Can someone explain the difference with each dunlop aerogel series?

im trying to choose a new racket


i am the net player in doubles so one of these aerogel racket would be good for my volleys


but there are so many (the 300, 500, 800, etc.) so i would like to know the differences between them so i can make a better informed decision on what im buying|||The simple answer: The lower numbers have more control, the higher numbers will help you create more power.





Basically, if you look through the list, the lower numbers tend to have smaller head sizes, are heavier, and are head-light. The 200 and 300 are both pretty advanced frames. When you get higher, like the 900 and 1000, they have large head sizes, are very lightweight, and head-heavy. These types of frames are good for beginners who haven't yet developed a full swing, and thus can't create enough power on their own.





Now, if you're looking for something that will be good at the net for doubles, head-heavy frames are a bad idea. Because of their balance, they are very difficult to maneuver at the net, which will in effect slow your reaction times.





The 800, 900, and 1000, which you said appeal to you most, would not be good for net play at all. I would urge you to go for the 300 or 500. If you are set on having a lighter frame, the 500 is a good option. It's slightly head-light, which will give it much better performance at the net than the 800, 900, or 1000.





The 300 is slightly heavier yet, but will give you a lot of control, while still being a fairly forgiving stick. If you look to really improve your game, you might want to make the investment on the 300 for the future. This racquet will last you longer as you improve than the 500 would, which means you wouldn't have to go through finding another racquet as soon.|||the higher the number (200 compared to 500) means that the head size is bigger and frame is wider. (subsequently less power, more control)





i assume youre an older player. if so, i guess youre playing a lot of doubles, you should go with a higher number in the series.
