aero storm gt or aero pro drive gt

[CesarMorales92]

What are your pros and cons on these rackets

I tried both with lead tape same headligght balance but just heavier especialy the aero pro drive gt it feels like a feather. Aero storm has a nice dampened feel and control but the aero pro drive has a nice pop but still felt sorta light (needed more lead tape) ... I'm deciding to switch but I'm getting a huge discounts on one of these rackets so I can't beat the deal

I'm a 5.0 but a solid 4.5 but I'm still improving
I work hard and built
Only been playing for 3 years and a half
I play with good players so I'm improving a lot
Semi western fh (topsin drive ) modified east 2 hand back hand (flat spin drive but can spinnier of needed)

Well here are my views

Aero storm - positives
Nice dampened feel
Control
Good spin
I like the skinny look
Serve big... Pretty big

Negative
Small sweetspot
Not as stable as the aero.pro


Aero pro drive gt - positives
Big sweetspot
Suprise how much spin I get
Pretty stable with lead
Serve is still big but wish It felt heavier like the aero storm

Negative
... Just a fat racket haha



Anyways what would you prefer and why
Also what lead customization you prefer

The aero storm gt is a winner. It only needs to be a Tad lighter. Personally it felt perfect except for the weight but I placed 1 strip of a 3 in lead tape along the 3 bevel of the handle and another strip on the other side. Now perfect. Now I have the pace and depth needed

Yeah that's me and I was using the aerostorm non tour without lead. Its a much heavier shot with lead. But I have used the aeropro. It was very unstable and light against harder flatter hitters. But I like box beam frames. The aerostorm has the same amount of power as APD but with a controlled feel and you can serve huge and volley. Great all court racket especially with lead.

I just got back into tennis about a year ago. I own both the AeroPro Drive GT and Aero Storm Tour GT. At first, I liked the ASTGT better because I was hitting too many balls long with the APDGT. Later on, as my game improved, I liked the APDGT better as I was now able to keep the ball in the court and liked the extra power, bigger sweetspot, and more solid feel. I now have 2 APDGT's and rotate between them.

I can serve well with either racquet. At net, I like the APDGT because the more solid feel is great for low volleys. At the baseline, I had more confidence taking full cuts at first with the ASTGT because the APDGT was a bit overpowered for me. I've adapted by hitting heavier topspin. Now I like the APDGT better on ground strokes because it's more forgiving on off-center hits and just feels more solid. It feels as if the whole string bed is a sweetspot, and the power makes hitting winners effortless in comparison.

I tried adding lead tape to the head of the APDGT in the past, but it just didn't work for me. The balls sailed longer and the racquet was less maneuverable.

I might settle on the aero pro ... Not sure but I hope lead tape can solve the case because I have a heavy kick serve and it works with the aero storm because of the swingweight.
Aero pro swingweight feels light and I tend to over swing a lot.

Thanx ramon and marina

Anybody customized there aero pro ?

APD has more power, Storm has a better feel. Once I got used to the power of the APD I haven't been able to give it up.
