Aeropro drive 2011
I liked the maneuverability it offered, and I was easily keeping my volleys deep in the court. He said, "As with the Cortex version of this racquet, volleys felt solid and had a good blend of touch and put away power. Up at net, our TW team enjoyed the AeroPro Drive GT the most for its assistance in putting shots away with power and accuracy. On the other hand, I had some trouble finding my range depth wise, and it seemed like this one offered a little bit more power, compared to my version." Volleys - Score: 79 I definitely felt like I got a more solid and comfortable hit from this version than the Cortex version, and I was impressed by the stability I found when the ball was mis-hit slightly. Sean uses the previous Cortex version of the AeroPro Drive and felt the GT offered a solid update, saying, "I felt like the new GT technology was more apparent on my forehand and backhand than any other shot. Overall, this racquet was comfortable and easy to use from the baseline." Shots were easily sent deep into the court, making it easier to get me a short mid-court ball I could attack. In general, I like to take the ball on the rise and use my opponent's power, but I felt the racquet's stiffness allowed me to generate plenty of pop on my own. As a player who prefers to hit through the ball, what impressed me the most about the AeroPro Drive GT was the power level. Though I'm not a player who hits with heavy topspin, I did find spin there whenever I wanted it. All other aspects, such as power, spin and maneuverability felt on par, so it really came down to feel, and this new GT version won in that department."īeing more aggressive from the baseline was Tiffani, saying, "The AeroPro Drive in all its iterations is known as an extremely spin-friendly racquet, and I found this GT version to be no different. For me, this version has the best feel of all of the AeroPro Drives. I was finding some nice touch and felt confident moving the ball around, and hitting drop shots.
I enjoyed the feel of this racquet, and it felt pretty solid considering its low weight and stiff frame design. With a co-poly I could also take big cuts at the ball without fear of over-hitting.
I preferred this one strung with a co-poly string, as it allowed me to maximize spin. "I was getting lots of pace on shots, and all the spin helped me keep my shots within the lines. "As with previous versions of the AeroPro Drive, this GT version impressed me immediately with spin and power," said Chris. When I was able to really connect on one, it would be a very dirty slice indeed! Maneuverability was never an issue because it was light enough that I could muscle the racquet into place if I had to." I did find that I was floating more of my slices than I'm used to. Even on my backhand, which is my considerably weaker side, I was able to hit occasional winners. I was able to hit heavy shots with great pace and depth. The increase in power I get from this stick versus my own is quite noticeable. I forgot how much I love them for groundstrokes. He said, "It's been some time since I've last hit with the AeroPro Drive racquets. Jason was reminded of how much he enjoyed the AeroPro Drive line. What impressed our playtesters the most about the AeroPro Drive GT was the power and access to spin from the baseline. With that in mind we hit the courts for a month-long playtest. More power, more stability and more control! Sounds pretty cool to us. The goal of adding GT to the construction is to improve stability, power and control. This is the third version of Rafa's racquet and it's been updated with Graphite Tungsten (GT). Here we put the latest version, the AeroPro Drive GT, to the test. How can anyone look at a Babolat AeroPro Drive and not be reminded of the unbelievable spin creation and shot-making prowess of Rafa? We certainly can't. With the rise of Spain's No.1 player, we can surely add Rafael Nadal to that list. When thinking about such a list, the racquets of Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi and John McEnroe come to mind.

There are times when a racquet becomes so closely linked to the pro player who endorses it that it's almost impossible to think about the racquet without conjuring up images of the player.
