The two racquets were the same exact specs as they were supposed to be. Great racquet overall if you like easy power but still want some control.

Perfect racquet if you enjoy power with more control
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

The Pure Drive racquet line has always been my personal favorite in terms of the effortless power it's able to generate. The 98 sq in. head size is a great addition to this line to give you just a bit more control while still having the great feel of power that the racquet naturally generates.

Love it!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Racquet weight feels equally balanced and swings incredibly smooth. Love the transfer of power from swing to ball.

Same power, more control
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I was looking for more control and spin, compared to my current Pure Drives. This racquet provides the same power, but with substantially added control. I didn't get the same spin as with other control frames, but it's an excellent racquet for those who play with a Pure Drive or other power racquet looking for more control.
