Babolat Propulse / Pro Pulse Fury tennis shoes
The Propulse (sometimes labelled "Pro Pulse Fury" in Australia) is Babolat's stability-first court shoe — built for heavier players, aggressive baseliners, and anyone who values support over featherweight feel. Where the Jet Mach prioritises speed, the Propulse prioritises holding your foot stable through brutal lateral movements. The result is a heavier, more substantial shoe that lasts longer and gives you confidence on the cut step. Adult and junior models are available in all-court and clay-court versions.
How to choose
For all-court hard play with maximum support, the Pro Pulse Fury 3 All Court. For clay courts, the Pro Pulse Fury 3 Clay. Junior players get the Pro Pulse Junior. For lighter, faster options, see the Babolat Jet Mach instead.
