The Pure Aero Lite<\/a> and the regular Pure Aero<\/a> are both popular tennis rackets made by French racket manufacturer Babolat<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pure Aero range of tennis rackets is famously endorsed by 22 grand slam singles champion Rafael Nadal<\/a> as well as other top pros including Felix Auger-Aliassime<\/a>, Jennifer Brady, Danielle Collins, Leylah Fernandez,<\/a> Bethanie Mattek-Sands, and Elise Mertens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The comparison below is for the 2019 versions of the Babolat Pure Aero Lite (or PAL”) and Pure Aero<\/a> (or “PA”).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to see a comparison of the 2023 versions, check out my article<\/a> comparing both frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you would expect, both rackets share many similarities including a 100-inch head size, 27-inch racket length, 16 x19 string pattern, and a 23mm \/ 26mm \/ 23mm beam width<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest difference between these two tennis rackets is their strung and swing weights with the PA<\/a> being considerably heavier than the PAL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As the PAL<\/strong> is over an ounce lighter than the regular PA, it will be much easier for beginner to intermediate players to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In terms of arm friendliness<\/a>, both of these frames have relatively high stiffness ratings so are best avoided if you have had arm issues in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\nComparison of the Babolat Pure Aero Lite and Pure Aero<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
