Hey hey! I am in the market for a tweener in the 285-295 gram range. I was wondering whether any of you have experiences with some of these rackets?
So far I've been mostly playing with 300g rackets, but they are at the very end of my range when it comes to the weight I can handle and leave me with very little room for customization. What I like about these "Team" rackets is that I can easily add an overgrip, a vibration dampener and 10g of lead exactly where I want to. I own an old 2015 Pure Drive Team and absolutely love it. Tried getting another one, but have been out of luck.
Demoing any of these isn't possible where I live. TW doesn't provide the service and local sellers don't have demo versions of lower weight models. So far I tried the Pure Aero 300g. The weight of the demo version was 331g when strung and the balance was 2pt HL. It was pretty hard to swing for me personally. However, once I did hit the ball cleanly it was evident that the racket is producing an insane amount of spin. Based on that experience, I'm slightly leaning towards the 285g version of Pure Aero.
Have any of you tried more than one of these? Thoughts?
