Though it may not be as popular as its younger, more flexible brother (RPM Blast), Pro Hurricane Tour has enjoyed a respectable following among big hitters, including Andy Roddick. This is due in part to the undeniable precision it delivers, especially on big swings, which explains why our two playtesters raved about how much control they had when they turned up the pace. In addition to control, our team discovered exceptional bite, which made it easier for them to shape the angle and trajectory of their shots with spin. The easy access to spin was aided in no small part by the low power, which allowed our guys to take very sharp upward cuts without fear of the ball spraying unpredictably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"display: none;\" id=\"29751259431015\" class=\"description\"\u003eBabolat RPM Blast is one of the most popular co-polyester tennis strings ever made, and it's not just because Rafael Nadal won so many Grand Slams with it. This firm co-poly packs a \"best of class\" combination of spin, precision and durability, the success of which has spawned a small family (RPM Dual and RPM Team). Babolat further expands the brood with the introduction of RPM Blast Rough, this time adding a textured surface to the familiar octagonal profile and silicone treatment. According to our playtest team, this string felt decidedly softer and more arm-friendly than the original RPM Blast. We also found it to be more powerful, which made it easier to get the ball moving through the court. On the flip side, the livelier feel resulted in some control problems. Spin potential was excellent, but it didn't live up to the otherworldly spin of the original RPM Blast (not many strings do).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"display: none;\" id=\"29751262380135\" class=\"description\"\u003eA solid core synthetic string constructed with a durable polyamide core and wrapped in a swirl of ultra flexible filaments.

It was launched in 1925, and if you consider the list of iconic tennis players who have used it or the number of historic matches that it has graced, Babolat VS Touch is literally the stuff of legend. The defining features of this string come from its composition. Made of extremely elastic natural fibers, VS Touch is the most comfortable and powerful string we've playtested to date. But it's not just soft and powerful. What truly separates VS Touch is the feel. Unlike strings made from synthetic fibers, VS Touch not only feels wonderfully crisp, but it also somehow manages to stay comfortable and responsive at very high tensions. In addition to its hefty price and the typical fraying common with natural gut, our biggest knock on VS Touch was that it lacked the spin and control we get from a full bed of stiff polyester. This problem can be mitigated by using higher tensions or installing VS Touch in a hybrid, which is the chosen configuration on the pro tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePure Aero Team Racquet\u003c\/strong\u003e is a lighter (285g) and more accessible version of the classic Pure Aero, used by Rafael Nadal and Jack Sock, among many others. A little more flexible than its predecessor, it boasts a speedy aerodynamic beam along with impressive levels of stability, plow-through and comfort for a modern player's racquet. There’s also some serious power to be had for those who can swing this stick fast. Still armed with FSI Spin Technology the Pure Aero features wider spacing between the crosses for increased ball bite. Babolat has also enlarged some of the grommet holes, allowing the strings to absorb more vibration and snap the ball out of the stringbed with extra RPMs. This is why Babolat calls it \"The Spin Machine\". From the backcourt this racquet feels very solid and stable. In addition to the solid feel, the Pure Aero produces a great combination of pace and spin on full swings. At net, the Pure Aero Team feels solid, accurate and lively, and it has more than enough put-away power for ending points with authority. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2019-07-19T11:08:16-04:00","created_at":"2019-07-19T11:40:12-04:00","vendor":"Babolat","type":"tennis racquet","tags":["16x19","2020","275g to 300g","adult","christmasstring","new","normal price","tennis"],"price":20249,"price_min":20249,"price_max":20249,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39362963046503,"title":"4","option1":"4","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Babolat Pure Aero Team 285G - 4","public_title":"4","options":["4"],"price":20249,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]},{"id":32080673800295,"title":"4 1\/8","option1":"4 1\/8","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"101358","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Babolat Pure Aero Team 285G - 4 1\/8","public_title":"4 1\/8","options":["4 1\/8"],"price":20249,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"3324921699318","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]},{"id":30914821652583,"title":"4 1\/4","option1":"4 1\/4","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"169932","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Babolat Pure Aero Team 285G - 4 1\/4","public_title":"4 1\/4","options":["4 1\/4"],"price":20249,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"3324921699325","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]},{"id":30914821685351,"title":"4 3\/8","option1":"4 3\/8","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"101362-38","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Babolat Pure Aero Team 285G - 4 3\/8","public_title":"4 3\/8","options":["4 3\/8"],"price":20249,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"3324921699332","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]},{"id":30914821718119,"title":"4 1\/2","option1":"4 1\/2","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"101363-21","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Babolat Pure Aero Team 285G - 4 1\/2","public_title":"4 1\/2","options":["4 1\/2"],"price":20249,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"3324921699349","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1102\/6535\/products\/pure-aero-team-babolat.jpg?v=1649877855","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1102\/6535\/products\/102358_PureAeroteam_3-4.png?v=1642537705"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1102\/6535\/products\/pure-aero-team-babolat.jpg?v=1649877855","options":["Grip size"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":21516150702183,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":585,"width":585,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1102\/6535\/products\/pure-aero-team-babolat.jpg?v=1649877855"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":585,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1102\/6535\/products\/pure-aero-team-babolat.jpg?v=1649877855","width":585},{"alt":"Babolat Pure Aero Team Tennis Racquet Nadal 102358","id":20589617840231,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.37,"height":6624,"width":2453,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1102\/6535\/products\/102358_PureAeroteam_3-4.png?v=1642537705"},"aspect_ratio":0.37,"height":6624,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1102\/6535\/products\/102358_PureAeroteam_3-4.png?v=1642537705","width":2453}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNadal Pure Aero Tennis Racquet Collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"display: none;\" id=\"29751257137255\" class=\"description\"\u003eBabolat Pro Hurricane Tour is a firm, octagonally shaped co-polyester that provides big hitters with phenomenal control.
