Verdict
The yellow spin frame club players still mean when they say Aero—Gen9 is a bit more muted than the 2023 beast, still the clearest primary demo in the spin lane.
Babolat’s current insulated Pure Drive 6-pack—70 L, stand-up base, clear shoe tunnel, dual mains—at a locked $149; the compact sibling to the RH12 when you refuse another trunk-sized club bag.
A comfortable modern 98 that gives rec regulars easy depth without a boardy, tour-stiff feel.
