Attention Talk Tennis Members:

We will be sending out a very limited number of AeroPro Drive and AeroPro Lite racquets for a playtest. This playtest is only for U.S.A Talk Tennis members.

**Please indicate if you want it strung with a Babolat XCel or RPM Blast. We are not taking tension requests, nor are we taking requests for which racquet you will receive. Also, we cannot accept requests that do not include all the information listed above**

We select playtesters based on a number of factors, including past performance on playtests. Due to the very limited number of samples, we will not be able satisfy the large majority of requests. It is absolutely essential that everyone who receives a racquet posts a review and then returns the frame.

This playtest is FREE of charge. The only thing that we ask of you is to post your findings in this thread. Your review is due on December 14, 2012. We ask you return the racquet by December 20, 2012. Failure to do so will result in being charged in full for the racquet as well as being excluded from future playtests. If you do not post a review, or if your review is clearly lacking effort, you will be excluded from future playtests.

Please use the following to write your review:

Tennis experience/background:
Describe your playing style (i.e. serve & volley):
Current racquet/string:
Racquet model tested:
How many hours did you play with the racquet?
Comments on racquet performance:

Thanks,
TW Staff

Just a question:

What happens if the racquet breaks (on a mishit overhead)?? I have heard these racquets break easily.

Assuming one recieves the frame, is a return shipping sticker provided? I assume so, but just checking.

email sent... Hope I got in..... Looking forward to comparing this to the previous versions to see the differences...

TW, will you be sending out confirmation e-mails since it is a racket playtest, as opposed to a string playtest?

I'm even more excited because I've been somewhat critical of the newer versions and have heard better things about this version.

Email sent，eventhough i dont know why people do this

zapvor · 11-12-2012, 08:17 PM

come to think of it, i think TW should have playtesters post like a 3 min video review to ensure quality control.

Andyroo10567 · 11-12-2012, 09:55 PM

Hmmm. Something that caught my eye here. I'll attempt to make it. hopefully.
