Start with your exact Pure Aero
“Pure Aero setup” is a starting description, not a complete specification. Record the version and model you own, then confirm its stringing guidance before choosing a tension. A setup described for another generation or variant is a reference to investigate, not an instruction to copy.
The first goal is to establish what you already have and what you want to change: response, control, durability, cost or simply a setup you can reproduce.
Reconstruct the baseline
Use the stringing receipt if available. Save the string's full name, gauge, reference tension and units, plus whether the racket has a full bed or hybrid. Add the date and approximate hours since stringing.
If the racket was a demo, ask for the demo's setup and age when possible. A fresh job in the same model may not recreate an older demo stringbed, especially when its original details are unknown.
Make one comparison useful
Choose one main question for the next job. Testing another tension is easier to interpret when the frame, string and gauge stay consistent. Testing a new string is easier to remember when you keep the original job details and compare after similar court time.
Write a short note after each session. Separate “broke after this many hours” from “I preferred the earlier response”. Both are useful outcomes, but they answer different questions.
Keep paired rackets separate
If you own two Pure Aero frames, label their records so the same-looking rackets do not become one history. Match each session and restring to the correct frame. A backup racket may have older strings by date and fewer hours of play.
Is RPM Blast the automatic choice?
A familiar racket-and-string pairing does not settle which setup suits you. Compare the actual results and discuss material choices with your stringer. Do not assume a player's endorsement or another person's lifespan applies to your game.
Tennistory keeps the racket, setup and care record together so you can reproduce a useful result or explain what you want to change next time.
