Babolat Pure Aero Origin
Almost the same racket as Rafael Nadal uses. It has a head size of 100 sq. inches, unstrung weight of 317 grams, a balance of 330 mm, and a string pattern of 16×19. If this racket that Nadal plays with is too heavy for you then also the lighter version of Babolat Pure Aero Rafa is available.
Babolat Pure Aero Rafa has the same specifications as Pure Aero Origin except for the weight. Pure Aero Rafa is only 290 grams which makes it more playable for the general public.

Head Radical and Gravity with Auxetic technology
Head added new Auxetic technology to its Radical and Gravity tennis rackets. Auxetic materials behave really counterintuitive. They get thinner when compressed and fatter when stretched along their length.
Auxetic technology added to Head tennis racket frames should improve the feel of your shots. The better feeling provides more control to the players which would leads to using more spin and pace.
