wasnt the red only the pure drive?
if its the one with cortex might be the aerostorm.

pictures???!??!?

 

[dainova]

Yes, it's red , all writings located like on yellow;
"aeroprodrive" written together, also featuring:
aero modular technology,woofer, engineering in france.
some sticker inside the throat are not even,
serial KY652441 (not hologram):

Pattern: 16x19, I had old string job there which i think is wrong:
skip Top 7,9; Bottom 7,9. on this pattern last main is bit like fan.

Correct (allinghed) should be I think: skip top 8, bottom 7,9.

Thanks for info:
now...it is starting to smell...I heard they ran off a few APDs but this IS strange?!?

 

[cork_screw]

it's called the aerostorm.

 

[Wes_Loves_Dunlop]

he said it says aeroprodrive on the throat.
so it cant be aero storm

 

[VamosSR]

since I don't see pics, it's likely the OP is just f**ing with us.. although, if true, a 135 years APD would be pretty awesome! haha

The thickness of the frame makes it look like a Aero pro drive. The top grommets are old Babolat grommets. At the throat it looks like the original aero pro.

Dainova: if you could take pictures of your racquet next to a retail aero pro drive that would be helpful for us to figure out where your racquet came from. Also if you don't mind telling us where you got it? that would be helpful also.

Before I say that it is fake, which I am concluding at this point, the other possibility is that it is a pro stock frame.

 

[brownbearfalling]

Also I must say that I wish all aero pros where red or came in different colors

 

[Zefer]

I do think it looks fake, or very rare. Never seen anything like it before: AeroPro Drive frame, older generation grommets and Aero Storm paintjob; quite a mismatch.

Tx, all

+ and string pattern looks weird.
At my opinion to make it right: i.e to start X from 8th and keep Mains straight you have to skip top 8, and bottom 7,9 !!!
could not locate anythinkg like this on bblt.com or around.

I'll try to weight it and get more history if pssbl from owner.

 

[Zefer]

How does it balance?

 

[agassi fan]

it's a fake because it looks like an aerostorm but it does not say that and the hologram is in Chinese writing

 

[nCode747]

might be a babolat factory screw up

I hope the quality control isn't that bad.

Owner said its from www.
I got this racket for stringing

 

[star 5 15]

definitely a fake. the fake woofers is a dead give a away. No doubt. I'm positive that's a fake.

 

[flashfire276]

It really is a fake. If you look at the part that says Cortex System, the swirls aren't exactly even. The bumper is an older version, which they don't make anymore. The Babolat warranty sticker is on the wrong side of the throat (it's supposed to be right under the silver sticker that says the grip size on the other side of the throat). Babolat doesn't make those silvery holograms anymore (I think they were called One Star or something along that). The plastic piece of the Cortex doesn't look like it "caves in". And of course, this is the Aero Storm paintjob.

Man, I really miss the red paintjobs for the Aero Storm. Why did they have to make the new GT models yellow?

Yes you are right. If it was an authentic racquet, you would only have to skip 1 hole on each side for the mains. The string in the picture is not correct. I hate to say that the racquet is fake. It is the worse when you have to tell a customer that their racquet is fake.

 

[defrule]

Fake or not that paintjob rocks!

 

[flashfire276]

Fake or not that paintjob rocks!

Then get the Aero Storm!

 

[dainova]

Yes, it's bought for $90 as a "good deal" from www.

 

[racquetfreak]

spontaneous mutation or apd/ast hybrid offspring

 

[ChevyTennis]

Agreed, its a fake!

stringing for the aeropro drive is skip 8h and 8t, not 7 and 9 on the bottom...and that definitely looks like the shape of an aeropro drive i have one definitely not a storm storm's are thinner...

 

[karophiteblu]

my babolat aeropro drive cortex and all my friends' do not have a hologram. and they got theirs from a legitimate retailer at full price.
