Babolat

Boost Aero

beginner202316x19

The Boost Aero is Babolat's most affordable entry into the Pure Aero ecosystem — a 105 sq in beginner frame that borrows the aerodynamic geometry and spin-oriented design from its flagship sibling at a fraction of the price. At under $100, it's the easiest way to get a proper Babolat in your hands without a serious investment.

Our review

The most affordable way to get a proper Babolat with genuine spin technology. Great gift racket for someone starting out. Not a frame you'll keep long-term, but excellent value at the price.

Editorial note

The Boost Aero is exactly what it claims to be: a budget gateway into the Pure Aero family. It's not the Pure Aero, but it's a well-made beginner frame at a price point that removes every excuse not to start playing.
