Explosive spin. Champion energy.
 
The Babolat Pure Aero Rafa Gen 1 is inspired by Rafael Nadal’s relentless style of play and built for players who want to attack with heavy spin, power, and intensity. Designed to help you dictate points from the baseline, this racquet delivers explosive topspin and confident control for aggressive, high-energy tennis.
 
Built on the Pure Aero DNA, the Rafa Gen 1 features a 100 sq. inch head and an open 16x19 string pattern to maximise spin and depth, allowing you to swing freely and shape the ball with ease. Its aerodynamic frame profile promotes fast racquet head speed, making it easier to generate the heavy topspin needed to push opponents deep behind the baseline.
 
With a solid 300g unstrung weight and balanced 320mm balance, the Pure Aero Rafa Gen 1 offers excellent stability without sacrificing manoeuvrability. The firm 71 RA stiffness provides a crisp, powerful response at contact, ideal for players who like to hit through the court and play with intensity.
 
Finished with Nadal-inspired cosmetics and fitted with a Syntec Pro grip, this racquet is perfect for competitive players and strong intermediates who want to play with spin, confidence, and unmistakable Rafa style.
