Hi,

I am looking to change from my Babolat pure drive 2021 because I have some shoulder problems and need something with less vibrations.

I wanted to demo these 2 racquets: Speed MP 2024, Blade 100 V9, but unfortunately on TWEurope only the Speed is available for a demo.

The pure drive seems a bit too stiff for my shoulder and the power is also a bit too much since I started counterpunching more rather than pushing.

So has anyone tested these 2 specifically and ideally played with the pure drive a bit to give me some feedback on how they would compare to these 2 racquets or at least how they compare to one another?

Initially I was thinking of the pure strike as well but since Babolat is known for stiff racquets i decided to take it out but forgot to delete it from the title.

Thank you

I think the Speed MP is the ideal stick for people who are used to a Pure Drive or Aero and looking to transition to something more a little more controlled and comfortable without making a drastic change. The Blade would be a bigger change, probably too much. I’ve never heard of anyone having any comfort issues with the Speed.
