Tara is a great reviewer of racquets! I like how she gives the positives and negatives of each one while she is playing with them. She also explains things in an easy to understand way. She could do this as a career after your professional playing days are over. Well done!
I second this. I'm 8 month into tennis and at the stage where I hear more of that ball-brushing-on-strings sound more often now than the crisp snap like this one. I guess the fact I'm not holding loose enough affects this too.
@ I’ve been playing for years and I still don’t get this sound too often. It’s a combo of fresh strings and hitting the sweet spot of the string bed with force. The next level of pop is hitting the sweet spot with a lot of spin in the stroke. That’s the big pop sound.
Welcome back to the babolat family Tara. Great choice I switched to the pure drive after playing with the pure aero and I have to say for my game its better I’m able to hit faster serves and more powerful volleys, groundstrokes were similar but overall the pure drive suited me a lot better for me I hope it helps you and your game in the future 🖤💙
Nope, she got the Percept from Tennis Warehouse :) But she has a history with Prince and Babolat so it just is more like "home" for her; she had tried them previously and they just weren't racquets she was considering. We sort of had a feeling she'd end up back with the one she chose before wee even started the demo process! Michelle, TW
Agreed. The Ezone 98 would’ve been a great one for her to try, but it seems her mind was made up in advance *shrug*. Whatever works! Feel is personal. But I think the “all things tennis” channel features pros going through a more comprehensive and open minded demo process.

I like this feature you’ve added to your TH-cam channel. I hope to see more in the future 💪🏾🎾

We want more of these bring karue too
We'll do our best!
@@curiousgeorge6921 hell yea Karue is the best player on TH-cam.
love her haha, interesting she uses the prince string. What tension does she usually string at?
Her go to tension is 52! She was using a thinner gauge in the Percept but is back to 16g in the Pure Drive.

She reminds me of Ash Barty.
that was a fun video.
I’m surprised Tara didn’t try out the Ezone and Vcore. 🤔
probably trying to get away from a yonex brand deal

@@tenniswarehouse oh that’s cool
Also because Babolat wants to get rid of the old model make way for the new. It’s just marketing

My Go to string
Nice video!
Genuine question: Why not have a racquet specifically for singles and a different one for Dubs?
For a Pro? Really? They want the same feel every time they strike the ball.
Listen to the sound of the Prince! Doesn't even have a dampener on it.
Come on guys, why the correction? what's half an inch between friends?
I'll get my coat.
Expected a more objective review rather than loving every racket
lol, right? You really want a thin beam that flies through the air!!!! *chooses a Pure Drive with a 26mm beam*
Probably she wanted a racquet where its neck does not break.
no idea why you play a 100. as a one handed backhand, you should definitely play 98! nice technique btw
Says the "expert"? Lol! What do you do for a living? Whatever it is, stick to that.
@@chuckfriebe843 what's your problem???
@@ThomasThomas-cf2jp When I come across a know-it-all club player that’s telling a pro what they should do, it is hilarious. As I said above…
@@chuckfriebe843 Learn to spell Chuckelberry Finn. Nice cat pic Soyboy. Go back to your safe-space.
@ Chuckelberry. There, how’d I do? Amazing what a comma will do.
