I have used both babolat rackets, both have pluses and minuses. The Aeropro brings much more spin for players looking for more topspin; it is also very good for volleying at angles. For baseline players this racket would be very good, except that it lacks a little bit in the category of power. The Pure Drive on the other hand is a great racket for power, but lacks in spin. But for players looking for more power from the baseline the Pure Drive would be better. Such as the Aeropro volleying is fairly easy, but I have found out that for players who do not have much control on their volleys, it may be tough because of the power this racket generates. The cortex system really gives a good feel when you hit the ball, which both rackets contain. They also both contain woofer technology. Overall, the Aeropro allows you to hit more spin from the baseline, while the pure drive gives you more power. I would recommend the Aeropro although. But if you do not like the comfort of the cortex, then you could go for the Aeropro without cortex, which I also own and is one of my favorite racquets. Both are great rackets, and it matters on what kind of player you are.
Rafaels racquet of choice is the Babolat AeroPro Drive Cortex Racquet.
One Babolat tennis bag that holds 12 racquets is the Aero Racquet Holder; another is the Team Racquet Holder; and finally the Club Line Racquet Holder. These are the largest bags Babolat makes.
It's Babolat. Don't know exactly what one it is but the brand is Babolat!
Is the Contest Si also in junior size? Because the racquet length makes huge difference. Let's assume both racquet are the same form (either in normal or junior size). Essentially they target different players. Contest Si is for beginners, easier to hit and has a larger sweet spot. It is also lighter. The down side is as might out skilled the racquet if you progress and improve very quick. The Aeropro Drive Cortex is for intermediate and advanced level players. This doesn't mean it is not for beginners, but the smaller sweet spot and unforgiveness might cause some frustration for a beginner. Once the player improve, it'll be a joy to play with.
Babolat is by far the best trust me they have a wide variety of rackets to suit every style of play BABOLAT IS THE BEST!
This question comes down to peoples opinions. Though they are one of the most successful tennis brand. I use a babolat racquet similar to the one Rafa Nadal uses and in my opinion they are the best in their field.
I can't think of 10 different ones, but I can give my top 4, which are the Aeropro Drive GT, used by Rafael Nadal and Caroline Wozniacki, the Pure Drive GT used by Andy Roddick and Kim Clijsters, the Pure Storm, used by Dinara Safina, and the Contact Tour, which is the one I use!
Wilson and Babolats have many differences. Wilson are mainly heavy and small head sized to create control. But do sell other racket types. Babolat is mainly 300g and designed for heavy topspin. It is up to the athletes own specifications of what type of racket he would like to use. For example I use wilson, Babolat and Head to change my game when i need to in a match. At the moment i enjoy using the babolat to create heavy spin, but prefer the feel of a Wilson
Some of the ones used on tour are Prince, Head, Wilson, Babolat, Yonex, Volkl and Technifiber. Good can mean a lot of things but the best way to see if a raquet is right for you is to demo it yourself. Most good tennis stores should have a demo service and it is usually free if you end up buying a racquet from them.
In general, you prevent racquets from warping by keeping them away from heat. One of the best ways to do this is to look at several models of tennis bags that provide heat insulation liners that you can store racquets in like Head, Babolat or Wilson to name a few.
The Babolat RPM Blast is a very good string, but it loses a lot of tension after a couple weeks of play (requiring the player to adjust to the strings). However, it is not for everyone. As for the gauge, it all depends on what you want. If you want more spin and feel, then choose the 16 gauge strings. If you are prone to breaking racquet strings and want less bite on the ball, then you should choose the 17 gauge.
Racquet comprising a ball striking surface, a racquet head frame, and a racquet handle. Different dimensions and lighter than a tennis racquet.
