Pure Aero Team vs Pure Aero: Apart from the weight, what is the difference and for an intermediate player what is recommended.

[@tenniswarehouse]

That is the difference, as the Team is a bit lighter and more maneuverable than the Pure Aero. It starts with the Pure Aero Lite, then Pure Aero Team, Pure Aero, and Pure Aero Tour, (going from lightest, most maneuverable, to heaviest, most stable, and most plow). For an intermediate player, you could use either the Pure Aero Team or Pure Aero, just depends on your preference of weight, but I might lean towards the Pure Aero for a bit more stable feel.

Hey guys I’m looking to buy a pure aero, but I’ve come across rumours that these rackets break strings at a rapid rate. I’ve also read that these rackets tend to crack. Can you please shed some light on this matter..?

[@hoaluu572]

yea, since these are built for spin, it u look carefully on the grommets on the top and bottom, u'll have them find space in order for the strings to move, so careful about ur string choice. but I never heard of them cracking though...

[@flavasavamcfly]

Not really depends on the string tension & also how you play. If you keep hitting the frame with force obviously the racket will crack.

[@tenniswarehouse]

@ O PP, the string spacing is pretty open with the Pure Aero, so depending on string type, and the player, it may lead to string breakage, as with most open patterned racquets. That said, when strung with a thicker poly, like 16 gauge Solinco Hyper-G or Luxilon Big Banger Original, we find the strings to hold up well for us. We haven't found the frames to crack, in an unordinary fashion. Troy, TW

I am trying babolat pure aero and aero tour. I am coming from a gravity pro racket. I felt I hit the aero tour better. Great serving, ground strokes heavy and volleys solid. I did like a little consistency with the aero tour but It was probably because I’m not used to this record completely. I think it was pretty solid though with a hybrid set up of rpm blast and some other synthetic on my demo

[@ernestocortez5820]

I’m conflicted on which one out of the Pure aero , Pure aero team , and pure aero lite to choose since I’m somewhat of a beginner since I’ve only been playing a couple of months but I can play decently. I haven’t been too much into rackets but I’m looking into buying my sort of first one since I’ve just been using a racket that was my friends. But for me I prefer to use power in my hits but my current racket isn’t too powerful in my opinion, but also I am a fan of a racket I can get good feel on and speed as well so I don’t know which one to get.

[@tenniswarehouse]

@Ernesto Cortez, What racquet are you currently playing with? The Team and Lite are very similar but I would suggest the Team as it is a tad heavier and probably an easy transition. From there, the Pure Aero offers a bit more weight but with that comes more stability and mass behind the ball so if you are up for it and confident in your mechanics, you can make a jump to that one but a good progression would be from the Team to the standard version. Hope that helps! Michelle, TW

[@Amsfxyz]

@@tenniswarehouse however, Lite has more swingweight despite being .5oz lighter than Team. So wouldn't Lite be more stable with a bit more power?

[@Amsfxyz]

Can you guys please help me understand the difference between Babolat Pure Aero Team and Lite. Team weighs 10.6oz with swingweight of 307 (302 for 2023 version), while as Lite weighs only 10.1oz but a swingweight of 311. Does it mean Lite will be more stable with more power? However, various websites and maybe even Babolat suggest Lite for beginners and Team for strong beginners/intermediate players, shouldn't it be opposite if Lite has higher swingweight and a bit harder to maneuver than Team? No idea why they would have a lighter racket with higher swingweight when they have a heavier one with lighter swingweight.

Hi, great video! I'm looking at getting into the pure aero line I'm coming from the HEAD Graphene Touch Radical MP Ltd 25 years and was wondering which would be best I tend to generate a lot of spin and and have a fast swing speed also wondering the best strings and tension for spin and durability. Thanks!

[@tenniswarehouse]

Since the Radical MP is a bit more of a control racquet, compared to the Pure Aero, then likely the easiest transition for you into the line would be the Pure Aero VS. It offers more control and feel over the Pure Aero, but easier power and spin than the Radical MP. That said, if you want a bigger boost, then the Pure Aero may work well for you, just not quite the control and feel. Troy, TW

Based on the weight of that Speed S, if you wanted the most similar in weight/maneuverability then you would want to go with the Pure Aero Team. If you think you want to go up a bit in weight, for a little more stability and plow through, but won't be quite as maneuverable, then the Pure Aero (standard 300 gram version) might be the way to go.

It is pretty close in comfort. The stiffness ratings are essentially the same. The thinner beam of the VS gives slightly more feel, and a bit of a plush feel, but you can still tell that is firm. The Pure Aero has a slightly firm feel as well, but has a bit bigger sweet-spot, so that helps. Troy, TW

Some other strings that we enjoy in the Pure Aero/Pure Aero+ are Solinco Hyper-G, and Head Lynx Tour.

I swear by the Luxilon Alu Rough strings on my Aeros. They’re super fun. Loads of power but so much spin control. Only downside is if you play a lot, expect to restring them somewhat regularly. I play 2-3 times a week and find I get a few months at most. Sometimes 6-8 weeks.

I wouldn't say it "loses" spin but it does not have as much spin potential compared to some of the others. It is worth remembering that spin is mainly going to be generated with mechanics and then the racquet, string spacing and string will help in adding more RPMs when the technique is correct.

What exactly do you find tedious about the Gravity Pro? I would assume the weight, and swingweight which gives a pretty hefty feel.

The last release for that frame was back in 2017, and you can check out our review for that here, to see what we thought: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZXdeYtvpdOAkM0. In the current Pure Aero line, there is a Pure Aero VS, which is a different frame mold to the previous Pure Aero VS from 2017, which that older one was based on the old Aero Storms from Babolat. In the current line the Pure Aero VS, the one shown in this video, offers a bit more control with the 98 headsize and 16x20 pattern, and a bit more feel for the ball with a slightly thinner beam than the regular Pure Aero, but is still pretty firm as far as stiffness.

I wouldn't say the differences are big with the Pure Aero and Aero Plus. The extra half inch does indeed help with some easier power on serves, and groundstrokes, as with most extended versions. That said, typically the extended versions are usually much more sluggish feeling, and in this case the swingweight isn't highly different, it is at 330 for the Aero Plus which is on the upper end, but not significantly different than the standard Pure Aero. It hard to say for certain as to whether the extended length will be a benefit to your game or not, but we have enjoyed the plus version quite a lot.

​@@tenniswarehouse Thanks a lot for the reply Troy! Yes I looked at the Pure aero VS which looks awesome and could fit very well but I'm afraid of the stiffness..Do you think there is any difference between the Ezone 98 and the Textreme Tour 100 (310) that could help me choose? It looks like they play the same haha

@@bastienlauer8396, The EZONE 98 feels a bit more maneuverable, and is a bit more precise with the 98 headsize. The Textreme Tour 100 (310) offers a bit bigger sweet-spot, is more spin friendly, and has a bit more plow through. Comfort is fairly close. Troy, TW

[@bastienlauer8396]

@@tenniswarehouse Thanks ! I believe I'll go with the Textreme for that extra spin and sweet-spot !

@@bastienlauer8396 hello, have you bought the prince ? If so, what do you think of it ?

[@pritesh1369]

which one Rafa uses?

[@Siloguy]

None, he uses the first generation Aeropro Drive painted to look like current ones

[@flavasavamcfly]

Pro players do not use off the rack racquets. They have customised racquets. Rafa has the same graphics like the one shown in the video and they keep changing them every year.

[@RossBayCult]

The Pure Aero Tour is probably the closest to the one Rafa actually uses.

Iam 15 years old so the babolat aero g is good to me

[@juggernauts9880]

Currently, I am using Pure Drive Lite 2015 (270gr unstrung) and really like it. If I am looking for more power from racquet, will Pure Aero Lite or Pure Aero (300gr) help?

[@tenniswarehouse]

We would probably recommend going up in weight a bit, to help get the added power from the plow through, as long as it doesn't feel to hefty, and slow down the swing. Troy, TW

The VS

[@jboyer1435]

The light is the most head heavy of the three, so it actually swings the heaviest. You should have known.

[@tenniswarehouse]

Yes, it is the most head heavy, but it is also a very light racquet with a relatively low swingweight. The Tour or the Plus swing the most heft of the bunch, in our opinion, and the swingweight pretty much reflects that. Troy, TW

Who else watches videos before buying

[@michaelenns8872]

Babolat makes it even more confusing than any other of these big brands.
