***The sign-up for this playtest is now CLOSED. We have all the playtesters we need. An email will be sent out by Thursday, November 15th to all who were selected. Thank you.***

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:
-groundstrokes:
-serves:
-volleys:
-serve returns:
General reaction/comments on overall performance:

Thanks,
TW Staff

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

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

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

Just a question:

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

If it truly breaks on accident, there is nothing you can do and just send it back. However, we are definitely able to tell when a racquet is broken on accident or on purpose (all of us have broken a racquet or two in our life time shhhh!).

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

Yes, a return shipping sticker will be included.

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

Yes, we will be sending out a confirmation to the selected playtesters.

I forwarded your request to Chris and Spencer. We will have to wait and see what they have to say.

When will you send out confirmation emails?

Confirmation emails will be sent out in the next couple days.

what tension will the rackets will be at?

The tension will be what we string our demos at. If the playtester selects XCel, the racquet will be strung at mid +2 lbs. If the playtester selects RPM Blast, the racquet will be strung at mid -2 lbs.

I'm imagining to myself that what if all the members chosen were all "green" members and the rest were denied or ignored. :O
