Hello PTO!  Grin
It's been a while since I've visited this place. Smiley

Feast your eyes on some of the awesome videos of the new 2012 Babolat Pure Drive. Andy Roddick will debut this Racquet on the 2012 Australian Open... It's awesome!

No big deal. It's the same stick with a new paintjob.

Well, I'll still buy.  Then, probably after awhile, I would know if it is really not a big deal.

Every racket manufacturer comes up with periodic updates and minor tweaks to keep the product line fresh.  For those who use the Pure Drive, of course, the build up of anticipation is expected. Babolat wants to keep you as a customer. They have to give you something to look forward to. Smiley  The pros will get their old rackets with a new paintjob. That's just business.  laugh

I'm unemotional when it comes to rackets. If the specs are what I'm looking for and it plays the way I like it to, then it doesn't matter who makes it, what's in it, or whether or not some tennis pro endorses it. A new paintjob and an inverted cortex wasn't enough of a game-changer for me.  What's interesting is that I preferred the Donnay Formula 100, which is a Pure Drive clone (same mold minus the woofer, gt and cortex).

Of course, hindi naman maglalabas ng entirely differenct models every year ang mga racquets manufacturer.  Ika nga, why fix kung hindi naman sira.  Yung mga upgrades ay para na rin sa enhancement ng mga existing models. At ito ay base sa research.  Ano sa tingin mo kung hindi ginagawa ito ng mga manufacturers, siguro wood racquets parin ang gamit natin ngayon.

Hindi nanganghulugan na we buy new things because of emotion alone.  Kung walang emotion, siguro robot or computer.

You could not call Donnay formula 100 a clone of Pure Drive without the GT, cortex and other technology in it.

A lot of the “upgrades” have been planned years ahead of it’s release and are introduced incrementally as part of the product's life-cycle management and marketing strategy.  Like I said, it’s just business.

Sometimes, an upgrade is a re-hash of old tech in a new package.  For instance, Prince played around with this tungsten stuff back in 1999.

I love racket tech regardless of where it comes from, but I prefer substance over hype.

Well, here you go: no GT, no cortex, no woofer, no tech

The cortex system has nothing to do with the racket's stiffness. It's just a fancy term for vibration dampener.  Wink
