Overview :
Babolat's Pure Aero series builds on the iconic Aeropro Drive series. New to the line is the Tour version , at 315 grams the heaviest racket in the Pure Aero series. This racket offers extra stability and mass, combined with speed, power, and spin - ideal for players with a big, full swing.
Despite its higher weight, the Babolat Pure Aero Tour remains highly maneuverable thanks to the new Aeromodular2 frame construction and the low balance of 31.5 cm.
Technologies :
-
Aeromodular2 Frame Construction :
- This provides less air resistance, allowing you to swing faster. Despite the heavier weight, the racket remains fast in the hand.
-
Woofer Technology :
- The strings do not lie flat in the frame, but on curves. This makes it easier for the ball to grip the strings, which increases the spin.
-
Active Cortex Technology :
- This built-in damping system runs from the shaft to the grip and is now integrated into the frame, contributing to reduced air resistance and better vibration dampening.
-
FSI SPIN :
- This technology redistributes the string bed for a larger sweet spot and more interaction between frame and string. This increases ball rotation and gives you extra grip on the ball, resulting in more spin.
-
Wider Tubings at 6 and 12 O'clock :
- This gives the strings more freedom of movement, which results in even more spin and comfort on off-center hits. The larger sweet spot makes the racket more forgiving.
Playing experience :
The Babolat Pure Aero Tour is a powerful racquet designed for baseline players looking for power and spin. With an extra weight of 315 grams, it offers more stability and mass on every shot, especially on heavy topspin balls.
Compared to the regular Pure Aero, the Tour version provides more stability and mass through the ball, which helps you switch from defense to attack more easily. The racket is not only stable from the baseline, but also very maneuverable at the net. This makes it versatile in both defensive and offensive play.
Service :
When serving, you can generate a lot of power on first serves, while second serves have a lot of kick and spin. The 315 grams makes this racket heavier and therefore less suitable for everyone, but if you have enough power, the extra weight will make for heavier, more effective shots. 
The Babolat Pure Aero Tour is ideal for players looking for power, spin, and control in a heavier racquet. While it is less versatile than the lighter Pure Aero version, the extra weight provides more stability and mass for heavy topspin balls. This racquet is a great choice for players looking to dominate their opponents from the baseline.
