Loading... Please wait...The Aero Storm GT is an update of the Babolat Aero Storm and weapon of choice for WTA Superstar Dinara Safina. Like its predecessor the Aero Storm, the Aero Storm GT is also control-oriented, allowing players to generate plenty of spin from the baseline. At the net, the mobility of the racquet allows players to move easily around the court to reach wide volleys and a range of shots.
In contrast to the AeroPro line, the Aero Storm GT sports a thinner beam to orient additional control for solid players. The addition of GT technology utilizing braided carbon and tungsten fibers provides players with even more precision, power, and feel over the prior model. Cortex dampening andWoofer shock dissipation is still among the priorities of the newer frame to ensure the continual smooth feel from its line. The Aero Storm GT is a great option for a intermediate to advanced players looking for a frame to provide them with pinpoint accuracy and comfort.

This racket definitely has a characteristic feel to it. I found the frame to be a less extreme version of the K blade in terms of stiffness, and found the frame to be quite unforgiving. The racket did however have great control from the baseline and allowed me to hit lots of topspin with a fair amount of power. In terms of feel, I did not find this frame to have a lot of "pop", and the sweet spot was quite narrow. It is a great frame for players who are looking to hit vast amounts of topspin with very good control over the ball. This frame is definitely geared towards more advanced players that like to attack from the baseline and hit heavy topspin.
