Babolat Drive Z Lite 2009 Tennis Racquet

Provided by Tennis Plaza

The Babolat Drive Z Lite Cortex tennis racquet provides plenty of maneuverability and racquet speed due to its light weight, but has a head heavy balance for added stability on shots. The new updated cosmetics for 2009 offers a fresh feel to a familiar racquet. It offers a firm, yet comfortable feel due to the built-in Cortex System and provides plenty of power. The Drive Z Lite Cortex also offers greater stability and less torque due to its Elliptic Geometry frame and Zylon Matrix construction and also includes Babolat's Woofer Technology. Best Suited For: Players seeking a light weight, maneuverable racquet that is firm yet comfortable at impact. Recommended for 3.5 - 5.0 level players. Zylon Matrix Technology: Zylon fiber is a high-tech material that is 50% more rigid and resistant than standard carbon and is 20% more resistant to torque than standard carbon. Zylon Matrix reinforcements are placed in the racquet's head for more stability and comfort, and in the throat of the racquet for added stiffness and more power. Cortex System: An active vibration filter customized to player level needs and acts as an interface between the handle and frame. The two parts of the racquet are actively linked by the C.D.S (Cortex Damping System) which filters and dampens vibrations interfering with feel, to enhance the feel of the ball. It is the first technology customized to filter the different types of vibrations. High frequency vibrations which interfere with feel are filtered out and only the vibrations providing feel (low frequency vibrations) are maintained. Woofer Technology: A patented innovation by Babolat, Woofer is the first technology which makes the frame and the strings interact when striking the ball. This technology adds 25% more contact time between the ball and strings, which in turn generates more power, more control and spin, a more comfortable feel and a larger sweetspot area.
