Babolat is releasing a racquet designed with and endorsed by one of the greatest players of all time, Rafael Nadal! In this episode we learn everything we could want and MORE about this new frame!
Completely unique in spec, it boasts a swingweight above 370 (!!!) and a stiffness rating of 70, while the strung weight is just under 12 ounces. We had the chance to speak with Olivier Carlier, Babolat's Global Marketing Manager in the racquet category and picked his brain about this one of a kind frame!
We asked him things like:
- How did this racquet come about?!
- Take a deep dive into the specs and materials
- What was it like working with Rafa?! What makes him so unique (swinging such a hefty racquet as efficiently as he does, Rafa's idiosyncrasies and superstitions; etc.)
- What is the best string set up for this racquet?
- What is Rafa's string set up?
- Advantages of high stiffness
- The cosmetics and how much of a role Rafa played
- How does this racquet differ from the Pure Aero
- and more!
While we can't all swing as effectively as Rafa, players will find the racquet to absorb and redirect pace, load balls with tons of mass and rock solid stability from everywhere on the court. And this is as close to what Rafa uses that you can get! Even if you can't swing it, it would be a great collectible for any Rafa fan!
