Babolat AeroPro Drive GT Racquet Lets You Attack the Net like a Pro

No one who has ever used a Babolat tennis racquet will deny its quality.

Babolat has been in the business of making tennis racquets nearly as long as tennis has been a sport. It’s one of the most respected companies in the world of tennis; respected by both amateur and professional players alike. In fact, do a quick search for "Babolat AeroPro Drive GT racquet" and you’ll quickly find that it's the preferred racquet of Rafael Nadal.

And, if the Babolat AeroPro Drive GT Racquet is good enough for Rafael Nadal, then it’s good enough for me.

However, it might not be the right racquet for everyone. A racquet of this design is for tennis players who aggressively attack the net and have an NTRP rating of 3.5 or better.

The sweet spot on this Babolat tennis racquet is only 100 square inches. The smaller head size means that if you're a player who is just learning to get the ball in play, learning to judge where the ball is going, or is somewhat consistent with medium-paced shorts but not comfortable with all strokes, then this racquet may not be for you. If you need on-court experience, you may want to start with an easier model.

However, if you aggressively attack the net and are dependable with directional control on moderate shots despite lacking depth and variety, the Babolat AeroPro Drive GT Racquet is a match.

The racquet itself utilizes a hybrid material composed of braided layers of carbon and threaded tungsten filaments, which reduce torque at impact while allowing you to make cleaner, more precise hits. In fact, the frame was designed like an airplane wing, so that you experience minimal air drag while swinging it. This allows you to swing faster, which translates into more power. Finally, the combination of graphite and tungsten (GT) allow the player to exhibit more control then prior versions of Babolat tennis racquets.

If you're a baseline player who likes to take big cuts at the ball you will be pleased with this racquet.

There's definitely a reason why this is a very popular racquet and, trust me, it's not only because a professional such as Nadal uses it. This racquet allows even an average tennis player to attack the net like a pro. It may not be for beginners, but if you are, or becoming, a power player, this racquet is definitely for you.
