Should i get a babolat aero pro drive cortex tennis racquet or should i get a wilson k blade tour?

Question

i want better serves, topspin, control and, power.

i know that the babolat has better topspin... the wilson has more control... but im still not really sure which one to get, also tell me which one u think looks better, i think that they both look awesome

Answer 1

I use that Nadal racket,

I wrap the grip in yellow yonnex, it looks mean!

To the technical,

the K factor is good and other wilsons of the same series are good for their won reasons, but the aero pro drive is good to.

its all good

Not to mention the red yonnex tape on the K factor

Answer 2

I haven't really looked at wilson

but for the babolat, it's extremely good at serves and topspin

control's alright

the babolat has a lot of power on it's own though, so if you prefer to generate your own power it might not be for you

Answer 3

I have demoed both of these racquets.

Wilson [K] Factor is like no racquet i have ever hit with before. Its kind of hard to describe, but the spin and control are very eclectic, its like nothing you have ever used before. It hits with average power. Heres an analogy:

The Wilson [K] Factor is like a whip.

The Babolat Aeropro drive offers tremendous power and a quick swing. However, back to the analogy, the Aeropro drive reminds me of a sledgehammer. If you get a good backswing and you are prepared for a ball, you can deal some tremendous power and speed on the ball. But its not very good with volleys, where there is no swing and you have to maneuver the racquet quickly.

In summary:

Wilson K Factor swings like a whip.

Babolat Aeropro Drive swings like a sledge hammer.

Answer 4

Babolat Aero Pro Drive is a sweet racquet. It will give you little more top spoin because of the strings and if you tend to hit top spin anyway, it will definitely feel better. Slightly more cushioned and you'll feel the pop. Its a class racquet and it generates beautiful power.

K Factor, personally i don't like. But here's what it'll do for you anyway. It's heavier than the Babolat by a fair way, so take that into account. Its will feel more solid in the hand when you hit and genrates good power on flatter shots. It will tend to make you swing a little less i find and that may or may not be a good thing. Good for volleys but not so great for serves.

Hope i helped.

Answer 5

I personally think that the racquet doesnt make the player. But, i can help u with the technical stuff. many people think that they can create a lot of topsin with the babolat cuz nadal does, but it all depends on your style of play and ur grip. I think you can create just a bit more topspin with the babolat, but its not much to make a big difference. Now, you really need to demo the wilson racket before u use it and you need to find the right headsize for u. K factors come in a 90 or a 95 usually. Even though u get a lot of control with the k factor, u need to know that its extremely difficult to consistently hit the ball at the sweet spot with the racket since its small. The rackets are also a bit heavy so, they cause tennis elbow for some people. So, you should test out with k factor size is right for and make sure you are okay with the wieght. Also, you need to hit harder with the smaller k factor rakets to get the same amount of power because they are usually smaller. Looks wise, I think the k factors look better becaus im not a big fan of the neon/lime green.

hope it helps :)
