deep and powerful with heavy topspin. Definitely recommend it for doubles and singles. Awesome.” Aaron, Texas, U.S.A
