The stability, maneuverability and solid response of the AeroPro Drive made it an enjoyable racquet at net. My favorite setup turned out to be Luxilon 4G, as I found a ton of spin and control to go along with the power." Volleys - Score: 85 Best of all, I was hitting my aggressive groundstrokes very, very well. I felt very comfortable rallying with it since finding pace and depth was effortless. I had forgotten just how easy this racquet is to use. However, once adjusted I found good accuracy and tons of pace and spin on everything. On the first few hitting sessions I found myself a little ahead of my down-the-line forehands and was pulling them toward the middle of the court. He said, "This version of the AeroPro Drive felt extremely maneuverable, more so than the previous versions, and I was able to get a lot of spin out of it. Paired with a poly, the spin potential and easy response of the AeroPro Drive pleased Chris. I could hit the big baseline balls that I love, and my placement and depth control was on par." The control was great I could be pretty pinpoint accurate with my shots. The Aero just flies through the air, allowing me to create some heavy racquet speed, so I can absolutely fire forehands with this racquet. I got a lot of comments on my ability to whip back really low balls with a lot of pace with this racquet, and I like how I didn't have to adjust my swing speed. I love the maneuverability and the way I can switch between heavy spin and hard flat balls with ease. It just allowed me to enjoy hitting groundstrokes that much more.

There was less bad feedback and a more solid response than I expected, which I really enjoyed. The one difference I noticed from the previous version was the cleaner feel. I've always enjoyed the Aeros, and this was no exception. Siobhan came into this playtest with a history with the Pure Drive line. It's still very stiff feeling, but the dampening system in the handle does a great job of making it more comfortable than ever." Active Cortex, now introduced into the AeroPro Drive line, does a great job dampening the feel and creating a better connection between ball and player, which I felt previous versions of this racquet didn't quite have. It's very stiff feeling, which is where all that extra power comes from, but this is where Babolat's innovation kicks in. Coupled with the open string pattern and light (11.3 oz) weight, you can absolutely rip the ball with massive power and spin. headsize provides a lot of forgiveness, allowing me to take big cuts at the ball without fear of missing the sweetspot. He said, "The new AeroPro Drive GT is explosive from the baseline! The 100 sq. This wasn't the most comfortable racquet I have played with, and sometimes if I hit outside the sweetspot I experienced some discomfort."Įnjoying the 2013 edition's powerful and responsive offering was Andy. I really enjoyed hitting angles with this racquet, and I was even able to hit a low, penetrating slice with this racquet (which I don't do very often!). There was definitely potential for power, but I would say not as much as a Pure Drive. She said, "I was really able to whip the racquet around on low balls and hit them with spin. The first thing Brittany noticed was her ability to hit heavier groundstrokes with tons of spin.

Like the earlier version, the AeroPro Drive Cortex features the same AeroModular technology that allows for a more aerodynamic frame to increase headspeed and further increasing the power and control permitted to the user.Powerful, spin friendly and maneuverable, with improved comfort and feel, the new Babolat AeroPro Drive reaped many compliments from our team. The Woofer technology adds pistons to the frame that act as suspension to decrease the amount of shock that could potentially hurt the player. The Cortex Technology filters out harmful vibrations that may contribute to tennis elbow without sacrificing the excellent feel and control that has made Babolat a world power in tennis equipment.
