Babolat’s 2026 Wimbledon Collection celebrates the summer’s most prestigious tennis tournament by combining the performance of the Pure Drive Gen 11 with exclusive, tournament-themed accessories. The collection features the classic Pure Drive frame, along with coordinated apparel, footwear and bags designed to show the classic aesthetic of the All England Club.
The Pure Drive Wimbledon 2026: Performance in White
The Pure Drive Wimbledon is a special cosmetic edition of the standard Pure Drive Gen 11 (2025). While the visual design is inspired by Wimbledon’s red strawberries and traditional white dress code, the racquet maintains the exact performance characteristics that we know well from the current Pure Drive series.
Technology
The racquet features Babolat’s signature NF2-TECH 2.0, which uses 100% unidirectional flax fibers. This technology is a hallmark of the Gen 11 platform, providing excellent vibration filtration for a cleaner, more arm-friendly feel upon impact. By placing these natural fibers in the racquet’s throat, Babolat successfully reduces harsh vibrations without changing the explosive power the Pure Drive is known for.

The Pure Drive Wimbledon delivers the same technical performance as the latest Pure Drive frame:
- Head Size: 100 sq in
