Babolat AeroPro Drive GT - Rafa's New Babolat Racket Design? Video Review

We've been granted a hands-on preview of Rafael Nadal's latest racket of choice, the Babolat AeroPro Drive GT! Put some fresh RPM Blast on there and gave the prototype a full demo at the wall.

The live test was filmed before this racket was made available to the public.

Our Review of the Babolat AeroPro Team and AeroPro Lite versions.

2013 Babolat AeroPro Drive Review

Click for Full-Size Comparison Chart

Quick Summary

It offers an exceptional blend of maneuverability, stability, and all-around playability for a wide range of improving players. This "tweener" class or "between Intermediate and Advance" levels fits a majority of players between the NTRP 3.5-4.5 skill levels.

Babolat Base-lining

As with most Babolat rackets, it helps to have a medium to long, fast swing speed to take advantage of all maneuverability in these aerodynamic frames (Aero). It can generate fast racket head speed more easily than other rackets, and actually feels surprisingly light (compared to other rackets) when you're swinging it.

The racket's ease is due to its lowered "swing weight" - which was dropped from 331 down to 316, in its current form. Also for 2013, it has been updated with Babolat's "Active Cortex" feature for more comfort on impact, it also feels slightly stiffer than previous years' models but a bit more control on mis-hits.

Tip: Call ahead 301-230-9195 or email: info@tennistopia.com and mention "Tennis Bargains Promo" to reserve one first, with free stringing.

This is usually also the time of the year when tennis rackets, clothes and other gear will get marked down in prices with the anticipation of next year's models. Best time for bargain hunters to go shopping for tennis!

Andy Murray: US Open 2012 Champion - Get his Adidas Gear now on sale

Congrats to Andy Murray on winning his first ever Grand Slam - US Open 2012!

What a great 5-set match against the indomitable Novak Djokovic who came back from 2 sets down to level! Congrats Andy!!

What's the Common Formula for Novak and Andy?...both US Open Champions

$5 Grounds Pass for Men's Monday Finals

You can also get a $5 Grounds Admission Pass to watch the Men's Final at the US Open on the big screens. It can actually be a very exciting crowd outside the stadium. You can actually hear the players' shots echoing, fans cheering on both sides plus usually a better view than sitting at the very top of Ashe.

Tip: Be sure to pick up one of those Amex radios to get the play-by-play audio too. Can't beat $5 bucks!! 

Actually now that I think about it, if you arrive later at night and see some people leaving the match early - you could always ask them nicely for their old ticket. If Murray wins, it might be cool to go inside just to see Andy hoist his first Grand slam title! Enjoy the Finals!

US Open Weather and Ticket Update:

With severe weather canceling the 2nd men's semi-final and women's final, ticket sales are going crazy! People are trying to get rid of tickets as fast as they can tonight - Sell! Sell!

Here's the new schedule:

Sunday Schedule:

Ferrer-Djokovic 11 am, Azarenka-Serena 4:30 pm.

"Sold Out" Tickets still available for Finals Weekend

These sessions for the entire weekend were all "sold out" as of early Summer, even before it was available to the public. But today some of them can still be had for just over $100 from TicketExchange

• Their loss is your gain!
• Remember to buy an electronic TicketExchange ticket, for instant print-out
• These tickets are guaranteed by Ticketmaster

Ferrer vs Djokovic, Murray vs Berdych

Should make for some great matches on Sat! Let's see who will tire out whom before Sunday's Final. Ferrer will be my dark horse pick to win it all; Maybe we'll see someone win their first major - lots of possibilities left.

Hope everyone will enjoy the rest of the US Open, wherever you get to watch it!
Also remember to vote on our Facebook page for a chance to win free tickets to 2013

Some observations from this year's US Open...

Tennis-Bargains is back from the first week at the US Open 2012 opening weekend!

A few notables US Open 2012 additions and changes we want to highlight for you below. Also, with some US Open insider's guide Part 1 and Part 2 with insights during qualifying week

Court 17 - The "New Grandstand"

• This is brand new and has a very wide bowl, with an interesting top-down seating layout. Definitely  need to check it out if you're at the Open.
• I would say it is my next favorite court (Grandstand, Armstrong, Court 17)...what I label the Trinity of Tennis Courts

Fans Welcome Weekend - Free Close-up Players Practice

• Got to see Roger Federer, Djokovic, Murray, Ferrer, Raonic, Nalbandian, Tsonga, Del Portro, Tipsarevic, Cilic, Monaco FOR FREE!!
• Yep, if you came to visit the US Open this past weekend, you got to see practically every male player in the Top 15 from about 20-30 feet away!
• On the women's side, we were able to see on these courts: Sharapova, Serena Williams, Clisters, Li Na, etc...

Top Food choice this year: Crepes

• About 3/4 the way down the row of the food court area - these crepes come in different meats (chicken, beef, pork, veggie, etc).
• Definitely would recommend trying one for about $11 for a relatively healthy yet tasty choice.
• My favorite, "Le Poulle": The Chicken Crepe ~$11 is one of the best meals on site - good to enjoy when watching a match on the new court 17. Check out this article/review from NY Times.

Thanks to all our fans (both new and old) who are following us!
