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.
A fast midplus that helps rec players take the ball early without feeling like they borrowed a tour stick.
The softest serious 98 you can buy right now (61 RA plus ProKennex's moving-mass Kinetic chambers), with real spin and placement, but you supply the pace, so it's a demo for arm-sore control players, not a Clash substitute.
