Our verdict
The 2025 Air Vertuo is last season's edition of Babolat's light precision frame: 360 g, head-heavy tuned for a little natural weight on the ball, with a 3K face and EVA core scoring the same card as its successor: control 78, power 72, comfort 73, tolerance 74. Value 78 matches too, which makes the buying rule familiar: the 2026 carries an 18K face and current paint, this one carries a 3K face and clearance pricing. If the premium face matters to your touch game, buy new; if the invoice matters more, this vintage is the same sensible racket for less.

This carries the same genuinely kind numbers as its successor — forgiving control, fair comfort and tolerance — in a head-heavy build that adds a little free depth to lobs. Clearance pricing keeps sharpening the value the longer it sits on shelves. The carbon face here is a step down from the newer edition's premium weave, so you will feel a difference in touch, and placement rather than power is how this frame finishes points. Being older stock, check condition.
