It eliminates unnecessary vibrations and enhances the feel of the ball.

Aero Modular: New modular frame concept, creates maximum penetration of the racquet through the air and increases the hitting power. Perfect control for directional hitting.

GT Technology: GT innovative technology combines crossed layers of graphite and thin threads of tungsten integrated into the racquet's lay up. Tungsten is a high-tech fiber used in the aerospace industry, highly valued for its toughness and tensile strength properties. Graphite tungsten innovative technology provides maximum torsional stability on the headsize for enhanced control, and energy restoration in the yoke for additional power.

      tough to rotate when you are single handed back hand player.Definte no for single handed player. Looks like 1 size bigger than what it is . It feels like vibrating rather than giving feel of ball.

          Outstanding product. I have purchased 5 Babolats.

          Service and delivery comments:

          I have made five purchases from Holabird Sports in the past year and the service, the communication, the timeliness of delivery, the quality of product have been consistently outstanding. No surprises, first class service, e mail notifications, availability of reps by phone, quality packaging, detailed paperwork, all have been great. I won't shop anyhwere else for my tennis gear.

            When discussing the product what difference does balance and swing weight make?

              A:

              Balance and swing weight are somewhat related. Balance refers to how the racquet's weight is distributed. Some racquets are head heavy (more weight pushed towards the tip), some are head light (more weight pushed towards the buttcap) and others are evenly balanced. Swingweight is a measurement of how heavy the racquet feels while in motion and is based on static weight, balance, and a few other factors.

          • Q:

            Does this racquet need a vibration dampener?

              A:

              Using a vibration dampener is 100% personal preference. It all depends on what kind of feel you like when hitting the ball. A dampener tends to give a more solid and dead feel at ball impact.
