The Babolat Pure Aero Rafa features an exciting and new cosmetic for 2021 that reflects the raw energy and passion from the greatest ever clay court player the world has ever seen.

Compared to earlier model the version 7 Aero offers more control, softness plus a better feel that keeps its tradition of power and spin! This racquet is great for players who use spin as their weapon of choice to dominate the court like the style of game Rafael Nadel has perfected over the last 15 years with his Pure Aero.

At 11.2 ounces strung weight this frame is ideal for intermediate to advanced players looking for baseline dominance. Apart from a change in cosmetic the big change for this iteration is more flex to deliver a more arm-friendly response on ball contact.

Babolat has also moved the Cortex dampening material to the head at 3 & 9 o'clock to help soften the feel. The 2021 Aero is still very much a lively beast on contact but no longer has that harsh feel on impact.

This racquet responds superbly to players who seek power and optimal spin, like Rafael Nadal.

Product Technology:
- Aeromodular 2: This technology features the woofer system built in the mid-section of the frame for a more aerodynamic feel offering greater head speed.
- FSI Spin: This refers to the more open string pattern offering a redefined sweet spot with more oblong grommets at 6 & 12 o'clock. This allows greater string movement allowing you to generate maximum spin.
- Evo Beam: Featuring different thicknesses throughout the beam (23/26/23mm) allows better stability at ball impact and more power.

The Woofer system that we know in the Aero range of racquets is still present in the Pure Aero even though it is no longer visible. The Cortex dampening is also still located at the top of the handle.
