Babolat Pure Aero
Ability level: Intermediate to advanced
Bottom line: Like the player who endorses this racquet (Rafael Nadal), the Pure Aero feels fast and explosive from the baseline. The speedy response and grippy stringbed provide the recipe for hitting heavy spin-loaded balls that drop-down hard. The beauty of this racquet is that it doesn't matter if you're an aspiring beginner or a skilled expert, the benefits of the Pure Aero transcend playing ability and appeal to anyone looking to add a little Rafa to their game.
