The player's racquet in the Drive line-up, the Z-Tour weighs in at just under 11 ounces. With the Z-Tour, Babolat continues its trend of producing lighter racquets suitable for hard hitting intermediate and advanced players. With its Elliptic Geometry frame and Zylon Matrix technologies, the Z-Tour offers a firm response and good access to power. We found spin generation easy with this racquet - partly due to the easy swinging weight and partly due to the 16/19 string pattern. At net the Z-Tour offers a stable platform and plenty of control on the volley. Weighing under 11 ounces, the Z-Tour is easy to get around, making it useful for those fast, reflex volleys. Best suited to 4.0 to 5.5 level players.
