Difference between Pure Drive Roddick and AeroPro Drive?

[counterfeit25]

I am thinking of changing to the AeroPro Drive from my Pure Drive Roddick, so can anyone provide me with some info on the differences?

I have played with both rackets and personally I got more spin and control on the aeropro drive and slightly more power on PD roddick. I think the aeropro drive is the better racket but it depends on your game and whether you hit flat or with more topspin?

I recently hit with both; the plow and stability of the Roddick is much greater, and power is greater as well. One sees people on this board trying to figure out where to add lead to the APD; in essence they're trying to build a Roddick, which needs no customization. APD easier to whip through the ball with less weight and SW, a better choice for people who are frequently late on their swing.

The APD feels lighter than the PDR. The PDR is also head heavy, I've hit with them both and I enjoyed them both. The APD felt a little easier to move around but I did not like serving with it at all. The grip shape felt really weird to me, but I know people that absolutely love it. I went with the PDR because it just felt more solid than the APD. I'm interested in demoing the new one w/ cortex, maybe it will be a little more solid like the PDR. Grab you a demo if you can, you might really like it.
