Tweener category rackets in the recent years have multiplied in popularity. They are becoming increasingly popular on tour with even Rafael Nadal using the AeroPro Drive to outpower his
opponents. The standard of tennis, even at club level these days is so high that more and more
players turn to tweener rackets as they have a great degree of control without sacrificing the
comfort and power factor. As a result, this is also a segment flooded with choice with each
manufacturer fighting hard for a bigger chunk of this market.
