Introducing the lightest member of the Pure Aero family. This racquet offers the spin-friendly precision of the standard Pure Aero but in a lighter, more user-friendly package. At 10.1 ounces strung, the Pure Aero Lite is ideal for the intermediate player who wants a fast swinging racquet with easy targeting on full swings. It should also work for the dedicated beginner who wants a racquet that will reward continued improvement. Like the previous generation, the Pure Aero Lite comes with FSI Spin Technology, which features wider spacing between the crosses (for added bite) along with larger grommet holes at 6 and 12 o'clock (for increased string movement and a more powerful "snapback"). The result is a racquet that puts a tight grip on the ball before snapping it out of the stringbed loaded with spin. As with the other members of the Pure Aero family, Babolat has moved the Cortex dampening material to the head at 3 & 9 o'clock, resulting in a slightly softer feel at impact. This model also benefits from an Aeromodular Beam, which helps reduce wind drag. From the baseline, the Pure Aero Lite not only feels comfortably firm at impact, but it also delivers easy spin and exceptional targeting on full swings. Although it is not as stable as the heavier Pure Aero models, this racquet's even balance gives it impressive stability for its weight class. It also packs the kind of maneuverability that improving players need for generating effective pace and spin. As with the previous generation, this racquet's light weight is an asset at net where it plays great on fast exchanges. The speedy feel also helps on service returns where the Pure Aero Lite comes around very fast when the pressure is on. Ultimately, with its user-friendly responsiveness, the Pure Aero Lite remains an obvious choice for rising players who want easy access to pace and spin.

Aeromodular Technology
Features a frame with varying beam profiles at the throat, shaft and the head of the racquet, each of which are strategically shaped to reduce wind drag and boost swing speed. The result is easier access to power and spin

AEROMODULAR 2
With the introduction of the 2015 Pure Aero Line, Babolat adds a closed bumper with submerged string channels and Woofers along with long side/short side string installation.

AEROMODULAR 3
With the introduction of the 2019 Pure Aero Line, Babolat opens the bumper and removes the long side/short side string installation while keeping deeper string channels for protection against premature string breakage.

THE FIRST DYNAMIC SYSTEM WHICH MAKES THE FRAME AND THE STRINGS INTERACT WHEN STRIKING THE BALL

A tennis racket is a frame with strings. The frame is basically static and holds the driving force of the racquet - the strings - in place. The strings are attached to both sides of the frame. Only some strings are active when struck by the ball. This means that racquets do not deliver their full potential. Babolat set out to imagine a racquet optimizing the frame and the strings - to invent a frame which permits all the strings to work together to their full potential when striking the ball.

PULLEY FUNCTION

- The WOOFER eliminates string lock-up: the strings are free to move.
- The whole surface area reacts on impact: with the WOOFER, more strings work together when striking the ball. The strings are interactive. This increases sweetspot size, improving forgiveness during off-center shots and absorbing much of the shock produced during ball impact.

PISTON FUNCTION

- Increase in the Trampoline Effect: The piston function enables greater surface deformation on impact, delivering 10% extra power and ensuring that the strings retain their energy for a longer time.
- Shock Absorption: The pistons act like a suspension system to dampen unwanted vibration.

FSI Spin (Frame String Interaction)
Wider spaces between cross strings 5 - 12 for more ball bite. Oblong grommets for greater string "snapback" and higher RPMs (spin!!).

Material technology in the throat where a special carbon layer is woven into the graphite layup in order to increase torsional stability and control.

Cortex Pure Feel
For this version of Cortex Technology, Babolat partners with a company called SMAC, which supplies a thin viscoelastic rubber that is uniquely tailored to absorbing impact vibration. The material is put inside the frame between carbon layers. In addition to adding comfort, Babolat has designed this material technology to provide a great sound at impact along with a cleaner, more direct feel. The specific location of this technology varies with the racquet family.

2018 Pure Drive
Babolat places Cortex Pure Feel in the shaft in order to filter out harsh vibrations.

2019 Pure Aero
Babolat moves Cortex Pure Feel to 3 and 9 o'clock in the head. In addition to reducing harsh impact vibrations, this technology, when placed at this location, also increases dwell-time and spin potential.
