What players say

Liked 3 sources

Independent coverage of this exact 2025 Super Lite frame is thin, but the one detailed writeup found (Tennis Overload) describes it as an easy-swinging, comfortable Pure Drive aimed at beginners and juniors moving up to a full-size frame. It generates surprising depth and spin for its weight, but reviewers say it gets pushed around by pace and advanced players will outgrow it quickly.

Best for

  • Beginners
  • Juniors moving up to a full-size racquet
  • Recreational players wanting a light, easy-swing frame

Pros

  • Very easy to swing and prepare with, described as effortless on both groundstrokes and volleys
  • Generates easy depth and power despite the low weight
  • Produces spin readily off compact swings thanks to the open pattern and racquet speed
  • Updated NF2 dampening gives a smoother, less harsh response than earlier Pure Drive generations

Cons

  • Lacks stability and doesn't absorb pace well against harder-hitting opponents
  • Advanced players find the frame too lively/unstable for real control
  • Likely to be outgrown quickly by improving juniors or adults who develop bigger swings

Voices

The extremely low weight makes preparing for each shot effortless, whether you're rallying from the baseline or reacting at the net.
