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.
The silver co-poly that defined modern control stringing—firm, precise, and still the tour benchmark if you swing hard and restring often.
