Comments: Demo'ed this racquet with a Babolat AeroPro Drive GT Lite and Babolat AeroPro Team. The Donnay Formula had more power, much much better feeling on the ball, and cushion/absorption, however, the spin was the same. The swing speed was faster with the Donnay. What I like about the Donnay the most was the off-center hits due to its Core Technology (stability). This racquet was hitting a lot better on off-center hits, and the sweetspot was bigger too. The stiffness of Babolat racquets (as well as hollow core) after playing for two and a half hours was noticeable. There was no stiffness on Donnay. I also notice that the Donnay frame had almost the same shape as the Babolat racquets. Try it out and see to yourself. In conlusion, the Donnay Formula Lite is a much better racquet than either of the Babolat models tested against. Those who want more power, less stiffness and a lot more feel than the Babolat, this racquet will be your choice.
