The Babolat Pure Aero Rafa Origin is a competition frame for players who want heavy topspin and high swing inertia. It is the second generation of the Pure Aero Rafa line, developed with Rafael Nadal and close to his playing specification.
Unstrung weight is 317 g ± 7 g and swingweight is 335. Balance is 330 mm ± 7 mm, which Babolat lists as 4 points head-light. Set against the standard Pure Aero at 320 mm and 7 points head-light, this frame sits closer to the head. The mix of weight, balance and swingweight produces a heavier ball.
Technologies
- AeroModular 3 uses an aerodynamic frame for faster head speed.
