Babolat Drive Z 118 Tennis Racquet

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.
Smart Grip: The first racquet handle shaped for the hand which enables the entire palm of the hand to be in contact with the grip. This results in a more natural grip of the racquet for greater comfort, requires less effort when hitting providing more power and reduces handle twist when striking the ball, resulting in better control.
Dual Woofer Technology: Dual Woofer is the latest Woofer technology patented by Babolat designed to ensure optimum comfort for light racquets with oversized heads. Dual Woofer contains 60 "vibration dampeners" located all around the head. Two materials have been combined for their complementary functions: (1) Rigid material: ensures the strings' perfect skid upon impact with the ball, (2) Flexible material: captures vibrations before they propagate into the frame. The advantages are: five times more shock-absorbing than a traditional bumper grommet, racquets with oversized heads are both powerful and comfortable and provides unparalleled comfort and excellent feel.
