Pure Aero VS customization

I play with a Pure Aero VS and am starting to like it. Used it for 3 sessions only. I put on a leather grip and overgrip. I have 2g of lead at 12 and about 1g at 10 and 1g at 2. I could still use more plow though. My shots are not penetrating enough. I string with BHS7T at 56lbs but it has dropped to 47lbs currently. How have you guys customised your Pure Aero VS ?

if you want heavier buy the tour version. i would advise to string lower and or hybrid for more power.

Are you drunk posting this morning? The OP said 'Pure Aero VS'. There is no 'Tour' version of the VS.
Teeeeeeechnically there WAS a Pure Aero VS Tour. Was this the generation he was using? That is up for debate.

Yeah, I remember that from...4-5 year ago? But given that the OP has only just now started using it, I'm guessing it's in reference to the new one.

Besides, if you look at this posting history, last night/this morning was a doozy of a run. Tons of misspellings, indecipherable run-on sentences, incorrect info. Take this masterpiece from earlier today:
such nonsense one can only finf on american fora like twu. Lets face it, excepts a few women american tennis is nowhere, with or without clay. what the f..ck do we non americans care for the sports like baseball, basketball and american football, thwese sprots are really boring. its only about statistics and then they make a myth from sportsmen who have those statistics. the spoerts itself are utterly boring because than viewers can wlk freely to the hotdog and other snack and drink supplies. ITS ABOUT CONSUMPTION, the best atletes of some of these sports arent even allowed to attend the Olympics, which is the highest and most prestieous sporting event in the world.

Haha you got em.

I love the pure aero vs and despite what this particular forum says, I think it’s better than the regular pure aero.
I only put a few grams at 10/2 (mainly to put it above the cortex as I didn’t like the idea of it not being flush and counterbalanced in the Butt. If I were to try this racquet again I’d probably just commit to 10 grams of silicone right in the butt and probably 5-7 grams somewhere between that 10-2 area.

the only reason I moved on was the very tinny feeling I got in contact. Perhaps silicon would fix that. Since I’ve converted to the RF97 mainly because it’s amazing without customization. Perfect feel without a dampener and no need to add weight anywhere.

It sounds like it just needs more lead at top. Try running lead the length of the headguard (on both sides) and try a slightly lighter grip than the leather.

Leather grip on a vs must make it feel extremely stiff, given that it already has a very stiff feeling, also i think this racquet is meant to be played with a lot of spin

Whenever i placed lead the result was worse. To me it played best at stock form. It’s still my favourite babolat among the latest ones….. best racquet i ve played ever for counterpunching. I just needed more precision when i am in front and pushing my opponent.

You can always dropshot them at their backhand , 99% of people at amateur level can only use slice backhand cross court so you just wait for it at the net . Watching Hurkacz yesterday , made me cringe cuz he couldnt finish sitting balls at the service line.

Im about to receive my VS next week. Will try it in stock form first but I have a leather grip ready to go on plus overgrip.
String it with solinco confidential 1.25@48 maybe @50, not sure yet.
Another option is alu power 1.25 @50.
I do like head light rackets so hope it will be around 9points HL after all.

Really loved mine but started to hurt my forearm... also realized I don't play with enough spin for this racquet and was too long on too many shots. Launch angle is really high with this one. Switched back to my Regna 98 and also play a lot my Volkl V Cell 10 320 lately.

Shame coz I have 4 VS haha... might try to sell at least 2 ...

To me, the PAVS, is my racquet choice of 2022 though it wasn't re-released this year. I tried it again yesterday after a brief hiatus and it just complemented my game so well. I tried it stock and the stability is impressive.
