Thanks for the responses.. I'm actually considering the Pure Storm..
Don't just listen to everybody and jump for a pure storm limited or tour. Both are totally different than the 3 rackets you previously listed. I'm not saying they aren't good, but to answer your original question:
Pure drive: Very easy to use, and powerful. At the same time, can be plush feeling with the right strings. Huge sweetspot.
Aeropro drive: Very similar to the Pure drive. Not quite as lively, or foregiving. Super easy access to depth and spin.
More Control.
Pure Storm: Softer and more flexible feel. Not as much "easy" depth or spin. Slight bit light and unstable. Pretty maneuverable.
I currently use the Pure Drive, and it's extremely stiff, but that might because of my setup, with Pro Hurricane Tours on mains with a multifilament cross.. I occasionally get shoulder pain from serving and wrist pain from extended play, but that may be because of inconsistent technique.. I know a friend who uses Pure Drives and APD's, but I've never played anyone who has used a Pure Storm, so I'm not sure I would like to be the first. The Pure Drive is definitely the most popular that I see around my area.
At school, I'm regularly a doubles player, but my partner's a much stronger volley player, while I'm usually the baseline player. I hit a lot of topspin from baseline, and when I play singles, I usually stay at baseline, rather than S&V, since I'm not that great of a volley player. I only have one racket right now, so I'm considering a second, and I just felt like having one that's slightly less stiff, so my arm takes less...
Also, you stated that the Pure Drive has the
largest sweet spot? That might be a problem, because with mine, I find if I don't hit a good shot near the center, it's extremely dead and doesn't work at all... Could that possibly be the setup I use? (Pro Hurricane Tour 17 T:58 Mains, Prince Synthetic Gut Multifilament 17 T:57 Crosses) This is the first racket I've ever used, and the first setup I've ever used.. Didn't really have anyone helped me, so I kinda just researched and guessed..
Also, here's kind of an off-topic question, but I'm just gonna throw it out, since you all seem like good players.. When I play, I use a 2-H backhand, but when I hit, I get it either a bit high for my taste or it flying completely up and back down. How can I adjust it so that I get more of a topspin and be lower like a clean forehand? I hold a continental grip with my right hand and I'm usually not too conscious of what I'm really doing with my left hand.
Thanks in advance..
