As you can see from the table above, the Babolat range of boost rackets<\/strong> has very similar specs, so you won’t feel a huge difference between the rackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BBD and the BBDW have identical racket specs with the only difference being the color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, the BBAY, the BBAW, and the BBAR share identical racket specs with the only difference being the color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BBS is the outlier in the range as it has a higher strung weight and it has a head light balance rather than a head heavy balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BBD and the BBDW are oversized frames<\/a> while the BBAR and BBS are tweener-style rackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Racket Should You Buy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You won’t find a huge difference between any of the rackets as they all have very similar racket specs (see comparison above).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For absolute beginners, my recommendation would be to get the BBAY<\/strong> as it has a lighter swing weight than the BBD and the BBS, so it will be easier for beginners to swing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have some experience playing tennis and you are starting to develop a full swing, then I would recommend the BBS<\/strong> as its extra weight and head light balance will help you to better control your shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are an advanced player then I wouldn’t recommend any of the boost rackets as they won’t offer the control you need for your game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can you buy the Rackets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They are available to buy from most good online shops and through the official Babolat<\/a> website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
