$259 per racquet? No thanks.
I imagine it will play similar to the Yonex EZONE 98 2020 which is $30 cheaper.
I was able to get a brand new one for $180

Wow. That’s amazing. Where did you find that deal?I was able to get a brand new one for $180
no shot. 9 times out of 10 they use an existing mold they are already accustomed to .I wonder if Ryan Harrison, Felix Auger-Al., Marco Cecchinato, and Jack Sock will use this?
Right. I wonder which pj they will use? They won’t be playing for another 6+ months anyway, so it probably won’t matter...no shot. 9 times out of 10 they use an existing mold they are already accustomed to .
looool. youre exactly right. they will be using this pj i assume. cause its the only availabe retail stick..Right. I wonder which pj they will use? They won’t be playing for another 6+ months anyway, so it probably won’t matter...

How is the grip size compared to other racquets that you have? The 3rd Gen Pure Strike I had was 4 1/4 but felt more like a 4 3/8 compared to my Wilsons
How is the stick comfort wise ? Is it similar to pa 2019?
In your experience, what racquet would you say plays similarly to the new PA VS?I found the comfort pretty good, but it is a firm racquet. However, I thought the dampening was really great. I like a stiffer set-up since I string RPM Blast 16g at 52 lbs. I really liked the set-up in this frame. Some additional weight would probably help with increased comfort. Just my opinion..

I've got a 4 1/4 and I would definitely say it feels much closer to a 3/8, mostly due to the syntec pro replacement grip. I removed the Syntec Pro replacement grip and then added a Syntec Team replacement grip and then added a vs original grip. It feels great. I've used 4 3/8 with this set-up, but this downsizing to a 4 1/4 with the grip change feels much better for my game now. It's a great stick!
Yes, he played with the new racquet/ mold in the ATP cup ( new Davids) and then switched back, he said that in during training he was playing very good with it. Probably the loss against Lakovic made him switch back, who knows if he will try it again or will go with the PJ, some pro players are very superstitious.

It seems funny to me when they are comparing this Pure Aero VS to the previous one, which for all intents and purpose was the Aero Storm. Granted, I haven’t hit with this new one, or the one it replaced (but have hit the original Aero Storm), but I imagine they are completely different racquets. No one would consider a 98 sq. in. Pure Aero as the direct successor to the Aero Storm. Completely different sticks.
'Some event'? Don't let the rabid Serbian fans who thought they'd gained revenge for the Davis Cup loss hear you call it that...Felix played some event with new racket/cosmetic pre AO and swithed back to Aerostorm mold in PA color

Thanks for the heads up, seems reviews are quite positive, can not wait to test itReview - Tennis Warehouse

Review is up
Erik and sparkles should have been on the review IMO

I would if I still had it. I do have the balance PDF which I can email to you. But the board itself is rather simple. Just a piece of melamine from home Depot, some 1"(?) Eyescrews and dowel. Took maybe 30 min to makeHey teek..can you share the blue print for your balance board??
TW review is obviously inflated. Numbers almost mirror the PDVS, which was not a good feeling/ playing racquet in stock form, IMO. I thought all the review numbers on the PDVS could be dropped by at least 3 pts.
PAVS is heavier than PDVS, as well as SW. and that SW could make a difference on stability. Also, one of the downside on PDVS is the launching angle feels like a 18/20 instead of 16/19, which sacrifices quite a lot spin for people used to standard PD. PAVS kept the spin grommets from standard PA which enables the racket maintain the good spin potential (obviously gonna be less than standard PA but for a 98 16/20 frame it does have good spin potential) And based on my friends in LA who’s already hitting the frame for a month, I believe it’s gonna be a great racket. And also 305g and average 321 SW makes it still able to be customized.

Yeah. Set it up to Dimonc Thiem specs. 11.85 oz strung. 5 pt hlFinally weighed my new VS strung with RPM Blast 15. It weighs exactly 11.5oz. That is not too bad considering spec is 11.3oz. Now I am going to change grip to an Oehm's leather and re-weigh. Wanting it a little more HL, so hopefully the Oehm's and overgrip will do the job. After I try that, I may play around with some Tungsten or lead tape. Anyone have any suggestions?
Yeah, i was truly surprised with the reviews. I thought it was barely mhhh and still didn’t care for the frame with added weightTW review is obviously inflated.

I will admit that in stock form compared to my Pure Strike 18x20 (2nd gen) it does feel mhhh...lol I am hoping with some custome work it will be better,but so far I am loving my PS. I also have 2 2013 AeroPro Drives on the way, so excited to see how they play.Never hit with 2013, but read a lot of positive feedback.Yeah, i was truly surprised with the reviews.

Thats a good buy. I looked for them myself just didn’t find some in decent shapeI will admit that in stock form compared to my Pure Strike 18x20 (2nd gen) it does feel mhhh...lol I am hoping with some custome work it will be better,but so far I am loving my PS.

I am actually enjoying it so far. I have only been able to hit a few outings, but very interesting racquet. In stock form I felt is was a little boring compared to other Babolats I have hit in the past. I did add an Oehms leather grip, and 3 grams at 12 o'clock and it plays like a completely different racquet. Has much more POP and plow-through. I may try and lower 12 o'clock to 2 grams, and put a little at 3 & 9 and see what it does for stability. All that being said.....very nice racquet overall.Any more feedback on the PaVS from those lucky enough to be able to play..?
Which string set up are you using? I was thinking to try Babolat RPM Blast Rough 16 @22kgI am actually enjoying it so far. I have only been able to hit a few outings, but very interesting racquet.

Right now I have them strung with Vokl Cyclone @ 52lbs I believe. I am going to string one soon with a pack of RPM Blast 15 that i have and see the differences.
I definitely believe RPM Blast Rough would be a good choice. You might wanna bump up from 22kg to maybe 23kg-24kg. Just my opinion
15? ouch
edit: I like 18 or 17 gauge
Thanks, I am currently playing with 23Kg in the Tecnifibre tflash atp 315, and being this one a smaller head size and denser pattern I do not want to sacrifice too much power, that´s why I am planning to go down a bit in tension, hope it works. Which racquet do you use? wondering why customizing , do you feel is too light in stock form? reason of getting this frame for me was to get something lighter but powerful and control, hope I choose correctlyRight now I have them strung with Vokl Cyclone @ 52lbs I believe.

I believe you will enjoy it. I always doctor my stuff up just to try different things out. I really like heavier racquets, and tend to make all my stuff pretty hefty. Right now playing with old POG Mid as my "go-to", but always looking for different stuff. I have a new Prestige MP and an Ezone 100 on the way to try out....lolThanks, I am currently playing with 23Kg in the Tecnifibre tflash atp 315, and being this one a smaller head size and denser pattern I do not want to sacrifice too much power, that´s why I am planning to go down a bit in tension, hope it works.
