Babolat AeroPro Drive Cortex Tennis Racquet Review

In 2005, the Babolat Aero Pro Drive and Aero Pro Drive Plus were reviewed, and Rafael Nadal was just finally becoming an up and coming player to watch. He was the World No. 18 at the time. Over the next two years, he has climbed into World No. 2 and World No. 1 positions, taking most of his opponents apart using racquets from the Babolat Aero Pro Drive line.

The Babolat Aero Pro Drive Cortex Tennis Racquet sports gorgeous black, yellow and white, and looks stunning in Rafael's hands on the court. He proved the capabilities of this racquet through and through when he dominated at the French Open, defending his crown to gain a third consecutive title. Along with the new stunning colors associated with the Babolat Aero Pro Drive Cortex Tennis Racquet, this racquet also improves the newest and most advanced technology behind Babolat, from which the Cortex name is drawn. While most aspects of the Aero Pro Drive racquets remain completely unchanged, the feel technology called Cortex appears in this line of racquets as it has already been a success in the Pure Drive line. The Aero Modular technology and the Woofer technology, both of which contribute to increased comfort and improved swing speed also remain, because Babolat is all about keeping what works in tact and simply building on a design to make a racquet's capability better.

When it comes to ground strokes, the Babolat Aero Pro Drive Cortex Tennis Racquet definitely offers a solid and control feel. This racquet is regarded as a true treat for the baseliner, and one of the best racquets on the market for hitting ground strokes. As far as volleys are concerned, the Babolat Aero Pro Drive Cortex Tennis Racquet clearly delivers a surprising level of stability, with a maneuverability that Babolat racquets are known for, and the perfect frame characteristics for net play. Though two of the most popular characteristics of this racquet are its spin and power, there is a little bit of a debate in place regarding serving consistency, as some players have noticed a difficulty finding the appropriate groove.

The versatility offered by this racquet when it comes to ground strokes also offers plenty of options when it comes to serve returns. Another key contrast in this particular racquet form in comparison to its previous incarnations is that there is no jarring in the arm that comes from impact with the ball, which was common with other Babolat Aero Pro Drive racquets. This is an excellent racquet to play with, regardless of whether you are a seasoned pro or a novice on the tennis courts this season.
