need more control from pure aero

guys, need a little advise on getting more control out of the aero 2021 version. tends to fly using tour bite 16 at 50. any thoughts to customize for tad more control?

While many find it harder to believe, I'd recommend dropping tension with poly to around 44lbs and see if that helps. It may seem counterintuitive but give it a try.

Otherwise try a less powerful string

Do you play with a lot of topspin? Two things to try are to drop the tension like @Soundbyte said above and see if that gives you more pocketing and grip for spin. Another approach is go to a thinner gauge poly for more bite but raise the tension to keep the power level down.

If you are already playing a thick, stiff poly and not getting the control you want, you don't have many things to try before I'd say go to a more control-oriented frame. You could go to a high tension and even more dead string, but you are really risking your arm health that way.

I have my 2023 PA strung at 42 lbs with Hyper G soft and can confirm this setup isn't great for flat hitters. You need to hit with a lot of spin to keep the ball in the court but as a person that had to give up my 21 PD because of arm issues (even with multifilament strings) I can say that I have no elbow issues on the new PA at this tension.

Basically either learning to hit with more topspin, changing the string to reduce pop or a combination.
