For the new "Rafa-themed" Pure Aero racquets, Babolat has refreshed the design and adjusted the specs of this racquet to make it suitable for intermediate to advanced players looking for spin and power with an easier swinging experience than the heavier Origin and even last year's edition.
The headsize at 100 square inches provides a blend of control and power with a forgiving feel. Coupled with the headsize, the open string pattern has a lively feel with easier access to spin. The weight being an average weight at 10.2 ounces (unstrung) is lighter than the previous generation's model which means this racquet is more accessible by maintaing good general stability and stopping power for increased power potential and strong returns while bringing lightweight feel for enhanced maneuverability granting easier movement for net-play, serves and quick returns. While this racquet has a slight head-light balance (unstrung), it is more head heavy than before which increases the racquet’s swing weight and stability, resulting in punishing strokes loaded with power. The beam thickness enhances and optimizes the stability of the frame for greater energy transfer and power across the string-bed, while the shape of the racquet's mold increases aerodynamics to allow faster swings and therefore higher spin and power potential.
This edition of the Pure Aero Rafa is sure to be a hit with a wide variety of players due to its more accessible, easier-to-swing setup. This racquet adds depth and spin to your shots as you push your opponents deep in the court and wear them down. Own a piece of Rafa and Babolat history while supplies last.
