Verdict
A wide, stable hard-court shoe that lasts a rec season if you are hard on laterals.
The blue racket that still makes pace feel free—softer than older Pure Drives, still firm, still the club default when you want the ball to go.
A fast midplus that helps rec players take the ball early without feeling like they borrowed a tour stick.
