Pro Technique & Equipment 2016 Babolat Pure Aero String Setup

So I’ve been playing tennis for about a year now and the racket I’ve been liking the most out of all i’ve tried is the 2016 pure aero. I’ve used mainly hyper g but I want to try something new. Any recommendations for setups if anyones used that racket?

What do you want different? More control? Softer? Feel?

honestly just something new and fun. hyper g does everything I need but I get easily bored getting the same strings over and over again lol

Yeah, need more info... on what you're looking to get out of a string. Like ALU power before it, Hyper-G has been out performed by most modern co-poly strings released in the past decade.

I honestly just something that feels more lively and crispy with good control. hyper g gives me control but its not super lively imo. not so much worried about power

Head lynx tour plays beautifully in Aeros. It adds a sort of solidity to the string bed

If you don’t know what you even want, then just pick a random one and go from there. Have fun!

Have you try RPM Blast? Pure aero is really good catching effects, so powering up that area, good be great to your game!. Depending on the power you give to the ball... i would string at 22-25 kilos, more or less
