This is for a friend.
He's one of those guys that plays with whatever his coach puts in his hands. He broke his strings, and played with a friend's racket. He said he played better, but cant explain why, just saying that he liked the new racket better (nPro) for no apparent reason.
His coach gave him three Babolats to try: Babolat Aeropro Cortex, Pure Drive Roddick Plus, and a red one, which I assume is the pure storm tour (as these are all new models). He didn't like the pure storm tour at all, liked the Aeropro Cortex much better, and didn't get to hit a lot with the Pure Drive.
As the title says, he's coming from an nPro Surge X.
Based on this limited info, I need your input. He's looking for my advice, and I don't really know what to tell him, because he's so unspecific about why one racket is better than the other.
He's a very aggressive power player, Western forehand, two handed backhand, flat first serve, kick second serve. His serve is his biggest asset, it's been clocked in the 120's once.
