Babolat Pure Aero Lite Gen.9 Tennis Racket
The Babolat Pure Aero Lite Gen9 is a lightweight performance tennis racket built for players who want easy swing speed and heavy spin from the baseline. It suits developing juniors moving into full size frames, intermediate adults, and club players who prefer a lighter feel on hard court or clay. Available in store and online NZ wide at Players Sports NZ, it is a strong option if maneuverability is a priority.
If you play long rallies and use topspin to control points, this racket is designed to support that style.
Easy Speed and Spin
The Pure Aero Lite Gen9 features an even more aerodynamic frame design. In practical terms, the racket moves through the air faster, helping you generate greater racket head speed without over swinging.
That added speed translates directly into more spin. On court, you will notice easier net clearance and better depth, particularly on forehands where you want shape and margin over the net.
Lightweight and Manageable
The Lite version is specifically built for enhanced lightness and maneuverability. It is easier to accelerate and easier to control on quick exchanges at the net or when defending wide balls.
For younger players or adults who find heavier frames demanding over a long match, this model reduces fatigue while still offering strong baseline performance.
Improved Feel at Impact
Flax fibres are integrated into the frame to improve feel. This gives clearer feedback at contact, which helps when redirecting pace or placing the ball into the corners.
Combined with the open string pattern, you get a blend of spin, control and accessible power. The open pattern also helps you hit deeper into the court with less effort, especially useful on outdoor hard courts around New Zealand.
