The Barbola Pure Aero returns to a cosmetic reminiscent of the Aeropro Drive, in addition to a handful of performance updates. For 2023, in addition to a more arm-friendly flex point, Babolat adds comfort with NF² Technology, which uses flax inserts in the handle and upper hoop to soften ball impact. Babolat also updates its slightly tighter 16x19 FSI Spin technology (Frame String Interaction) string pattern to add control and improve string durability over the previous generation. The result is greater control (and confidence) when maximizing stroke speed in the service of power and spin.
