I usually use a Babolat AeroPro tennis racquet but am looking for another one to try out. What does everyone else use or recommend?

honestly the AeroPro is the perfect racquet for a 3.5-4 player, but if you wanna test another racquets i would recommend for your level the following ones:
Head youtek extreme MP (100")
Dunlop arerogel 4D 500

but as Al said more info will be welcome.

Check your technique also, or post a video. Sometimes a few little adjustments can go a long way.

Xavi is right also, try a size smaller grip.


Thanks for all the answers guys, I switched to the Head Youtek Radical MP. I love it so far, and no arm pains yet. I also switched to a smaller grip and I like that better as well!

thanks guys

Glad to hear you went heavier instead of lighter, and happy to hear it's working out!

the k blade the tip of the racquet was probably the heaviest, which I would guess make it feel heavier
