This intermediate-friendly companion to the Rafa Origin offers an easier path to power and spin

Introducing the Pure Aero Rafa the lighter, faster companion to the Rafa Origin. At under 11 ounces strung, this stick makes it easy for intermediate players to load the ball with pace and spin. Like the heavier model endorsed by Nadal, the Pure Aero Rafa does not put a lot of technology between player and ball, resulting in a more "connected feel" at impact (think control). From the baseline, this stick is not only fast enough for whipping up spin or resetting the point with an outstretched flick, it also gives you the advantage of a near-even balance, which helps keep the racquet more stable (and comfortable) through impact. The user-friendly combination of speed and stability continues at net where the Pure Aero Rafa comes around fast to deliver a wonderfully solid feel for its weight class. In addition to Babolat's iconic Aeromodular Beam and Woofer Grommet system, this racquet comes with FSI Spin Technology, which features wider cross spacing for a tighter grip on the ball. Ultimately, the Pure Aero Rafa is not only perfect for the intermediate player looking to go on offense, it should also tempt the more advanced ball striker looking for a lighter spec with fewer tradeoffs in the stability department.

Power and SpinBetter than the regular Pure Aero. Its 290g unstrung weight is deceptive. While it is lighter, it's 3 points more head heavy than the regular Pure Aero which makes it both whippy and powerful. This is the perfect racquet to put a leather grip on. It adds +10g to the weight overall which brings it in line with other similar racquets at the 300g watermark, and makes it more head light. I should also mention that the regular Pure Aero 2023 at 66 RA gave me distinct wrist pain, while I haven't had an issue with this racquet's higher 69 RA which was weird. Having said that, I should mention that sometimes my arm is a bit sore after 2+ hours of usage but I've been using it for months and it wasn't anything that made me pause using it.

Nice frame but didn't love the balance.The near even balance made the frame too slow for my taste. I added some weight in the handle for a more head light balance. It now swings more quickly and with more whip. Settled on 11.5 oz strung and 5 points head light. Love the paint job!

Power and attitudeCome for the racquet, stay for the color. Pure Aero Rafa is going to have you hammering top spin ground strokes like the king of clay. Excellent balance of power and control, with a soft touch. Add in the retro late 80's florescent colors and you're gonna feel like Agassi at Roland Garros in 1990 rocking the Hot Lava. If you're playing at some old school, stuffed shirt, kinda club this is gonna have the old guard off their game before the first serve is hit. Bringing the heat and the attitude to the court with the Pure Aero Rafa.

ReviewGreat racquet. It is aesthetically pleasing with good control and power. Highly recommend, it will take adjusting if you are used to an extended length, but it was worth it.
