Babolat

French company from Lyon, known for tennis rackets and strings.

Pierre Babolat founded the company in Lyon in 1875 to make gut strings for rackets and musical instruments. His son Eugène continued and made tennis gut strings in the 1920s.

The company began to make rackets in the early 1990s. The Pure Drive of 1994 became one of the most played rackets in the world, and Rafael Nadal is known as a Babolat player.
