Great racket, it’s my preferred choice… Great for intermediate to advanced players.

I'd been playing with an 18x20 "player's racquet" for over a decade when I decided I needed to move to a more contemporary racquet to take the next step in my game as I get older, play in more leagues and tournaments, etc. After weeks of demoing over a dozen racquets, this was almost the one that I went with, going so far as to demo it a few times. I really wanted to like it as it actually gave me the biggest boost in serve speed Its biggest problem was the feel; to me, it had a "jangliness" or "hollowness" in every stroke that wasn't for me. It contributed to a feeling of unpredictability, especially on volleys, even though the results were always what I wanted. A very odd thing: I was often surprised by my own shots, which is maybe a good thing, but just didn't inspire confidence. All that said, it did great things: big spin at the baseline, big power and accuracy on the serve, and despite feeling a bit unwieldy (high twist weight?), more touch than expected at the net.

I am a long time Pure Aero fan, however, was nervous about this slightly different string pattern. However, once I was able to demo the racquet I loved it immediately. For me personally, it almost feels lighter even though it is the exact same weight as my previous Aero. The striking feels lighter in the volleys, lighter/faster in the groundstrokes, etc. I am a fan after just two weeks!

I found this racket to be very controllable in ground strokes and having a great sweet spot with the condensed string pattern on this frame. Top spinners will love this racket! Great control with spin! Provides good power for serves. No negatives here. Been playing with this racket for 6 months. Also have Pro Drives and older Aeros. This one is my favorite. 4.0/4.5 player.

As a 4.5 level tennis player. I have always played with Babolat for the following reasons. I really like the Babolat Aero a lot in regards to power (thanks to RPM Blast) awesome feel for the ball to generate heavy topspin and that I’m very particular that this model is 300 grams, and has a 16x19 string pattern. Thank you Tennis-Point!! 💪
