    I was buying trainers with my wife and saw that the store was selling the new Babolat rackets and checked em out.

    The Sattelite Synchro felt good and had this cute "guide" on the top of the grip for your thumb when you backhand, I guess.

    Has anyone tried it out?

    You can ask LazyBuddy what he thinks of his since he owns one. I believe he doesn't use stiff racquets so I'm guessing it is a pretty soft racquet/rather flexible.

    Yeah, that's called "pilot system". Very handy when come to short serve. Sig. improved my serve accuracy.

    Very use for for quick backhand flip, such as backhand short serve, quick lift, etc. Gain way much more control on direction, when u holding the "cone".

    Smart design.

    The cone design can match both the function and brand logo, excellent design!!!:D

    In fact that, I have a comet, the shaft is not very stiff but it is suitable for me.

    Babolat Synchro

    I have a Synchro and I think it's far and away the bets racquet I have ever used and much more suited to my game than any Yonex racquet I've tried.

    It's a well-balanced racquet with a fairly light, very fast head, but there's a bit of whip in the shaft and unbelievable power for a racquet that's primarily aimed at defence. It also has great touch. It's well-built, looks good, and has proved very rugged over many months. My next racquet will definitely be another one of these if I can find one. Highly recommended for a defensive player, and other racquets in the Babolat range will, I'm sure, offer similar quality and great value.:)
