Babolat Pure Drive Gen11 (2025) vs Dunlop SX 300 (2025) vs Mizuno Wave Exceed Tour 7 Clay

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.

Dunlop’s teal/yellow spin 100—TW topspin 9.1, $250 street, the empty-brand Aero/VCORE alt Court List was missing—not the first spin demo for most, but a real primary if you want shape cheaper and a touch more directed than yellow Aero.

One of the lightest clay shoes with a durability guarantee (12.7 oz, 6-month outsole warranty) and a full herringbone DX Rubber bottom, but it's a slim, low-profile speed shoe, not a plush do-everything option.
