Our impression
The Air Vertuo is Babolat's fast, comfortable teardrop for active, offensive play: the smooth fibreglass face and the EVA core with vibration damping give a soft touch with a lively ball exit at the same time. Very agile in fast rallies, it delivers power almost without full physical effort.
At 350 g, it is lighter than three quarters of all models in our comparison: quick to handle, but more of the power in attack has to come from your own swing. Head shape Teardrop means: the sweet spot sits a little higher – more punch in attack than a round racket, more forgiving than a diamond; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The medium-hard core balances feedback and comfort. With power 6 and control 8 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 7.0 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 81% of the teardrop-shaped rackets in our comparison. 6 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €97.90 to €183.49 – a €86 difference for the same model.
