How it plays — our read

On the numbers, the Boost Aero is built around maneuverability and spin. Its control is the softest spot, so weigh that against what you prioritise. It is easy to swing and quick to maneuver, which suits developing strokes, doubles reflexes, and longer sessions. The stiffer layup transmits more shock, so arm-sensitive players should pair it with a soft string at lower tension or look at a more flexible frame.

String and tension recommender

Setup
Multifilament/poly hybrid
Tension
48-54 lbs / 22-24.5 kg
A slightly firmer setup can sharpen directional control. Do not chase control with high tension if comfort drops. Pre-strung or cheapest spin string.
