Can't give details yet. But in my limited experience, I feel it plays softer (RPM 17 @ 48 lbs on Sensor Expert).

That is subjective to the user. Some people prefer thicker strings, some people prefer thinner strings.

Do you think if Origin was made in 18 G, would it give you more power ?

Sir Babolat.
Since you had chance to hit with this New aeropro, was it just as easy to swing as the 2013 version ? Did it feel about the same to you on maneuverability and swingweight ? I trust you on this since you seem to have very good feel for the racket.

more racket head speed

Does this mean Swingweight is even lighter now ? or just the maneuverability has been improved somehow or by making the frame more headlight ? Those are only ways I know how a racket manufacturer can increase the racket head speed on the frame. Thanks

The best specs were the AST's. Just awesome. Not sure Im down with low SW Aeros. I remember when they used to be around 330 and could plow the ball.

that is right. but most amateurs are 4.0's and 3.5's and these guys play a lot of doubles with some singles. and 90 % plus of these guys want SW around 315-320.

Thx!
If in 2017 will be release please paint it different that APD/PureAero because of that in the past you killed it.

Hey Daniel, so I saw the paintjob of the new Aero, its alright looking I think. Any chance that there will be versions sold with the paintjob Rafa used in Monte Carlo? Like is that the tour version pj maybe?

Oh well, doesnt hurt to ask. I've been on and off with my own Aero's (2013s) for the past three years. Its a love/dislike relationship lol. Cant wait to try out the new version!

Good question. and too bad because I know that would have sold.
I'll just buy a couple more Originals. would have liked to get the Nadal PJ

we go with the feedback from a majority of the peolpe we present to... the cosmetic we selected was a clear favorite
Anyone here play with the PC 95+ and can give some feedback on it? The Pure Control line is more my thing as I prefer classic frames with some flex. A comparison to a Pure Drive Roddick would be good as I currently have one in my racket rotation. Thanks.very hard to come by in the UK but I am able to demo from TW Europe which is crazy really. I can get a racket delivered here from Freiberg in 3 days. Some of the UK retailers take longer than that.

Understood Daniel. It's just that PJ was incredible! I'm more a Wilson guy (with the Aero being one of my fave runner-ups) but that Aero looked just so purposeful. I'll say it's my fave PJ ever.
Anyhow you guys are in the business of making and selling racquets and sports equipment and have to go with the majority.
If it ever comes out as a special edition I would love to get one...but I won't hold my breath

That would be a pretty cool alternative. Or maybe it could be used as a possible paintjob if Babolat ever tried out that custom racquet thing that HEAD does.

As long as they play great and is Easy to swing, it really doesn't matter what colorways they have. To play well and better tennis,,,,isn't that what we really want from getting a new tennis racket.............

True, the racquets performance on court is paramount. But a great PJ can't hurt.

We have an operation planned to give away 10 of Nadal's spec framed (the black ones he was using on tour)...
stay tuned (long term) on our social media channels

The PC+ and Pure Drive Roddick are very different.
Roddick = more power, more spin
PC+ = more feel, more comfort, more control, more maneuverability

WOW! I'll keep my eyes peeled - very cool of you and Babolat Daniel!!

Thanks for the feed back. Will look into getting a PC95+ demo. There is zero availability for this frame in the UK. Any reason why?
I like the sound of the PC more than the Roddick. Bang on by the way as I have one. Tons of power and spin but not much in the way of feel.

That is really awesome! Gonna be keeping our eyes out!
Question for @babolat official: I bought 2 x 18x20 pure strikes pre strung from the factory with black xcel 16g and I really enjoyed this string. When the frames needed re-stringing I bought a pack of the black xcel 16g (French open) TWICE and had it strung at 57lbs and 60lbs on each occasion, and both times this re-string felt NOTHING like the xcel that was pre-strung in the the frames?? Do you use a different type of xcel when factory stringing to the string sets sold in packs??
That's great Daniel.
I wish there were a channel for us to acquire used pro items. (ie. charity auction, etc) I've always wanted to acquire a signed Li Na Pure Drive. I've tried to use her (Li Na) as a role model for my daughter since she (my daughter) is such a loyal Pure Drive fanatic.
Sometimes a symbol can inspire a junior athlete when the going gets tough (which seems to happen too often) and remind them of the virtues of being a Champion in defeat and victory.
IMHO, Babolat has received bargains by endorsing Li Na & Caroline Wozniacki. I've use their virtuous examples with my daughter too many times to count!

Mr. Babolat.

Is the cosmetic of the new Aeropro drive 2015/2016 black and neon green/yellow like the picture on reddit?
Great idea to give away Nadal spec (Monte Carlo) aeropro black rackets! Fantastic paint job!

he prefers the 2012 Pure Drive (I believe it is a Roddick)

I have both the Roddick and the PC95+ and like them both for different reasons.
Roddick-go to racket for competition and matches.
PC 95+- for just hitting around, warming up and working on my ball striking, plus you have to supply the power and is a lot less wear and tear on the joints. Sweet spot is smaller to.

Thanks Daniel. I have a demo of both the PC95+ and PC Tour on their way from TW Europe. Excited to give them both a try.
thanks for the comparison. Useful to know.

I checked with the team. The string that says Xcel is actually Xcel. With shipping from factory, to warehouse, to store...it can be a couple months since the racket was strung. This greatly changes the performance of the string.

which string do you think is most powerful polyester you sell right now ?
Babolat Official
Hall of Fame
Polyesters are powerful. Of the ones we sell, probably RPM Blast or RPM Team. But that's a personal anecdote.
If power is a concern, a hybrid with VS Gut or Origin is a much better option.

Bionic Poster
Thank you. I am sorry but what I really meant was I am trying to get more power while maintaining same massive spin that poly provides. so I thought only way to do that is to get a poly that is most powerful....
