This lightweight, spin-friendly racquet offers outstanding maneuverability, making the Aerogel 4D 500 versatile, and effective from all areas of the court. Adding 4D technology to the already successful Aerogel 500, this stick has added stability and feel. The 4D braid is designed to increase strength and torsional stability without adding bulk or affecting the stiffness of the racquet. The result is a solid response without sacrificing feel. Our play test team was impressed with the amount of swing speed attained when coming through the contact zone. This, along with an open string pattern enhances the spin. When volleying, the Aerogel 4D 500 offered a crisp feel while able to control depth and direction. The maneuverability makes it easy to get the racquet where it needs to be for solid volleys. Being so versatile and light weight, this racquet makes it easy for customization. In stock form, this stick is a great option for players looking to advance levels, yet aren't ready for the weight of a player's racquet. This fun, easy to hit with stick is ideal for the 4.0+ NTRP rated player.
