Our verdict
The Drive Light trims weight down to 345-360g against the standard Drive's range, making an already-forgiving beginner diamond even easier to swing. The EVA Soft Performance core and fibreglass face carry over unchanged, so the comfort and forgiveness profile is identical - this is purely about making the frame more manageable for a lighter-framed or newer player. A sensible pick for anyone finding the standard Drive a bit much to move around.
This is the standard Drive with weight shaved off, aimed at a player who finds a full-weight diamond a bit much to manage. The forgiving core and face carry over, so nothing about the feel changes beyond how easy it is to move through the ball. It's a sensible, comfortable starting point rather than a racket built to keep pace with as a player improves.
