This new design will minimize drag through the air for a faster swing and increased hitting power. The Babolat Aeropro Drive GT Tennis Racket has a new updated design construction that adds improved playability, control and feel perfect for the baseline heavy-hitter looking for power and spin.

To filters unnecessary vibrations when hitting the ball the Babolat Aeropro Drive GT Tennis Racket has another new innovation called Cortex System Technology or Cortex Damping System (C.D.S) which is situated between the handle and the string bed.

Just Awesome!! I was leery about trying out this racquet because of its specs, plus I wasn't a big fan of Babolat. I talked myself into demoing this racquet, and I'm glad I did. The racquet was easy to swing and control. It wasn't stiff like the spec suggested, it was actually comfortable and forgiving on off- center hits. Power on serve was easy to generate because of the fast swing speed I can generate. On the baseline is where this racquet really shines, controllable power, easy to impart spin on the ball. I fell that I don't need to swing that hard to get the ball back deep. Surprisingly, this racquet also shines at the net. I play alot of doubles and the racquet is crisp and precise on volleys. Anyways, after the demo I went ahead and bought a couple of these frames. I have been real happy and have not lost a match since my purchase.
