@@RacketsRunnersVancouver "a lot of rackets nowadays are made with polys in mind" I wish I could contradict that but have to agree 100%. They are also designed mainly for 2HB strokes.
My game is totally based on spin. My two choices are vcore100 and Aero100. Gotta use both cuz the feeling is just so different that I never get bored.. Love It!
Could you do a 'top 5' series but on those racquets where it's your first racquet beyond the tweener. One with slightly less power and a little more control, but not quite a control racquet. Something for us new 4.0's or 4.5's that are needing more control
I'm not the biggest fan. A bit too wild for me and it has a really low swing weight so it got pushed around a little too much IMO. It may have been worth a mention but that's where my personal biases come in.
Great vid! I would've like tho a more comparison take between the racquets, I really don't know why you put a racquet higher than the others, why did you like the extreme more than the vcore? Where are the differences in playability?
Overall playability would be the #1 reason a racket is above an other. In the case of the Extreme and VCORE, the Extreme has more spin, but also better feel and control IMO.
Definitely more spin, power and precision with the aero (it’s a really good racket lol), but the Ezone does have that really good feel and user-friendliness that you just can’t get anywhere else.
Another sweet video man always super engaging and fun honestly prefer your style and energy to tennis nerd!

Thank you! I was inspired by Tennisnerd for years so learned from the best there. I'm going to keep chugging away with this channel but once we're more settled in, I may look at making my own more behind the scenes and nichey channel to go alongside it.
Hi, I'm considering getting a new racket and I'm mainly looking at the extreme tour and vcore 98. I've demoed both with unknown strings and I find vcore 98 has a lot of power and sometimes unpredictable power while extreme tour is more consistent in terms of power and control and at the same time less powerful and lower launch angle compared to vcore 98. I don't know if you've tried these two rackets with the same string or not and I wonder which one you recommend! Also I'd be interested to hear if there are any other racket in the same category that's worth trying!
You're definitely on the right track with that consistency comparison. Always go with the one you feel more comfortable with and that means going for the more consistent one IMO. The Aero 98 is also great for so many players so throw that one into the mix!
Would it be possible to do a similar comparison for racquets designed for flat (or at least more point-and-shoot) hitters? The only shot I hit with spin is my 2nd serve, and finding an 18x20 frame that doesn't feel like a sledge hammer on the swing (Yonex Vcore pro HD I'm looking at you) is getting more difficult by the day.
We don't have an Origin demo so there's not much we can do with that racket at the moment but if that changes I'll definitely look into something like that!
I’ve been trying to replace my 10+ year old racket that I had since my 13th. I had no idea it’s this hard, especially when I’m clueless about my own game. Tried to demo rackets but didn’t get much wiser from that :/ Currently trying Wilson Clash & Gravity Tour, but I wanna test Vcore 98 and aero after :)
Be careful not to go down too big of a rabbit hole. Demoing can be exciting but you can also get lost with all the playability differences between rackets. I would keep it to the Gravity Tour and Clash that you have.
@@RacketsRunnersVancouver I don’t plan to demo too many. I made a list of rackets that I was most interested in because I used a Wilson Pro Open (Spin racket). The clash and Gravity Tour was suggested by the store but didn’t like it. I had the EZONE and the Shift before that, and I’m liking the Ezone the most. Though, I’d possibly go for 98 over 100. Will choose after finishing current batch of rackets (Vcore 98, extreme Tour and Pure Aero).
I love your videos and the way you opinion your knowledge. Next challenge that apply in real life is top 5 rackets that make and intermidiate player better. That is Let s assume we have basic all tennis hits basic foot work and we want to have that racket that make us look even better with hevier hits more angle and better serves. Difficult but i think its worth it
We don't carry the Aero G so I can't speak from personal experience but it should be a good, spin frame, albeit with slightly lower performance than the top-end spin frames.
Bro, your videos are excellent, you give very good information and you support it well. I would like you to help me by giving your opinion on whether I should buy the wilson blade v8 16x19 or 18x20. I play in Peru, clay courts, and I don't play with a lot of spin, just what is necessary, but I'm afraid that the swing weight of the 18x20 is going to tire me out quickly in matches. thank you very much bro 🙏
Thank you! The most recent 18x20 has a fairly low swing weight compared to Blades of past so I don't think it would be too too much and it sounds like it would be a better string pattern for your style, especially on clay.
I demoee rackets over the summer Yonex vcore 98 vs 100 (winner 100) - yonex tend lack a bit power for me. 2023 Babolat pure aero 98 vs 100(winner: aero 98) - vice versa Head extreme mp vs tour (winner extreme mp) - tour is too inconsistent for me. I tried team version each sometimes you never know. Head and yonex one, nope. Actual total winner for is babolat pure aero team. Both me and my tennis coach felt that team is better stick than actual aero. 😂
@RacketsRunnersVancouver I am glad too. Choosing a racket is choosing a pair of shoes. Though spec might the same, when you hold it in your hands, it feels different. I am not tall or strong guy + I was missing a racket in the transition racket (275g -285g) so I picked pure aero team where I played 3 ladder games with 1 set of 8 games and won all of them with ease, so I went with aero team, plus the lightweight gave me a little bit room to mess around with lead tape to actually how mich weight I can handle. My next step is I will demo a 295g-305g rackets that I can grow into. I will choose re-demo the following (babolat pure aero 98, yonex vcore 7th gen 100 and head boom/extreme mp) and pick one one that I feel can benefit me for the long-term.
I was not even thinking about babolat before this year. This year babolat is not as stiff as previous generations. The aero has reduced Stiffness from 70 ra to 65 The aero team Stiffness is 67. I felt comfortable with it more than the ezone which i brrowed from a friend for a session and I feel ezone is the most stiff out of all the rackets I tried

More power/spin and user-friendliness on the 100 but much less directional control.
hello, please some advise regarding the Babolat Aero G, can´t see much info related this raquete, I´m beginner/intermediate player..... thank you
We don't carry the Aero G so I can't speak from personal experience but it should be a good, spin frame, albeit with slightly lower performance than the top-end spin frames.
Can you also tell us the launch angle on each of these.
Ranking them from highest launch angle to lowest:
1. Extreme MP
2. VCORE 100
3. Aero 98
4. Shift 99
5. Aero 100

Which Is the easier?
The Extreme MP
Why do you prefer the 100 over the 98'?
It has slightly better all-around playability and better spin IMO but both are fantastic.
how do yoou compare aero 100 with aero rafa(not the origin) 100
The old Aero is more spin-friendly with a much more normal swing-pattern and balance.
We need a Pure Aero 98 vs 100 comparison!!
Already got one out!
Dunlop SX 300 ❤
What about percept?
Not the most spin-friendly.
Great video. Do you think Alcaraz would ever consider switching to the extreme MP to get more spin?
😂😂😂😂
😭 I think he's just fine with his own racket.
I demoee rackets over the summer
Yonex vcore 98 vs 100 (winner 100) - yonex tend lack a bit power for me.

just saying...😁
Definitely lots of spin but not sure it cracks the Top 5 in terms of overall playability.
@@RacketsRunnersVancouver Fair enough. Needs some tweaking...

53 pounds with Alu Rough and RPM Rough!
