This one definitely provides a bit easier access to power, and it is a stiffer frame overall. I would say it has decent comfort, considering its stiffness rating, however the Speed Pro will feel more plush and comfortable. Troy, TW
I would compare this one slightly closer with the Pure Drive Plus. So for the Blackout 300 XTD there is a bit easier access to power, and slightly more of a controlled feel with the Pure Aero Plus 2023 (having a lower stiffness and a bit tighter on the string spacing). As far as topspin goes, it is usually hard to beat the Pure Aero racquets, but the Blackout XTD is pretty spin friendly as well so, I would say pretty close between the two. Troy, TW
You guys never play tested the latest Instinct MP? Same racket as last generation…just new paint job, but I don’t think y’all play tested that one either! Love the cosmetic, love the price!
@Troy I've been enjoying playing with my Tecnifibre TF40 305 (2019) for 1.5 years. At times, I feel that I could use a tiny little more forgiveness. what options should I consider? many thanks. Y.
how does this racket compare in terms of feel with the head speed pro? is it more stiff or jarring?

@llamawizard,
Yes, it's a great racquet and the new cosmetic looks awesome! Easy power, spin and good stability. A solid option for sure!
