Babolat Pure Aero 2023

Made popular by Rafael Nadal, the Babolat Pure Aero is one of the game's most legendary racquets. The 2023 generation is updated with flax inserts in the handle and upper hoop. You read that correctly: flax. It's used here as a sustainable way to help soften ball impact. This update also offers slightly tighter string spacing with Babolat's signature FSI Spin technology, allowing for more control when maximising both speed and spin.

"I love the power and spin this racquet generates, combined with the touch on drop shots and volleys. It's the perfect combination between power and control. I also really like the glossy finish, which feels nice in my left hand." - Val, TO Playtester


"I find a plusher feel at impact, which was unexpected, yet I still find the point-winning pace and spin I expect from a Pure Aero. I'm more confident when going for the lines because my shots feel more dialed in with this update." - Chris, TO Playtester


"The 2023 Pure Aero remains true to its heritage with plenty of spin potential and a speedy feel. I felt like I had more control and precision with this update thanks to the slightly denser string spacing, which allowed me to swing aggressively on every shot without fears of overhitting." - Brittany, TO Playtester
