Babolat Pure Aero La Decima Racquet – Tennisnerd

The Babolat Pure Aero La Decima Racquet is here. In 2017 Rafael Nadal won his tenth Roland Garros title, also known as “La Decima”. This is obviously a great marketing opportunity for Babolat to launch a “La Decima Pure Aero” racquet and bag.

So what is new with the Babolat Pure Aero La Decima Pure Aero racquet if you compared it with the traditional Babolat Pure Aero? Well, nothing really. It’s just a paint job. Similar to what Wilson did when they blacked-out the Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autograph and increased the price. The Babolat Pure Aero La Decima racquet arguably looks cool but can a paint job justify a price tag? For a lot of buyers and fans of Rafael Nadal, I’m pretty sure it can.

Is Nadal really playing with the Babolat Pure Aero La Decima racquet?

As most tennis nerds and racquetholics know, Rafael Nadal is not playing with the Babolat Pure Aero, but with the first edition of the racquet line, the Babolat AeroPro Drive Original. He has also been increasing the amount of lead tape on the racquet to increase his power and to become more dangerous on faster courts. It would have been interesting if they had released a Babolat Pure Aero Rafael Nadal Autograph instead with an increased weight and swing weight instead of just a pure paint job.

• Cod: BR1062 
• Mod: 101385
  

I think the bag makes a little more sense as it incorporates all his RG titles into the design.
