What new tennis racket should I get?

I've decided it's time to get a new tennis racket, but I'm trying to decide between three of them, I'm sticking with Babolat rackets, there is no changing that, it works best for me. But my problem is which one do I get.

I am trying to decide between 3 of them: Babolat Aeropro Control (the racket I currently have which I'm thinking of switching from since they no longer make them and I can only find them at one place), the Babolat Aero Storm, and the Babolat Aeropro Drive Cortex.

My playing style is generally a bit off the baseline with a lot of serve and volley. I can generate good power from beyond the baseline so I need a bit more of a control racket. And finally, I am pretty tall so I have a really long reach to the ball if that makes a difference.

Let me know if you need any more info and I'll let you know. And thanks for your help.

To be honest, they are both similar racquets. However, I personally enjoy using the aero storm more because I am a player who absolutely loves control, and I dislike racquet heads over 98 sq cm because they're generally power racquets and more noob friendly. I would recommend you to get the aero storm, however, there is a catch. If you are not strong enough to use it, it might not be to your liking, but from what you've described you have enough power/skill to use. This racquet will help you to dip your balls into the court with the amount of control it has and the decreased power and increased accuracy. This racquet will also help with your serve as it will make it more accurate and taller players generally have a stronger serve, so this might help you to find that balance that you'll need. The aero storm will also make volleying a piece of cake for you because it doesn't have a bigger impact on the ball than the aero pro drive.

Here is a link to the racquet power map of those 2 racquets:

Another thing to take note, the Aeropro drive racquet has more power overall from the top half of the head because of the 100 sq cm headsize, but the aero storm has more power on the lower half of the sweet spot, this might help you a little when you demo the racquets.

good luck, hopefully you'll have a fun time trying both racquets
