The BABOLAT Unstrung PURE AERO RAFA (290g) is a high-performance tennis racket crafted for players who want explosive spin, power, and maneuverability—all inspired by Rafael Nadal’s aggressive style of play. This version comes unstrung, giving players the freedom to customize their string setup according to their playing preferences, whether it’s maximizing spin, control, or durability.
Weighing in at 290 grams unstrung, this racket strikes the ideal balance between stability and easy handling. Compared to heavier versions of the Pure Aero Rafa, this lighter frame offers faster swing speeds and greater maneuverability, making it a great choice for ambitious intermediate players as well as advanced competitors seeking quicker reactions at the net and on defense. The even balance ensures versatility, delivering power from the baseline while maintaining precision for volleys and returns.
The racket features AEROMODULAR beam technology, designed to enhance aerodynamics and allow players to swing faster for greater spin production. Combined with FSI SPIN technology, the frame uses wider string spacing and specialized grommets that promote string movement. This results in more ball bite, longer dwell time, and ultimately, heavier topspin. Aggressive baseliners will appreciate how easily this racket lets them dictate rallies with depth, spin, and pace.
With its 100 sq. in. head size, the PURE AERO RAFA (290g) provides a generous sweet spot, increasing forgiveness on off-center shots without sacrificing precision. The frame construction also integrates vibration-dampening technologies, which reduce shock and improve comfort—helping players maintain confidence and consistency during long matches.
Visually, the racket carries Nadal’s signature bold and vibrant design, making it instantly recognizable on the court. It reflects not only performance but also passion and energy, embodying the fighting spirit that has defined Nadal’s legendary career.
One of the key advantages of the Unstrung version is personalization. Competitive players can string the racket to their exact tension and material preference, ensuring maximum compatibility with their playing style. Whether you want polyester strings for maximum spin and durability, multifilament for comfort, or a hybrid setup for balance, this unstrung version gives you the flexibility to make the racket truly your own.
The BABOLAT Unstrung PURE AERO RAFA (290g) is perfect for players who want to unleash heavy spin, hit with controlled power, and enjoy a lighter yet aggressive frame. It delivers the essential tools to dominate rallies, pressure opponents, and elevate your game—while giving you the freedom to choose the string setup that fits your style best.
