Babolat Aero Pro Drive (Rafael Nadal's Tennis Racket) - Tennis Express Racket Reviews

[ddreamax]

plays great with poly or poly crossed w/ syn gut. And just the perfect weight. Just heavy enough to flick without being too light to lean into

[Wright951]

nahh rpm blast is a tasty set of strings

[4liveHsv]

i play this racket and i think it is the best<3

[7daniel49]

terrible at reducing vibrations.

[With2Rs]

aero storm tour. more wight, thinner beam, smaller head, nice.

[sokerhead]

u need a glass of whisky

[TheCrosby8]

The Gt's worse then the Cortex I find

[imavaughanstar]

@TheCrosby8 out of curiousity for what reasons?

[paardelul300]

on eurosport there was a program about this racket and they said it weighed 35kg

is that possible?

[ilmelangolo]

THIS IS NOT A REVIEW!!!!!!!!

you are just reading the specs...

every video is the same, for every racquet...

BORING & USELESS!!!!!!!!!!!

[eragon1730]

olddddddddddddddd! aeropro drive gt's coming out booyyyy

[hullcitybarnett]

cant wait im gettin this racket for £160 with a 6 racket bag cant wait its comin in a few days :)

[OMGitsBRYANLEE]

if u were to compare the aeropro drive and the puredrive gt, wat would be the difference?

[305Andyy305]

@OMGitsBRYANLEE It would have more power and thats it

[sandzak16]

no thats not true he used the old one without cortex

from 04-07

from then till now he's using the one with cortex

i think after the AO 10 he's changing his raquet

[ibo911]

is it gd can some one tell mw plzs and give me detail thanks

[fanjiatia]

It is very good. It has great control and spin. The pace, spin and control you can get on groundstrokes is probably the best part of this racquet. The cortex is also very comfortable. You need to swing hard and fast like nadal to get the best results. On serves, spin and control are the highlights. On volleys, control and stability is good. Overall, this is the real treat for an all courter, counter puncher or baseliner. In my opinion, it's the best racquet for groundstrokes.

[momay69]

Bought one last month and I loved it. I want another one.

Do they have an update on the aeropro drive? A GT version perhaps? I can wait a little bit.

[G3M333]

supposedly the APD GT is coming out for the 2010 clay court season(im not certain)

[dodododa]

What's the point of the twisted neck? One shaft twists one way, the other twists the other way, so they cancel each other out. A can't see any aerodynamic gain to be had.

[RafaeINadal]

please have a think about it before somebody says something horrible to you.

[ulizinho]

is it true, that Nadal plays a racket as you can buy it in any tennis store?

[dodododa]

Not likely. Most pros just paint a customized racket.

[Ruciful]

Nadal chose a racket, Babolat knew that racket would be a best seller since Nadal is watched by millions.

Who wouldn't sell this racket? Common sense.

[ulizinho]

Yeah, tennis freaks often buy pro rackets, though they are not really suited for amateur play with shorter swings and less accuracy. I myself bought a HEAD prestige, a classic (Muster, Safin, Ivanisevic etc.) It is not fast and offers little comfort, thus I really had to adapt. If you dont, you get an tennis-elbow.

[fanjiatia]

Nadal uses the original aeropro drive. It is the one without cortex. He also has lead tape and two overgrips on it and babolat duralast 15g string.

[RafaeINadal]

:) you could be right

[Martsafrigide]

@fanjiatia geek

[blues3531]

@fanjiatia is there really that big of a difference? and what does the newer one cost more? It seems like you can't find the original aero pro drive anywhere.

[ThekevHouse]

I bought this raquet 1 week ago ... And im really happy with this purchase (It's a very good racket you can make a lots of effect )

And I don't bought it cuz it's the racket of nadal ... I just bought it because I knew that it would be a good raquet ...

[G3M333]

both of you, CALM DOWN, YOU'RE ARGUING OVER THE INTERNET

[perconteluz]

ok, mom.

[MOHH2COD4]

01sean

how the fucking hell is he a fanboy for saying its a stupid idea to not buy a racquet because nadal uses it. look up fanboy some day you prick

[perconteluz]

...................

[perconteluz]

??????????? seriously, u have a therapist? bcuz i think u need one. all i said that its really dumb to think by buying a certain racquet inflects others, therefore decreasing your self-esteem, just for buying a racquet that nadal uses? i mean, u sent me 1 message, and what, four comments over one comment? look who's getting offended here... (??????????????)

[perconteluz]

wow u have problems lol 3 comments? do u have anything else to do in ur life? LMAO LMAO LMAO u also made my day. "ie perconteluz" bitch u dont even know me lmao lmao lmao... just wow....

[perconteluz]

wow ru serious? ur not gonna buy the racquet because 'other people' would think you're nadal? wow. just wow. that is, by far, the most absurd excuse not to buy a racquet. who cares what other people think? always demo, too, dumbass, don't just buy it. just wow. u shouldn't b playing tennis if ur like this. wow.....

[robinho1979]

Althought the AeroPro is a awesome racquet.. I'm embarassed to play with it because players think I'm a Nadal just by using his racquet. I wish Federer Wilson or Yonex suited my style better.

[sirusfx]

Too bad he doesnt actually play with this racquet.

[OMGitsBRYANLEE]

im looking for a new tennis racket. i've been playing for nearly a year. is this a good racket?

[laperdepaperhond312]

well it's quite heavy for someone who is playing nearly a year

you also have to choose the racket at yourself cause your racket choise is very personal

[phillytennisguy]

I love the AeroPro Drive. I'm a baseliner and I found the aerodynamic design of this racket makes me much quicker to the ball and through the hitting zone. I'm able to generate sufficient power and as much spin as I need. I'm also able to serve big with it. I HIGHLY recommend it.

[subtlenight]

How is it on flat shots?

[A550RGY]

And boom goes the dynamite.

[KinghtHunter]

can someone help me on how to order things from tennis express? are the things from tennis express in new a good condition when you get it? how much does it cost to order it? and how long does it take? plase someone help me.

[TomDaBomb1331]

this racket is AMAZING for serving and volleys. i like wilson rackets for groundstrokes though

[spitphire2]

Whoa every single place I've seen says it's difficult to serve with, but groundstrokes are amazing. lol

[TomDaBomb1331]

just gotta demo it for yourself and not listen to what others say.

[manumber7]

it is difficult o serve with. lol

[manumber7]

it mean to be the other way round!!!

wilson rackets own at serves and volleys... well and groundstrokes!

but the aeropro has some serious problems on volleying lol

[TomDaBomb1331]

haha i noticed it has less control on volleys but more power. the k six one has alot more power for me on groundstrokes though. ive really grown to hate switching from wilson to babalot.

[Frostythelol]

amazing racquet, Massive spin and control. if you have trouble with two handed backhands this will help.

[quest8899]

wrong, you dont have to play exactly like Nadal with this racquet.
