This intermediate-friendly companion to the Rafa Origin offers an easier path to power and spin

Introducing the Pure Aero Rafa the lighter, faster companion to the Rafa Origin. At under 11 ounces strung, this stick makes it easy for intermediate players to load the ball with pace and spin. Like the heavier model endorsed by Nadal, the Pure Aero Rafa does not put a lot of technology between player and ball, resulting in a more "connected feel" at impact (think control). From the baseline, this stick is not only fast enough for whipping up spin or resetting the point with an outstretched flick, it also gives you the advantage of a near-even balance, which helps keep the racquet more stable (and comfortable) through impact. The user-friendly combination of speed and stability continues at net where the Pure Aero Rafa comes around fast to deliver a wonderfully solid feel for its weight class. In addition to Babolat's iconic Aeromodular Beam and Woofer Grommet system, this racquet comes with FSI Spin Technology, which features wider cross spacing for a tighter grip on the ball. Ultimately, the Pure Aero Rafa is not only perfect for the intermediate player looking to go on offense, it should also tempt the more advanced ball striker looking for a lighter spec with fewer tradeoffs in the stability department.

Best Racquet I Have Used So FarI have gone back and forth between Wilson, Head, and Babolat. I have never been able to find a racket that has control on both my backhand and forehand while also giving me so much power until I tested this racquet. I get compliments on it all the time and it has single handedly saved my 3.5 rating tennis game! I couldn't recommend this product enough! Especially if you have tennis elbow, its a lighter racquet and absorbs shock very well.

ExcellentRecently bought and have played with this racquet. If I could give 10 stars I would. My style of play is aggressive baseline and net playing. This racquet is excellent in my opinion and worth every penny. From shot placement, power, spin and serving I have nothing negative to say about this racquet.

Freaking amazing feeling racketI am concerned about the power of the frame having seen the TW reviews, but after I tried it, realized that it was no issue at all. The spin keeps the ball in and give great confidence is cutting the ball from all angles of the court. Coming from 100 inch Pure Aero 2023, and wanting to experience the Rafa-style racquet, this racquet clearly didn't disappoint. This racquet is no ordinary 290g racquet. It feels much heavier to swing - heavier than my pure aero 2023, and I believe will require an intermediate level of skill to fully utilitize its potential. I feel tired after swinging this for 1hr of intensive rally, and started to be lazy in my strokes, then mistakes starts to appear (like all racquets when I’m tired). Overall very surprised by the stability, power, spin, and control (yes - I feel confident in the control maybe because of the spin). And the feel…it’s very different from the Pure Aero 2023. Not in a bad way, but very interesting sensation. You have to try to experience it. And no elbow issues despite the stiffness rating.
