To all of you, a happy new year! Tennis equipment manufacturers have already started updating several classic racquet lines and court shoes in January, indicating that 2025 will be a very exciting year.
Starting with a new iteration of the Babolat Pure Drive, the best-selling racquet of the past few years, we'll go over everything you can anticipate seeing in the tennis world in the first few months of this year.
What Is The Best Tennis Racquet 2025?
Babolat Pure Drive in 2025
Yes, all of you Pure Drive users can rejoice! Although Babolat takes its time updating racquets, the Pure Drive, a fantastic new stick, will be released in 2025. Naturally, Babolat decided on a little update rather than a major makeover because the previous Pure Drive was so well-liked and has been at the top of the sales lists every year since it was debuted in 2021.

Without compromising any of the Pure Drive's magic, NF2 Tech 2.0 takes the place of SWX Pure Feel as the primary damping material in the frame, making striking a little more pleasant overall. To further support the overall "easier" theme they're aiming for, they've also somewhat decreased the flex (71 RA) and swing weight (315 strung). Our whole evaluation of the 2025 Pure Drive is available below; it's an incredible frame.
Now, the new Pure Drive 98 isn't a subtle update if the Pure Drive 100 is. They have chosen to employ a more conventional "box beam" in the hoop rather than the entire elliptical beam that was utilized on the last one.
It subsequently re-integrates into the neck's elliptical beam, producing a distinctive combination of a stronger throat and a more traditional hoop. Although I haven't tested it yet, I am eager to use the Pure Drive 98 in court. Watch this space for the complete review.
Wilson Clash V3
Although many players find the Pure Drive to be effective, some may find its stiffness to be a little unpleasant; in this case, the Wilson Clash can be useful. With its forgiving, robust, and powerful design, this racquet capitalized on the success of the Pure Drive when it was initially introduced in 2019. But in an attempt to remove discomfort, Wilson designed the Clash to be incredibly soft rather than rigid.

It quickly gained popularity and became the preferred choice for players seeking a comfortable and forgiving racquet. Though not quite as successful as the V1, the V2 was also a smash, and the V3 is now available. If it's time to retire your V1 or V2, this will be the ideal upgrade because it's a little stiffer than the previous two but still really comfortable, stable, and forgiving.
It's important to note that Wilson retained the highly favored 100 Pro and 108 in the roster but dropped the Clash 98. Choose the 108 if you want a very forgiving comfort frame and aren't interested in developing a modern, full stroke, and the Pro if you want even more power and stability. As soon as we can, we will test the new Clashes. Keep up with all of our most recent reviews by subscribing to our YouTube channel!
The Yonex Ezone V8
Once again, the renowned racquets are coming in the form of the Yonex Ezone range. Over the past ten years, the Ezone, and especially the Ezone 98, has gained a cult-like following among enthusiasts who are enamored with the frame's distinctive fusion of contemporary power, spin, and exceptional control. The V8 is an improvement on the preceding Ezone 98, which was one of the most powerful and forgiving 98s available.

The upper hoop's design has been altered to be slightly more squared off, which increases power and widens the sweet spot. The V7 was previously fairly comfortable, but the new 59 RA puts it in the same league as the most comfortable racquets. They have also softened it considerably.
The lighter 100L and 100SL models, as well as the new Ezone 100 and 98 Tour, are excellent choices for novices. Just so you know, the new paint job looks fantastic (and definitely unique) in person. I'll be testing the rest of the line in the upcoming weeks because I really like the improvement Yonex did to the 98.
2025 Head Gravity
The Gravity was a slow burner when Head first released it in 2019, but as more players tried it, its popularity grew significantly. The Gravity line has something for everyone. The Gravity MP, which is comfortable, forgiving, and quite decent for control, is available to intermediate and advanced players.
However, because of its famous feel and control, as well as its rock-solid stability, the flagship Gravity Pro has become legendary among elite players. I've been quite outspoken about how much I adore the Gravity Pro, and the revised Auxetic 2.0 version for 2025 still reflects that. In addition to lowering the balancing point to accelerate the frame's somewhat slow swing pattern, the new technology makes it a touch more stable.
However, they haven't stopped there. Fans of the brand have been pleading with Head for years to produce the Gravity Tour 98, which is new for 2025. The 98-square-inch teardrop head design just makes sense, and I'm not afraid to declare that this is one of the best racquets I've tested in a long time, even though I'd like to use it on the court for a little longer before making this claim. The Gravity Tour 98 has it all: power, spin, control, and a very addictive factor.
Technology-Based Racquets
In January, we will also be introducing several brand-new Technifibre racquets to the store. We will shortly receive our demo fleet for testing, and although I haven't heard anything about the specific improvements, both the T-Fight and TF 40 lines are getting an update. Advanced players seeking classic control and, more importantly, that increasingly elusive foam-filled feel have been drawn to both of these lines.
Radical Head 2025
The new Radical is on the way, and the upgrade is what you would anticipate from Head in 2025, but you Radical fans will have to wait till March for this one. Auxetic 2.0, which offers somewhat easier stability and a generally more subdued feel, is taking the place of Auxetic. We'll send you a review shortly.
Gel Resolution X by Asics
This January, racquets aren't the only item that's popular. A few classic sneakers will be updated for 2025, and the Asics Gel Resolution is the most famous of them all. Similar to the Pure Drive, the Resolution 9 has consistently been our best-selling tennis shoe since its release. In addition to more contemporary features like speed, energy return, and comfort, it embodies the industry standard for support, stability, and longevity.
Asics has been steadily enhancing the Gel Resolution over the past nine iterations, but with the X, they've opted for a more eye-catching improvement. As different as it looks, Asics is known for never messing up the Resy, so I’m sure they’ve come up with something good. We’ll get it tested as soon as possible here’s to hoping it’s as good as the 9!
