So you know him personally. ?I recently got a couple of this in hand just because of him lol. Felix and I both played with original strike for entire junior year, and neither of us liked the P17. Just wanna see why he switched to this PAVS lol.

I’m wondering what weight and balance. That’s what this thread is trying to figure out.
or it could be a stock tour?
They can’t be too much diff. A mold is a mold. More importantly here we need to find weight and balance. What grip shape do you think he’s using ?
what kind of problem are you having ? maybe you should try the Pure drive 2018 ?
Manufacturer HQ molded handle to his hand and preference. Frame structure enhanced for more comfort. Wish I had the weight and balance now, my info is very reliable ;-) but dates back some months, things may have evolved since.
I do find the original Aero storm that shares the same mold to be comfy enough. Certainly with Blast rough strings that are rather soft.
It looks like Grip 1 size, super slim!
No one on men’s tour uses 4 1/8 grip oneIt looks like Grip 1 size, super slim!
I have heard rumors in the past that is the size of Rafa’s grip without his overgrip.
Nope. He uses L2.
I’m assuming he must be using it with steric weight of at least 11.7 or above. It would have zero power with anything less
No need to split hairs. The only difference is the weight. Furthermore the difference with the original Aero storm is the elimination of visible cortex, which was a gimmick anyway. These racquets swing faster than Auropro drive but need low tension or powerfull string to make them playable like Sock does for years.
Wouldn't be surprised if it's just the red RPM Rough. Maybe he switched because it looks cooler in the FO Pure Aero colorway.
Pure Aero VS
I dont believe that, because than they should play baseball. Building up their grip like that would result in grips without any bevels like a round baseball bat.
You already asked this question before and it was already answered
We are talking no factory grip just the beveled pallet shape with 1.25-1.5mm of lead tape, bevels are clearly still there.
I do not think many play with 1.25-1.5 mms of lead tape where they hold the racket.We are talking no factory grip just the beveled pallet shape with 1.25-1.5mm of lead tape, bevels are clearly still there.
Even if you cant tell what grip you are using even without significant bevels and your opposite hand not guiding racquet
as well then even a guide dog wouldnt couldnt help you!
Some times lead is wrapped from the top of the grip down, but you are right, it doesn't usually cover where they hold the racquet
Here are a few photos of Felix Auger Aliassime's rackets taken recently:
The rackets are standard length (686mm) and the unstrung weight and balance (including overgrip) is 314g and 32.0cm.
His string setup was:
Mains - Babolat RPM Blast Rough 16 (1.30) @ 23.0 KGS
Crosses - Babolat RPM Blast Rough 16 (1.30) @ 23.0 KGS
Hope this can be of help,
