    I’ve always been intrigued with Prince, from what I hear they make quality rackets, however the marketing has failed them

      I use the phantoms and they're fantastic rackets. Largely spin friendly, very arm friendly and a lot of control.

      @jerome_morrow 3 года назад +3

      Sounds like a good idea, until one has to cover the HEADache of multiple silos with multiple frames that have overlapping specs! Babolat has the clearest system of differentiation for its racquets.
      0:58 - Doesn’t get any simpler than that! Power, Spin, Control; then choose the weight that suits.

    I tried many brands throughout the years, recently Head and Snauwaert... but the Babolat pure drive I have started to use recently with 24kg tension (Luxilon/wilson strings) is a much better match for my game. I am just amazed by the among of control and power this combination offers with very little muscle pain so far.

    played with pure storm for 15 yers. recently switched to pure strike. pure storm much harder to generate power, better for felling and net play. basically they increased power in pure strike but i like it. observed because of switch i became more baseline player- previously very aggressive at the net.

    I have a really good racket idea for babolat.
    A mixture of all three for players:
    1. They should add the AeroModular3 shape for this racket. It will give a boost in spin overall since no modern player can win without involvement of heavy spin.
    2. They should add “FSI Power” and “FSI Spin” together. By putting spin grommets in the mains (12 and 6) and diamond shape grommets (for more power) in the crosses. This is a boost in both the aspects of the modern game, spin and power.
    3. Woofer System for better connection with the ball.
    4. A 16x19 or 18x20 (according to player’s choice) or increase either “spin and power” or “control”.
    5. The flex rating in my opinion should be lower (around 63 or 64) since this racket will need more control and also because professional players usually want to put their own power into the shots and ground strokes to prevent hitting long.
    6. Babolat should create a new string with this racket. It will have 5 spikes and the spaces between them will be layered to increase spin while not loosing control and power.
    7. Approximate racket weight can be 305 grams so that there is more control but players strength will be tested in using the racket.
    I agree this will be a rather expensive racket with all the technologies put in but it will be a worthy expenditure for professionals but not beginners, recreational players or intermediates.

    Somewhat new to tennis. Got two Pure Aero rackets and just bought a Pure Strike. I'm trying to copy Nadal's heavy topspin forehand because it's a good match for the Pure Aero rackets. So far I'm liking the Pure Strike even better. More control and just feels more plush coming off the stringbed. And I feel like I get plenty of spin. Maybe it's the strings. the Pure Aero rackets have RPM Blast and the Pure Strike has Hyper G. So far I like the Pure Aero rackets. But I love the Pure Strike.

    • @AndrewBaba
      @AndrewBaba 6 месяцев назад +1

      if you new to tennis sell pure strike racket not for you yet, I would recommend to new players to try pure drive or pure drive lite. easy to swing, good power helping in defence to new tennis players and strong serve out of it. good racket for fun. never played with aero so not sure about it

    Babolat used to be good but the tennis market has moved on with so many manufactures offering the same / similar tweener style racquets but with much much better comfort. Babolat are stuck in the past with their elbow inducing offerings.

    Hello! Thanks for all the advice! I started to follow your channell and find it super helpful. My question is this: I bought a Pure Aero Rafa, tried 1 hour with a Multifilament and, because I like to hit "hard" the ball, the Top Spin (with multi) did not work out very well. I put, immediately, RPM Blast (monofilament), ask for 55 pounds of tension, but they put less doing a poor job, and it definetely Top Spin got better. In my opinion it was probably 50 pounds of tension. If I get it to 55 I will be ok, I think. But... can I get more control if i ad weight? And where shoud I add it? Will SPIN be the same? Thank you. You are a master!!

    Hello. I am interested in such an important issue for me. I have an interest in two rackets, but the problem is that I do not have the opportunity to hold them in my hands and evaluate. I would like to know if there is a big difference between them and what exactly. that according to the data they differ little or maybe I'm wrong in something. Babolat Pure Strike Lite / Wilson Blade 100UL V7.0. I have an attacking style of play, I play more on the back line, but I also like to go to the net, depending on the situation, I have a flat shot, left-handed.
