1690 RPM is AVG. Six Zero Black Diamond Power provides more Spin 2217 RPM and the same power costing you $180 USD. I'm not a fan of Grit Paint. The Selkirks are a one night stand, after that it wears pretty fast.
AERO¹ uses coefficient of friction. Definitely depends on your technique as well as it plays more like a racquet than a paddle. Tennis style play does get wicked spin.
@@jonnygibaud7954 "Coefficient of friction"? If there is a break in period like there is with the Gearbox Pro, then someone needs to confirm. However, the combination of Coefficient of friction and GRIT paint would still see a significant loss of RPM much more quickly. Rafa already put together the Data Analysis which I really appreciate unlike other reviewers who go off of FEEL and what they THINK. I compared it to the other data available. the AERO would be under performing for me regardless of my tennis background. I'd use the Bread & Butter Filth over this paddle because the Peel Ply-Coarse will last long than the GRIT paint. It also has 200 more RPM and the same power, cost $165, and I wouldn't have to worry about wasting precious time and $$$ that will only last me maybe a few weeks or a month. To be fair, I have yet to lose any money, some companies return and warranties are really good, some not so much. We are obviously two types of consumers, I guess pick a paddle that'll make you happy.
@@jonnygibaud7954 I have a tennis background, Coefficient of friction or not, GRIT Pain will still wear much faster than than Peel Ply-Coarse or Peel Ply-Fine. RPM loss will be significant as well. 1690 RPM isn't wicked spin compared to other paddles above 1600 RPM.
Valid point. The spin is definitely better but the feel of the BD is just way different and closer to an all-court. This racquet has a target audience for sure and it's not anyone who prefers the BD feel! Glad you've figured out what works for you
@@pickleballtechdude yeah I was wondering how long did it take for them to get theirs and how’s dealing with the company. I kind of took a leap of faith with an impulse purchase lol.
@@DoLo_XO I have 2 of them currently. I got them on their initial launch. I heard they basically sold out in the first day and are having to make a ton more paddles. If you just ordered yours, you'll get the one with better grip and grit probably. You should let me know what you think of it. Also let me know how long it takes, i just checked the website and it says that they are on backorder.
AERO This 'utensil' certainly looks promising,. The name inevitably reminds me of the Babolat Pure Aero, which all-time greats like Rafa Nadal endorse, and which great players like Carlos Alcaraz use to this day. That tennis racket is one of the most spin-friendly rackets you can buy, and, if I recall correctly, someone who really knows how to utilize it -- like Nadal -- can get between 3000 to upwards of 5000 RPM's on his shots with it‼
100% true this racquet really fits the tennis player archetype - there's no paddle on the market to my knowledge that gets more than 2500 RPM bc of the restrictions on grit but hopefully in the future we'll see something like that HAHA
AERO!!! I’m sure you’ve already given away the paddle, I mean racket!! But just in case! I’d love to see how this performs in my upcoming Singles tournament!
An Aero 1 would be fun to try out. I'm surprised it took a start-up company to bring this concept to market first. We've got several tennis racquet companies vying for market share, and they know how to make carbon frames all day long.
Aero by OM!!!! I have a viva pro gen2 - legacy pro - just ordered the hurache, but I sure would love to own the AERO. All my paddles cost me $130. $225 for a paddle is just too much for me so to win it will be awesome. If your a rec player and want a great paddle the Hudef Newera is so extremely powerful the USPA won't approve it. I love it.
The Viva Pro G2 is my current singles paddle - love that thing. Hurache is a decent paddle definitely oriented towards control in my eyes, but certainly those paddles are in a more affordable price range! This racquet is 100% more oriented for it's combo of power and swing speed so it's up to personal style there :)
Aero. Alright I had left a comment before watching the video, which I've since deleted. It is indeed hard to find a review by someone who isn't a content creator, but you really seemed objective. Still, I don't want to "try" a paddle for $225, but I really really really, as an ex tennis player, want to try this one compared to most the other brands. I'm quite happy with my Vatic Pro and some of my chinese imitations i've bought, but i've felt the need to hit harder lately.
Thanks for the kind words! I talk about the good and the bad of every paddle I touch - honesty is my only policy and the odds you ever see me "promote" a paddle for views and orders is 0%. Vatic Pro is one of the best bang for your buck paddles out there and that's a fact. This racquet definitely has a more specific target group!
Wish the OM had a "peel ply" and not paint grit for the face. I ordered the PKKL Spin Grit sheet and hope to see if it will work on Paint Grit paddles. AERO
Solid review! I got my hands on a first gen Aero1 and can confirm basically everything you said. Being able to drive the ball with confidence that I could get it to dip was what I loved most. I definitely started speed ups way more than I used to ( both good and bad probably😂😂😂) and was surprised at how many passing shots were falling just inside the line. Really good feeling. I want to get the next version with increased grit for sure as I felt there was room for more spin control. Overall really great racquet, can’t wait to see what they come out with next!
Grit has definitely lasted through 12-15 hours of gameplay. Dinking and drops were admittedly a little difficult because this is definitely a power-oriented paddle. Just takes some time to get used to in the soft game!
90% or more of companies make paddles from pre-existing catalogs of shapes and materials. You can find all of Joola/Selkirk/6.0, etc. paddles on Alibaba which is why so many other companies copy them 🫠

True even Catherine Parenteau said she uses a new paddle every tournament because the spin on her paddle has degraded.

It's a paddle, not a racket. Rackets have strings. Paddles are solid surface.
I have been able to try this racquet out and I won’t play with anything else.
Glad you found the one 😍
I just bought this paddle, does anyone else have it
Seems like a couple other people in the comments have enjoyed it!

Best of luck
I’ve had the chance to play with this racquet and I really enjoyed it!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!!
I challenge you to a doubles match. Mookie Betts is my partner.
@@paulmartin6329 Mookie Betts??? Name a time and place that guy is a beast
I've been looking for a new paddle that is just different from the rest and the Aero might be the one. Nice review
Thanks for the kind words!
If it looks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, it’s a … racquet!!
i can't wait to try this damn
Hope you enjoy!
Love my Aero so far although I'm sad to hear I have less spin because I purchased early 😢
It is a bummer - producing different batches with different grits is something a lot of companies do though it's really luck of the draw :/

Great racquet - I was so lucky to get one. Def has the feel of a Porsche -> it hits HARD
Awesome to hear your experience with it!
The adidas metal bone is made very similar. The major difference is the core. The adidas came out before this one.
AERO, would really like to try this racquet (paddle)
Good luck!

I’ve only seen one in the wild. I just can’t get over the spray on grit.
AERO. I could use a paddle that is quick at the line for the fire drill game.
Would love to try/win an aero1
Hopefully you do!
Wish the OM had a "peel ply" and not paint grit for the face. I ordered the PKKL Spin Grit sheet and hope to see if it will work on Paint Grit paddles. AERO
From what I understand the PIKKL grit sheets are only approved for use on PIKKL paddles
@@pickleballtechdude Well I'm strickly a REC player so that doesn't bother me. I plan to put the skin a another brand paddle as a experiment.
Make a video using this paddle while playing against others.
Amazing racquet. Love it.
Glad to hear that!
So keen to try this when I am in the US next month!
Let us know your thoughts!
Pumped to try this thing out!
Let us know how it goes!

Are you going to review it also?

How is the dinking and drops with it? Has the spray on grit lasted?
Grit has definitely lasted through 12-15 hours of gameplay. Dinking and drops were admittedly a little difficult because this is definitely a power-oriented paddle. Just takes some time to get used to in the soft game!
This is a generic chinese catalog paddle with it's a Racquet marketing!
