How it plays — our read

On the numbers, the Pure Aero Lite is built around spin and maneuverability. Its stability 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. Arm comfort is middle-of-the-road: fine for most players, worth softer strings if you are sensitive.
