The Propulse is the new competition shoe from Babolat. It is designed to be very durable while still providing a high level of comfort.
The Propulse features a new inner sole system called Exact Pro. This inner sole system was designed using Pebax, a very high response resin. The Pebax sole is designed to compress and expand with every step to provide an extra burst of propulsion. This also makes the shoe very shock absorbent and comfortable.

The Propulse also features a Michelin Rubber out-sole that was specifically designed for the shoe. In testing, this high durability out-sole was found to be 40% more durable than any other tennis out-sole on the market today. The Michelin Rubber outsole also features a new traction system called OCS (Optimized Cell System) that was inspired by Michelin rally racing tires. It consists of circular micro-cells on the out-sole of the shoe that allow for more surface contact, providing more traction.
