Hey guys! I need some help regarding the following rackets:
Babolat Pure Strike 3rd (16x19) vs Head Gravity MP vs Pure aero Nadal 2021 vs Prince Textreme tour 100p.
In which one will it be possible to combine versatility and greater comfort?
First off, these are all very different sticks for different styles of play.
The Pure Strike and the Aero 21 are way, way down the list for comfort. If you have arm or shoulder issues, I would avoid those.
However, those two will give you good power and easy access to spin. The Aero is a spin monster, and requires you to use spin for proper control.
The Strike can hit flat all day long if needs be, tho. And when you need spin or power, it just says, 'OK, Boss!'.
The Gravity MP is basically a wet noodle. It's on the opposite spectrum from the Aero(though the Aero 23 is markedly less firm than the 21).
The MP is a 16x20, the pattern is still fairly open with 6 mains through the throat. However, this really doesn't give much spin, but it has decent control. Fairly low powered.
The 100P has a very open pattern for an 18X20, and the highest launch angle of any 18X20 I have ever tried. Control a bit better than all the others except the Strike.
The 100P has, by far in my opinion, the best feel of the bunch. All Prince Textreme Tours have great feel. I would also say the power and spin may actually be a bit up from that MP, too.
If you are not averse to using lead, these all benefit from adding it into the hoop. I had to put lead in the MP's throat or the noodle feel would bother me.
Hell, I have lead in my Pure Strike throat, so mebbe it doesn't mean much...I like a solid stick.
