Babolat Pure Aero – Gen 9 - Engineered for Pure Speed. Built to Dominate.
The Pure Aero Gen 9 continues the legacy of one of the most iconic racquets in modern tennis—renowned for its unmatched blend of speed, power, and spin. Loved by generations of players for its easy playability and explosive performance, this latest evolution stays true to the formula while pushing the boundaries of what an Aero can do.
With its sub‑325 swingweight, the Pure Aero Gen 9 delivers effortless acceleration from the baseline and lightning‑quick handling at net. The result is a racquet that makes it simple to generate heavy spin, attack the lines, and stay aggressive in every phase of play.
For 2026, Babolat introduces a re‑engineered aerodynamic shaft designed to reduce wind drag, giving the racquet an even more explosive, whippy feel. Whether you’re ripping a high‑RPM forehand, stepping inside the baseline to take time away, or flicking a defensive ball back into play, the updated geometry helps you create pace and spin with remarkable ease.
Comfort and feel also receive a meaningful upgrade. The newest generation of NF² Tech integrates flax fibers in key locations to soften harsh vibrations and deliver a cleaner, more arm‑friendly response—without sacrificing the crisp feedback that Pure Aero players rely on.
Spin remains a defining advantage thanks to FSI Spin Technology, which pairs Babolat’s Woofer system with strategically placed Spin Grommets to increase dwell time and enhance string movement. The result is a racquet that grips the ball longer, shapes it more aggressively, and responds beautifully on angled or off‑center contact.
With its improved feel, enhanced aerodynamics, and signature blend of speed, spin, and power, the Pure Aero Gen 9 continues to evolve while staying true to what players love most. For competitors who want a racquet that accelerates effortlessly and rewards attacking tennis, this is the starting point.
