Fit: Holger Rune has advanced through the ranks at Babolat and Nike.
The Aero 98 is the most controlled and subdued model in the series because of its smaller head and thinner, more flexible beam. The frame can also strike narrower windows and use more varied strategies thanks to its 16×20 string arrangement.
However, it is still an Aero and can produce a lively ball with lots of spin and speed. It just calls for cleaner contact and more swing from the user, which is something that better players—the intended audience for the frame—will undoubtedly value.
Offering the frame as a single or in matching pairs will also appeal to them. The planned maximum weight variance for the two matched racquets is about 1 gram, which is far less than the industry standard. For players that need more than one racquet for competition, it’s a good assurance.
100% recyclable polyester was used in the construction of this crew, which fits slim. It is designed to not only expertly wick away perspiration from the body but also to minimize its negative environmental effects.
Its unique shoulder seam design allows for unrestricted mobility and a pleasant feel, while the two-tone front and back give it a fashionable appearance.
These elastic, woven shorts can conform to the most demanding court coverage because of the spandex in them. Mobility is increased by the overlapping hem vents on the sides. A drawstring and elastic waistband for a snug, comfortable fit. There are two inseam options: 7 and 9 inches.
Rune is a fan of the Vapor Pro series; the most recent model has been improved with increased comfort and shock absorption. This low-profile, lightweight type is designed for athletes seeking a supportive, quick-drying shoe.
In low-wear regions, rubber has been removed to reduce weight and maintain the shoe’s flexibility. The full-length frame that encircles the shoe and offers support and structure even during the most forceful cuts is what gives the shoe its stability.
Every step has more bounce thanks to Zoom Air in the forefoot and the cushioned midsole, which absorbs court contact. The data-driven design of the outsole provides the ideal balance of give and grip.
