Babolat Pure Aero Plus

Skill level: Advanced
Why we love it: There's no denying the power and spin of the Pure Aero line. The Pure Aero Plus takes the power and monster spin of the Pure Aero then ramps it up a notch. The added length of this racquet makes your biggest serves and groundstrokes even more damaging. Our playtesters love this racquet strung up with their favorite co-poly string so they can take their biggest cuts while finding extra control via massive spin.

Solinco Blackout 300

Skill level: Intermediate to advanced
Why we love it: A leader in the tennis string market, Solinco breaks into the racquet market in a big way. The Blackout 300 delivers a powerful and surprisingly spin-friendly response. When racquets are powerful like this Blackout 300, it's tempting to overhit, but the response is definitely powerful and ideal for intermediate level players.

Babolat Pure Drive 110
