Pure Aero vs Yonex DR100

[nikolai241]

I want to play one of these rackets this season.

I tried the Pure Aero 1 month.
Very nice power and very nice service.
I also think my two handed backhand is so much better because of this stick.
Sometimes i miss some control, i string it with RPM Blast/ VS Touch.


The last weeks i read a lot of reviews about the DR 98 and DR100.
I think the DR100 is the better option for me, because i am club level player.

Can anyone please compare the Pure Aero and the Yonex DR100.

Which one is the better stick for a clublevel player with 2 handed backhand?

Greets and thanks

If you have control issue with the PA, you're gonna have control issue with the DR 100. I think the culprit is the VS Touch. What made you decide to put natural gut in an already powerful tweener? Perhaps a full bed of low-powered poly might solve the problem.

The better racquet is the one that you play better - and feel more confident - with. The PA and DR100 are in the same class of racquet, so are aiming at the same audience, and share some features. But which one is better for you is up to you. Try to demo the DR100 and make your own comparison. If you already own the PA and are broadly happy with it, by all means try a string change, or change of tension, and see if that works. Go to your stringer and ask for a recommendation.

Note: If you have played a lot over the month then the RPM Blast you have may be at the end of its useful life. Poly often doesn't break, but it does lose tension and with that it loses control. So this could just be the result of that. Most polys lose playability after about 10 hours of play. So perhaps it's time for a restring anyway. PS: Putting gut in the cross is expensive because the poly will die long before the gut, and the gut costs a lot of money. So consider an alternative to that.

There is no "better". It's what works better for you. There is no way for any of us here to know that.
Personally I think the DR100 has better control and is a little softer feeling.

Topspin also helps to control the extra power natural gut adds to the racquet. I don't have any problems, but I probably don't hit as hard as other guys do
