By Doc L Sholas

Being the tennis racquet of choice for Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Rafael Nadal, the new Babolat Aero pro-drive GT racquet is becoming very popular. This racquet is a unique mid-plus stick with various unique spin-generating features that will help improve your game in no time. So if you have been looking for some help defeating all your opponents, then this is the racquet for you and unlike all the other reviews this Babolat Aero pro drive gt review will explain to you exactly why this racquet is becoming more and more popular.

Using a unique hybrid material, which is made up of Tungsten & Graphite, this product offers you improved control and a little bit more solid feel as compared to its predecessors, thus making it a great racquet for all court players, baseline players and any other player who loves attacking the net. This product is perfect for anyone from the 3.5NTRP level to the professional level. A generous sweet spot provides you with a nice punch while its crisp feel will help you with precision.

This popular racquet comes updated with the cortex active technology, which links the frame and the handle with a cortex damping system. The cortex active technology helps improve your feed-backs by filtering out all the unwanted vibrations. Making this is a perfect substitute for the regulation Aeropro-drive.

This medium weight racquet blends excellent maneuverability with more stability to weather heavy-lifting. Just like its predecessors, this Aeropro drive is built with Aero-Modular technology's varying beam profile which the producer's claims will help increase the player's swing speeds and aerodynamics. This helps create more spin and power on serves and groundstrokes. In fact at net, this racquet is easy to maneuver and it feels fast.

The open 16 mains/19 crosses string pattern, the 100square inches head size plus the extra half inch (27.5inches throat to handle) & the solid throat region of this racquet makes it a spin-master delight. Although heavier at the top of its frame, this product has a light frame (weighing about 10.6ounces unstrung).

This affects your overall swing-weight and your entire game. The additional control and stability doesn't compromise on the spin control and maneuverability offered by the Babolat Aero pro drive GT racquet.

Measuring about 69centimeters in length, this medium weight tennis racquet is actually perfect for any player who uses both rapid stroke and maneuverability in his/her game.

Just like all the Aero Pro drive racquet range; this racquet is perfect for both beginners and experienced players.

What Is The Best Babolat Racket?

By Kayla Alves

Wondering what is the best Babolat racket to enhance your game? Many tennis players have no idea what to look for in a racket . Rackets are complex and come in different sizes. They also vary in thickness, materials as well as head shape and size affecting the balance, precision and power.

It is important to understand yourself as a player as well as your strengths and weakness when choosing a racket. Before purchasing a racket, ask for a demo to make sure that you are content with the weight and general feel of the racket .

The guide below will help you choose the perfect racket for your game.

Head size

Rackets with a great head size offer more power. You can choose head size from 85 to 135 square inches. The most general ones range from 95-110 square inches. Bigger racket sizes are best for beginners and smaller ones are more suitable for experienced players.

Length

A long racket gives you the power to produce powerful shot and it enables you to reach the ground strokes easily. The best racket sizes ranges from 27-29 inches. Sizes exceeding that are illegal for tournament play. Longer rackets are usually slightly lighter than the normal length rackets.

Racket weight

Weight affects power, control and maneuverability of the racket. Tennis weight ranges from 230g to 340g unstrung. The standard weight for tennis is 280g unstrung. Beginner should always play with lighter rackets . Experienced players choose heavy rackets since they provide more power and control.

String Pattern

The standard string pattern types include; 16*18 and 18*20. They are also referred to as open string and closed string pattern. Open string provides more spin potential and power, but lower control. Closed pattern provides lower pin potential and power, but more control. String durability is greater when using string pattern.

Racket Frame Stiffness

This is a very essential feature. A less stiff racket is likely to twist easily on the impact of the ball, hence, providing reduced power to the ball. A very stiff racket twists less, hence, provides more to the ball.

Grip size

The standard grip sizes ranges from, G2, G3, G4, and G5. A very big grip size can result in too much pressure on the elbow and the wrist. If you are not sure of the ideal grip size its better to choose the smaller one.

Head-light Rackets

They offer great control and are perfect for tennis players who can produce their own power.

Head-heavy Rackets

They are less maneuverable but offer greater power and stability. You can be able to add more weight using lead tape on the frame or handle.
