Tour-level power. Rafa’s true feel.
 
The Babolat Pure Aero Rafa Origin Gen 2 is a rare, limited-release racquet created to replicate the specifications closest to Rafael Nadal’s personal match frame. Designed as a one-time production run, this racquet is built for advanced players who want to experience the raw, uncompromising feel of a true tour-level weapon.
 
Unlike the standard Pure Aero models, the Rafa Origin Gen 2 features no dampening technology between the player and the ball, delivering direct, unfiltered feedback at contact. The result is an exceptionally connected feel that rewards clean technique and precise timing — exactly what high-level players demand.
 
Signature Aeromodular beam geometry and Babolat’s Woofer grommet system provide aerodynamic efficiency, improved dwell time, and excellent stability against heavy pace. A firm 70 RA stiffness delivers a crisp, powerful response, while the defining feature of this racquet is its extremely high swingweight, giving it exceptional plow-through and the ability to absorb and redirect the heaviest shots with authority.
 
This added mass makes the Rafa Origin Gen 2 demanding to swing, but players who can handle it will be rewarded with massive groundstroke depth, penetrating pace, and rock-solid stability at net. Generating heavy, spin-loaded angles requires advanced timing and technique — just as it does for Rafa himself.
 
Part collector’s item and part high-performance tour frame, the Pure Aero Rafa Origin Gen 2 is a must-have for serious players who want to experience what it truly feels like to swing a professional-level racquet. Available in limited quantities.
