Read a Full Review of the Babolat AeroPro Drive Cortex Racquet from Rackets411.com

The Babolat AeroPro Drive Cortex, the racquet of choice for Rafael Nadal , is an updated version from the classic AeroPro Drive. In Babolat's constant technological pursuit to provide players with an even greater amount of comfort and feel, they have combined the excellent playing characteristics of the drive series racquets with their new technology called the Cortex System. The Cortex Technology filters out harmful vibrations that may contribute to tennis elbow without sacrificing the excellent feel and control that has made Babolat a world power in tennis equipment. The Woofer technology adds pistons to the frame that act as suspension to decrease the amount of shock that could potentially hurt the player. Like the earlier version, the AeroPro Drive Cortex features the same AeroModular technology that allows for a more aerodynamic frame to increase headspeed and further increasing the power and control permitted to the user.

We recommend the Babolat AeroPro Drive Cortex for NTRP rating 4.0 and above (advanced or intermediates to touring professionals). The weight is not excessive and, just like the other racquets in the Drive Z Series, the AeroPro Drive Cortex tennis racquet will have a strong appeal to people of all ages, from younger juniors to adult players. The AeroPro Drive Cortex Plus (or extended) version, which is 0.5 inches longer than the standard version, allows for greater leverage on the serve and reach.

Babolat Aero Cortex Racket

User: Charles, Ms

I have been buying rackets for twenty five years, and none of them have given me the power and control of my new Babolat racket. There is a significant difference between the Babolat and my previous two racket purchases. I could not be more pleased. It was also my first purchase through Tennis Express. Overall it was a very positive experience.

User: ben, vic

this is the best racket ive used i got it about a week ago you get heaps of spin from the aeromodular technology and it feels great

Great!

User: Wes, TX

It has great power and an amazing sound when ever you hit the ball. I definately recommend this racket!

great for volleys

User: scott, southern

The promo failed to mention that this racket has incredible feel around the net. I just played in a doubles tournament with other pros in the area, and I was serving and volleying probably better than I ever have. Of course, this racket has great control, and you can generate tons of spin from the baseline as well.

Overall good racket.

User: Kenneth, CA

This racket is good for groundstrokes, much better if you use topspin since the racket was designed to be swung in a "windshield" motion. The cortex system does dampen, but I still require the use of a shock dampener to almost completely reduce the shock. Serve on this stick is fair, you're able to produce nice spin and kick serves. If it's power you're looking for, I suggest you look into the Pure Drive. Volleys feel solid, and return of serves are a sinch with this one. Overall, a great job by Babolat.

love it! great racquet all around!

Good.

User: moper, New York

The raquet is good overall, but it is way to light. If you like heavy raquets, this is defilnitoly not a raquet for you. In my opinion, I want a new raquet, not one that is a year old when i first get it. Otherwise this is a great rauquet.

Babolat AeroPro Drive

User: Jacob, TX

This is a really good racquet. It is great on groundstrokes, serves, and volleys. Only thing is that the cortex system is a bit exaggerated so I personally use a small dampener. Not too big of a problem though. Swing speed is unprecedented on groundstrokes and serves, and volleys pack punch. This raquet has pure drive power and K6-One Tour control(which is why Nadal uses it). Definitly a must buy, or at least a must demo.

PLAY like NADAL

User: Teddy, Pennsylvania

...I wish. The raquet feels smooth and solid, and because of the way it is designed the racquet gives great swing speed. I think that helps to give more spin, not sure. All I know is that I received more spin, which was awesome! There is a reason the #1 in the world is playing with this racquet. And the racquet is yellow, how can you go wrong with yellow? Viva RAFA!
