Babolat Pure Aero Review - A look at all the different generations

[@mlzu.]

Can you make one for the Wilson pro staffs

[@zizaozazi4804]

+1

[@DwaynePretorius]

Pro staff 97 please 🙏

[@justkath8730]

The 90 ones, I have the blx 2012-2013 and 1 kfactor

[@2ndAveScents]

My 2014 AeroPro has gained a lot of lead over the years, but it remains one of my favorite sticks of all time. I LOVE it so much and I continually string it with high tension poly in the low 60's. Fantastic racquet.

[@homecomingwithlito]

Great video again, thanks! What about a video about the Head Radicals? :)

[@cybergrail]

I purchased two of them in 2004 and i still play with them today.

[@footballnut1]

My favorite for sure is 2013-2015 for sure. I add leather gip and tungsten 2&10 and its perfect

[@TyRaff]

Amazing job! I love this line of racquets!

[@TheRausing1]

I actually always really liked the coretex system in the handle. Gave the racket a ‘two piece construction’ kind of look and made it seem super premium.

[@homosapien5156]

2016 pure aero is my favourite

[@Doty6String]

2016 tour version was my fav.

[@allmusic962]

I have both the yellow one and the newest Rafa Pure Aero one. I have the same kind of hits as Rafa, just less developed and with less strength. We have practically the same style, which is why this racket can be perfect for someone who also has this playing style.

[@allmusic962]

Haha

[@2ndAveScents]

8:00 OMG backhand winner on the run down the line WOW

[@timothycremar1772]

Can you make one for pure drive and soft drive too?

[@neygercey7899]

I have a set of Pure Aero but felt they didn't have that much of power till I added some led. 4 gr at 12 in one racquet and 4 gr at 3 and 9 (2 gr each side) and felt a big difference, more spin and more penetration plus heavier kick services.

[@DutyFirst]

Still play with the same Aero from 2006 (first edition). Over the years I've thrown it so many times but it's still going strong. I've tried a few raquets since such as the 2021 pure drive and nothing compares with my og 2006 APD. I can see why the pros still stick with the model that's 17 years old

[@windandsea6237]

Love the content man!!!!

[@TennisTrollChannel]

Amazing racket. Like the yellow look. Stands out.

[@b.lakeberg7456]

Nice video. Played with the APD back in 2007. I enjoyed it, but soon left it after having a hard time controling the power. I have not tried another version since.

[@Escorpio123PS]

6:29 this version is actually 72 RA Stiffness.

[@oneeyedollar7727]

The original was the first good racquet I bought back in 2005. I still use it some to this day, but I have moved on to a smaller head and heavier frame.

[@gian8448]

Make this into a series!!

[@Fred_P]

I think I might have tested the second version back in the day. Your description fits what I remember of it. Basically I thought "ok, this is not for me" and I haven't tried playing with any Pure Aero/AeroPro Drive ever since.

[@casemiller7155]

I love the Pure Strike line of racquets!

[@AdilKhan-hd4ns]

Bravo! Excellent review

[@SawyerQuinn]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the steam 99s. I think it's one of the most unique rackets ever produced. I't's really hard to give up the spin, stability, and power once you've played one for a while. I hope they come out with something similar again soon.

[@Mahllz]

I've been using the 2010 version for 10 years now, just cracked it last weekend. End of an era :(

[@TheRockyBalboa100]

Is it good?

[@abc123s100]

It's curious that the 2019 is considered the 7th gen where there have only been six iterations: 1. Original APD 2. APD Cortex 3. APD GT 4. APD Active Cortex 5. Pure Aero 6. Pure Aero 2019 Unless I missed a model somewhere in between

[@Tennisnerd]

My mistake! 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@abc123s100]

Haha, just keeping you on your toes. Although, Babolat did call the 2016 Pure Aero the 'Sixth gen' on their KZbin channel with the video title, "The new Babolat Pure Aero: creating the 6th Generation," which is rather odd

[@droth40]

I love my OG pure Aero drive + What do you string yours at, and what is your preferred string?

[@tonylall7649]

That's something I've wondered about for years, how come tennis companies weren't sued for leaving the impression players were using the racquets that they only endorsed?! May have been common knowledge to the well informed but if you've just started the game it wouldn't. Apologies for being negative but another pet peeve is why they don't release pro stock moulds on the open market, surely we're all not a bunch of weaklings who can't lift anything above 350g. They'd probably sell quite well and could be marketed for advanced players only (not that I am one) but it would be nice to get a feel for the precision needed to use pro equipment! As always great vid!

[@NoNo-bd2db]

Nice vid! Can you make one for the Head Pyramid Tour (also called Pyramid Midplus and Pyramid 630)? It’s a unique vintage racquet that deserves a play test and some spotlight.

[@shadspov1430]

Please do all generations of the wilson pro staffs

[@lsegura1212]

Excellent review. Our champ is 10y and we are looking for the lite version. The shop in my village can't say if the one they have is 2021... How can I identify the newest version? Thanks in advance

[@philippf7949]

Nice video! Thanks for your videos.😅😂💪👌

[@LocalTennisPlayers]

The 2016 babolat pure aero plus is one of our favorite rackets of all time. Easy power and spin really helps out one of our shorter players so he can smack some winners and be more aggressive. Side note: check us out too! We can decently hit a tennis ball!

[@jorgeandrescoppiano]

I’ve seen rdc pics of Rafael’s stick. He uses a APDO with 65 ra strung. Yes. A pro stock. I played my friend’s 2010 version. Old dead Rpm 1.30 @53 (6 months old). Too much power. Forces you to play with lots of spin for the ball to dip before the lines. The old poly made it harsh on my hand. I prefer flexy control oriented racquets. 95-98.

[@danoliver8804]

22 GS - 14 on the hardest surface. I'd say the original is a decent frame 😎

[@CarlJung666]

Hi thanks for this review. Due to that gt issue, does it mean cortex and gt are just the same except for the paint job? Thanks I’m asking since im switching back to cortex. I have a pair of 2016 and i love it. However for some reason, i would love to own another pair of cortex since im a heavy spinner and i think i also love the feel of the cortex. So if ever cortex and gt are just the same, ill buy 1 gt since i only have 1 cortex at the moment. Thanks

[@Willz828]

i wish they didnt discountinue old rackets, i would totally keep buying new versions of my old 2010 racket if i could

[@mwu365]

Could you make one of these videos for the Pure Drive line?

[@Tennisnerd]

Yes!

[@mwu365]

@@Tennisnerd thanks a lot

[@flowremix]

I love my aero pro drive racquets. I like the rawness of it. I want to hit so bad now!

[@epicferret1]

Which one is the one with “pure” very small in the “a” of the lowercase “aero”?

[@DavidGao1988]

Does each generation of aero has its own special edition, like La Decima in 2018 and Rafa in 2021?

[@FirestarG1]

Please do one of these for Wilson Prostaff?

[@lynndaggett6959]

great video i play with the extended

[@Tennisnerd]

Thanks Lynn, yes extended racquets can be great for the right player.

[@jnid1758]

wait, so he still uses the original 2004 version under a paint job? is that for real? wow. that's a cool trivia

[@Tennisnerd]

Yes, for real :) more info like this in my Racquets of the 3 GOATs video...

[@michaelp9061]

They definitely need to bring back the aero pro drive. The pure aero is sub-par

[@sludgebob5961]

I still use the babolat aeropro drive woofer. love it and def need to switch soon but eh. I love it Edit: you HATE my racket? Omg 😳😳 I mean if it didn't work for that's ok lol

[@Escorpio123PS]

.can you make one for the strike?

[@g2tennis]

Do this for the Prestige line

[@matteopiana5318]

Is there someone take out thiem and zverev that are using the latest model?

[@brendandylanmaloney]

I was the exact opposite of u, I loved the second generation and didn't like the third generation, everyone is different. 🎾😊🎾😊 the second and 4th generation felt like they had a faster swing weight, I cant stand head heavy racquets, my maneuverability suffers immensely.

[@K4R3N]

I bought the 2nd gen from my buddy, pretty stiff and not good feel. Demo-ing Gravity now. I don't think I'm a Babolat player.

[@zizaozazi4804]

make six one series also haha

[@justkath8730]

Do a history of Rogers raquets!

[@SuperWhofan1]

Has anyone ever felt arm pain from using a Aero?

[@Tennisnerd]

Yes, it's quite common

[@muhammad1chsan]

why?

[@kiltropablinho79]

Aero pro are the best❤

[@Ihasfinger911]

The 2016 version is the most vibratey racket I've ever used. The sound of it alone made it unplayable for me. PING! PING! PING!!😬😬😬

[@youngsuit]

WTF Adrian Mannarino? When I watched him play in 2017 I noticed he didn't have a clothing sponsor either

[@jonienglish3231]

good Video Demo : YAMAHA Secret 04 - 85-90 RA !!! STIFF PERIOD !!!!!!!! Yan nic NOAH

[@michaelp9061]

Funny no one sued head for the lack of graphene. LoL

[@jonienglish3231]

Too me the Pure Drive and Aero Drive FEEL the Same - No Difference

[@gallade_vgc6753]

The banana one has no feel

[@Tennisnerd]

Not as much as the oldies for sure!

[@K4R3N]

Stiff as a board

[@Bensway7]

for me worst racquet you really have to play best tennis of yout life if you wanna perform with this racquet it has no precision not that much spins any racquet can do that amount of spin and has usually better control and power, would not recommend
