The BABOLAT PURE AERO RAFA (290g) is a performance tennis racket engineered for players who thrive on explosive spin, precision, and speed. Inspired by Rafael Nadal’s signature style, this racket delivers the aggressive power and spin that defines his legendary game. With a 290-gram unstrung weight, it offers a slightly lighter frame compared to the standard Pure Aero Rafa, making it more maneuverable while still packing the spin-friendly punch that Aero frames are known for.
Designed with the latest generation AEROMODULAR beam technology, the PURE AERO RAFA optimizes aerodynamics to help players swing faster and generate extreme spin with ease. The frame is reinforced with FSI SPIN technology, incorporating wider string spacing and spin grommets that allow the strings to move more freely, gripping the ball longer to maximize spin potential. Whether you’re hitting heavy topspin forehands, sharp cross-court angles, or aggressive kick serves, this racket is built to amplify spin and control.
At 290 grams, this model strikes a balance between maneuverability and stability. The reduced weight makes it easier to handle for intermediate players or those who prefer quicker reactions at the net, while still maintaining enough mass to deliver penetrating groundstrokes. Its even balance ensures versatility across baseline rallies, net play, and defensive shots, making it suitable for all-around aggressive play styles.
Comfort is enhanced through vibration-dampening technologies that absorb shock and reduce arm fatigue during extended matches. This makes the racket not only a high-performance weapon but also a reliable choice for players who want to protect their arm while still hitting with intensity. The 100 sq. in. head size provides a generous sweet spot, increasing forgiveness on off-center hits without sacrificing precision.
Visually, the PURE AERO RAFA (290g) stands out with its bold, vibrant color design inspired by Nadal’s energy and passion. It’s more than just a racket—it’s a statement of confidence and power. Players who choose this frame are embracing the aggressive, spin-dominant style of play that has made Nadal one of the greatest in history.
Whether you are an ambitious intermediate player looking to develop a spin-heavy game or an advanced competitor seeking a lighter, more maneuverable version of the Rafa frame, the BABOLAT PURE AERO RAFA (290g) delivers unmatched performance. With its aerodynamic design, spin-maximizing technologies, and iconic look, it gives you the tools to dominate every rally with confidence and authority.
