The 9th generation of the Pure Aero keeps the formula of the circuit's most famous spin racquet: 300 g unstrung, 100 in² head, 16x19 pattern and swingweight of 320. For 2026 Babolat redesigned the throat to reduce air drag, which makes the racquet even faster in acceleration, and updated the NF2 Tech with linen to filter vibration. The measured stiffness is 66 RA, with a lively response and easy power from the baseline.

How the RR Score was calculated

Specs55%55
Approval from players30%86
Versatility15%62

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
