I was looking at these two racquets and i was going to buy the aerostrom but when i looked at the aeropro drive, it basically had the same specs except for the fact the aeropro drive was lighter and had a couple of minor changes. do these two racquets play differently even though they have almost the same specs?
if they do, which one plays better at the baseline with more control and plays well at the net?

I prefer the strom and used to play with the aero drive for 9 - 10months
it is stiffer and more stable but less aero dynamic if it is the weight you unsure about the aero storm is coming out at 300g as well as the 320g one

my advice as always is to try them out and decide that way

They play completely different.

The Aero Storm (which will become the Aero Storm Tour in the next months) is a control-oriented racquet. This means that you will need to develop the power for it. The beam is very thin meaning that the racquet sacrifices power to add control. The Aero Storm is also 20 grams heavier and has 1 pt headlight more.

These raquets are not even remotely comparable.

If your arm can develop FAST racquet head speed, and I don't mean uncontrollably fast, I mean controlled fast speed, then the Aero Storm might be the baseliner you're looking for. Remember, it has virtually NO power by itself. You need to seriously swing the stick. If you're still working on improving your game and control, the Aero Pro Drive strikes me as a nice racquet. I have an Aero Storm Tour (320 grams) myself and prefer the Aero Pro Drive Non-Cortex at times.
