2019 Babolat Pure Aero Superlite 100inch 16*19 255g

This model falls under the spin segment, shaping how it delivers power, control, and feel on court. The 100 in² head size boosts forgiveness and sweet spot size. A stiffness rating of 68 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 255 g, the frame favors maneuverability. The 16x19 string pattern (semi open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 80/100 for power, 100/100 for spin, and 40/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. It is best suited for beginner intermediate players.

Forum feedback often praises the Pure Aero family for easy access to topspin and a lively, powerful response, especially for baseline-heavy play. A recurring theme is that the firmer feel can be demanding on sensitive arms, with multiple players reporting elbow/shoulder discomfort depending on setup and technique; others still enjoy it but flag comfort as the main tradeoff versus spin/power.
