I wonder if that is one reason I liked it so much. The handle on this racquet seems more squarish (and hence Wilson like) than other Babolat models. It is light and maneuverable, and the head heaviness makes it easy to both slide and stick volleys with much accuracy. Serves and overheads were very comfortable with this frame, and unlike two summers ago, this frame was very volley friendly. It was very comfortable in rally mode using moderate topspin, and it was equally comfortable when I wanted to flatten the ball out and end points or approach the net behind flatter balls. The Babolat PR materials say that this frame is slightly head light, but I would suggest that they look at all they are measuring that specification. It is somewhat head heavy and that combined with the tight 16 x 19 string pattern makes it easy to generate both power and spin. It has a 100 square inch head and weighs 10.2 ounces strung (which I would repeat again is the only weight that matters), and is the standard 27 inches long. If this frame had been available that summer, it is for sure where I would have gone. The main reason that I choose the Pure Drive was that although it was easier to hit groundies and serves with the Aeropro I could not volley with the thing to save my life. The baseline player will have no trouble hitting deeper shots and getting the ball to drop down hard & fast.Tennis Racquet Review: Babolat Aeropro Teamįiled in Tennis Product Reviews, Tennis Racquet ReviewsĪ couple of years ago I spent a summer and fall playing with Babolat frames, and the decision came down to what was then the Babolat Pure Drive GT Roddick model or the Aeropro frame that Rafa Nadal was using then.
& 10.6 oz., the new Pure Aero comes with great power. Babolat's improvements leave nothing to the imagination and all Aero fans will be delighted to take advantage of the new capabilities of this racquet. Built for speed, power and spin, the new Pure Aero does not disappoint. The new Pure Aero remains a base-liners best friend. The serve felt similar to the previous Aero, with the exception of some help with vibration dampening on the service impact. The power coming off the racquet is as good as it gets, perhaps more powerful than the previous version. Our play testers agreed that the racquet has only been slightly dampened and that the dampening technology was not "overdone". The solidity & stability of the racquet have never been better thanks to the C-PLY Stabilizer and SMAC tech incorporated into the throat and head.
BABOLAT AEROPRO TENNIS RACQUET FRAME UPDATE
On the court(tested with full bed of RPM at 57 lbs): This Pure Aero update is just as strong as the previous Pure Aeros, but with better aerodynamics on the topspin forehand and serve. Faster head speed potential means that this Aero is capable of improving your spin game. Our play testers swear that this racquet moves faster through the air than any previous Pure Aero. The most noticeable change for this 2019 Pure Aero update is the frame's Aeromodular technology. Babolat has made the Pure Aero the fastest, most powerful and spin-friendly Pure Aero ever.
