It looks like Babolat has a big announcement coming up this Thursday...

Last week Babolat sent me a huge postcard labeled with the phrase...

"You won't get it out of your mind until you get it in your hands."

This was their way of inviting me to an online product launch this Thursday February 19th at www.babolat.com/obsession.

Is this the unveiling of the new Pure Drive? I'm sure that will be a part of it, but it sounds like a whole new line is going to be introduced. I tried to get some information from my local representative, but he was unable to provide any details except that it would be worth my time. Needless to say I am getting pretty excited as the day draws near. I just hope that my anticipation doesn't make it impossible for Babolat to deliver something that will live up to the hype...

Of course I will be sharing with you any information that I can after the event, so be sure to check back here Thursday late afternoon for all of the juicy details!
