|
||
| leftys_rock |
were there large red "sale" words blinking around it?? | ||
| J-man |
no i don't think 189.00$ is a sale
|
||
| leftys_rock |
lol....how much does it normally cost?? | ||
| shampoo192 |
$189??? wow that is some big money?
how much did your racquets cost? |
||
| leftys_rock |
well mine cost $170...... | ||
| Davia |
My Yonex RDX 500 gos for $170 as well | ||
| leftys_rock |
thats with strings right?? | ||
| Davia |
I woold not even waste my dinero on his racuet the way he is playing. | ||
| J-man |
the racket looks stupid anyhow. and it's the person using the racket not the racket | ||
| leftys_rock |
like 3 of my friends use that racquet....i didnt like it....so i went with my surge.....and i love it.... 
|
||
| Davia |
I also woold not waste my dinero beting on the game of Roddicks wat ever raccuet he is using. | ||
| leftys_rock |
some people might like the racquet for the way it feels to them.... | ||

The Pure Drive is a missile launcher. I used the popular one, and I couldn't really keep the ball in the court. Of course, I have my Prestige.... | ||
| leftys_rock |
yeah, i used it and im like "woah, its making me spray the ball".... | ||
| x.doublea |
It's far to light for me as well, there's no feel, etc. It's only popular because, "Oohh, Andy Roddick uses it. It must work!" | ||
| leftys_rock |
yeah, im like "wow a lot of people have it"....but i personally dont like it.....my surge works just right for me....
|
||
| J-man |
okay we should be talking about the pure drive roddick not the old pure drive | ||
| leftys_rock |
can you post a link of it from TW?? | ||
| J-man |
http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/descpageRCBAB-BPDRP.html there's the link | ||
| leftys_rock |
thanks very much...
|
||
| J-man |
can't see anyone selse using it other than roddick
|
||
| leftys_rock |
yeah, roddick is the only one that uses it.... | ||
| J-man |
and it has his signituure on it. i don't think ivan lubjicic would use with andy's sig in it 
|
||
| leftys_rock |
they even have roddick's name in it....
|
||
| x.doublea |
It's a pretty ugly racquet, to be honest. | ||
| leftys_rock |
yes, i have to say so as well....gosh, even though roddicks not doing very well right now, everybody still buys that racquet.... | ||
| J-man |

I'm sure the specifications aren't identical to his either. He adds tons of lead tape to the head. | ||
| tennis4life |
i use the pure drive plus an dloved it for a while but am starting to doubt it cuz im getting stronger and hitting my balls way long so i want a different racquet thats not super popular(ncode) but still has alot of control and is head heavy
any suggestions?? |
||
| J-man |
make a topic about it | ||
| Benchwarmer1 |
And where is he now, dropping to the 5th seed on the outside looking in |
||
| x.doublea |
If he didn't have a personality, he wouldn't be anyone but a 'solid' tennis player.... | ||
| Benchwarmer1 |
a very opinionated personality at that | ||
| Benchwarmer1 |
Geez...
They made a whole new set of pure drives with the same paint job as this one, i used to think they looked nice, but now uhhhh.....

I like the old Pure drives more than the new ones | ||
| leftys_rock |
the new pure drives are VERY light....they almost felt flimsy... | ||
| J-man |
Did you hit with it?? | ||
| leftys_rock |
yes, i didnt like it......i never really liked the pure drive racquets anyway....it felt too flat for me.... | ||
| x.doublea |
They're almost identical in specifications, though.... | ||
| J-man |
But not in looks
|
||
| x.doublea |
I have to say, the racquet actually looks a bit ugly.... | ||
| Benchwarmer1 |
TOTAL DOWNGRADE! | ||
| J-man |
I really would hope that the old Babolat prices will go down  But don't know if Lubjicic would play with an ugly stick 
|
||
| x.doublea |
He probably will, or else Babolat won't pay him the top dollar.... | ||
