The Park Tennis Take
The Park Tennis Take
Buying a first serious racquet has a way of becoming a vocabulary test. Unstrung weight. Swingweight. Polyester. Tension. You wanted to play Tuesday. The EVO Drive Gen2 arrives with strings, a graphite frame, and a 102-square-inch face that leaves a little room for the forehand you meant to hit. At 270 grams, it is easy to get moving without wandering into toy-racquet territory, while Air Handle Touch softens what reaches the hand. This is not the Pure Drive you saw on television. Good. You are buying court time, not an entrance exam.

Beginners moving into a full graphite racquet, improving players, and returners who want an easy swing, useful power, and no stringing decision before the first hit.

The Babolat EVO Drive Gen2 Strung is a current, ready-to-play graphite racquet built around accessible power and comfort. The standard Gen2 has a 102-square-inch head, a 270-gram unstrung weight, and a 16x19 pattern. That exact identity matters because the previous EVO Drive and the current Gen2 Lite use different head sizes and patterns.
