Babolat Pure Aero Gen.9 Tennis Racket
The Babolat Pure Aero Gen.9 tennis racket is built for power players who rely on heavy topspin and confident, attacking tennis. If your game is about dictating rallies and pushing opponents deep behind the baseline, this racket is designed to help you swing fast and strike with intent.
Babolat has spent more than 20 years refining spin-focused technology, and the Gen.9 continues that legacy with a sharper, more aerodynamic frame. The updated design cuts through the air more efficiently, reducing drag by around 6 percent. In real terms, that means quicker racket head speed, easier access to spin, and a heavier ball coming off your strings, even when conditions aren’t perfect.
The frame also features flax fibres, which improve feel at impact and give better feedback on clean strikes. You get a crisp, controlled response without harsh vibration, ideal for players who hit with pace and want confidence on big forehands and aggressive baseline shots. A 16x19 string pattern keeps the balance right between power, spin, and control, so you can swing freely while still keeping the ball on target.
This racket suits intermediate to advanced tennis players who play an aggressive, modern game and want a reliable weapon for dominating rallies from the back of the court.
