Babolat Pure Aero Rafa Collection – Review
Earlier in 2021, Babolat released the Pure Aero Rafa which came with an updated cosmetic inspired by 20-time major winner Rafael Nadal. This racket also came alongside a collection of tennis equipment that sported the bold new design. Throughout 2021, the Pure Aero Rafa collection by Babolat has proven to be extremely popular in the consumer market as the Rafael Nadal brand continues to capture the imagination of amateur tennis players.
Nadal introduced an explosive, exciting style of play to the men’s game way back in 2004 when he first burst onto the scene. Since then, Babolat has helped grow Nadal’s iconic game into an international brand. Rafael Nadal has become more than just a tennis player; he’s become a philosophy. To be ‘Nadal-like’ on a tennis court is to be full of passion, patience, power and determination. In the Pure Aero Rafa collection, Babolat have strived to capture those ideals and represent them in a series of tennis products. If you enjoy continuity in your sports equipment, you can complete the entire Aero Rafa set and get fully co-ordinated.
The Pure Aero was introduced back in 2004 as it was developed for a young Rafael Nadal. Over the years the Pure Aero has become an iconic racket that is loved by players worldwide, both on the professional tours and at local club. The Pure Aero Rafa is the latest in a long line of Pure Aero’s that Babolat have been producing in partnership with Nadal for the last 15 years. Nadal had input in the design of the racket as well as the specs, he loves the ‘happy colours’ that are gracefully woven into the cosmetic of the racket.
