intermediate frame with a forgiving head size, slight head light balance and medium weight for a great blend of power and control. A solid feel is created by the latest 4D braiding technology at the key stress points, and the slightly open string pattern enhances the control of the shot. This means the average player can generate greater swing speed without sacrificing control or feel, thus producing a better all round game. This is a great improverāTMs racket who wants to have a tennis racket that will still suit as they progress and get better at the game.

Advantages: Good balance between power and accuracy, large head size and durable. Disadvantages: Power is limited when compared with other racquets that have a smaller throat.
...I have had this racquet for a few weeks now and must say that having got use to it now, it is an excellent racquet. I have swapped from using a 'Prince 03 tour' which was very different.
The racquet I must say does not offer as much power as the Prince 03 however, if you were to restring the racquet this would no longer be an issue. This racquet is superb for drop shots! The wider throat really does help in making this a phenomeally accurate racquet.
This is the technical specification of the racquet:
Headsize: 500 cm sq
Frame Weight: 140g
String Pattern: 14x19
Construction: M-Fil/Aerogel

Advantages: Extremely light and with enormous amounts of power Disadvantages: Difficult to get hold of!
...I have been playing badminton in local leagues for the past fifteen years and have recently taken up tennis.
Naturally tennisrackets tend to be significantly heavier than badminton rackets which makes the transition from one sport to the other incredibly difficult.
I had a 'hit' with this racket that my partner uses and found it was amazingly light immediately.
After playing with it for a while I subsequently noticed that it was a very forgiving racket, its enormous sweet spot comensating for off centre hits.
It delivers a really smooth sensation when hitting giving excellent feedback - you really can feel the ball with this racket.
After tracking one down on the internet and continuing to play with the racket it just gets better and better. I have recently started opening up the explosive power that it has, and it not...

Advantages: spin, power, good strings and style Disadvantages: heavy racket
...Okay, I don't officially own this racket but I ordered a few tennisrackets on trial and the Babolat AeroPro Plus is one of them.
As used by Rafael Nadal. I found it personally a bit on the heavy side ( about 11.1oz strung). Nevertheless this racket does feel good especially when used for various spin shots and baseline shots. I found it especially good for slice serving, it really gives a nice kick and due to the longer length of the racket it enabled me to reach a bit further when I am stretching and greatly benefits on my serve.
In my opinion this is a head heavy racket combined this with the cortex filter system (reduces vibration) and aero frame design it gives a better feel of the ball and enhances maneuverability meaning that more power can be generated. It has a nice size head at 100sq.in. which gives a nice sized sweet...
