Bab Pure Control vs Pure Storm Tour

[hit2mybh]

I was wondering if there were any Pure Control users that switched to the newer Pure Storm Tour and what their thoughts were. I used the Pure Control in the past and liked it, but since moved to another racket, before the new Storm version came around...

IMO, the PSTour is not like the PC of the past, both in terms of weight and stiffness. The PST is lighter than the PC and simply lacks the pop that the PC delivered. BTW, the PC "Team" version was even weaker/lighter than the older "swirly" pj version of the PC. Now... THAT was a monster of a frame!!

I dont think they both play much differently.The PST is a tad lighter and less stiff

I couldn't agree more. I'm still working through my stock of 4 'swirly' frames, always trolling **** & here for a few more.
I tried the Storm when it first came out and was really disappointed. It lacked the stability of the original Pure Control as well as the other things mentioned above. If you are looking for that heft & stiffness, your best bet is the AeroPro Control, if you can make it past the funky throat design.
