What players say
Reviewers see the Pure Drive Plus 2025 as an extended-length power frame that keeps the standard Pure Drive's easy pace and spin while adding reach for serves, slice and net play. The 2025 update with NF2 Tech 2.0 flax-fiber dampening is described as noticeably more comfortable and stable than earlier Plus versions, though a few longtime players find the new frame too flexible next to older Tour Plus models and note it can be picky about string setup.
Best for
- Aggressive baseliners wanting extra leverage
- Players who like the Pure Drive feel but want more reach
- Serve-and-forehand hitters
- Doubles players
Pros
- Easy, on-demand power described as 'nothing short of remarkable' off the ground
- Big, easy spin generation
- Serve is a standout shot thanks to the extra half-inch of leverage
- Surprisingly maneuverable for an extended frame (swingweight under 330)
- 2025 NF2 Tech 2.0 dampening makes it feel more comfortable and stable than prior Plus versions
- Extra reach helps on slice and at net
Cons
- Control is a step behind more precision-oriented frames
- Extra length can make early preparation on fast returns harder
- Some players find it firmer than expected on off-center hits
- Sensitive to string choice and tension, requiring experimentation
- One long-time Plus/Tour Plus user felt the current flex rating is too soft compared to older versions

One of the best extended-length racquets I've played with in years. It's a modern power frame that rewards aggressive tennis.

Please bring back 74 stiffness...The 69 stiffness is too much flex.
