Verdict
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.
New Balance's cushion-first stability shoe. The Fresh Foam X ride is among the plushest in tennis, it comes in D and 2E widths, and TW backs the outsole for six months. You pay for that in weight (about 15.8 oz), sticky traction until it breaks in, and mixed customer reports on how long the outsole lasts.
