nadal new racquet

[baros]

in the latest issue of smash tennis magazine they have in the racquet section the new babolat aeropro drive cortex set for release in may its white and yellow.

[nn]

so finally new one for Nadal..

[TokyopunK]

This has already been talked about in the Racquets section.

[Roforot]

Now he can finally beat Federer!

[Steve Huff]

It's all the racket, I'm sure.

[chaz_233]

How come he hasn't gotten a signature racket?

[127mph]

How come he hasn't gotten a signature racket?

cause hes not as good as someone like andy roddick

[chaz_233]

Can't stand either of them but it would look like Nadal is better, no? Have they have played each other?

cause hes not as good as someone like andy roddick

[Borat]

Nadal cant have THE K-FACTOR if he is with babolat. Thusly, he will never beat fed again.

[Jonny S&V]

Yes, they are even 1-1 I think. Roddick beat him at the 2004 US Open and Nadal beat him in the Davis Cup Finals.

Thusly?!?!?! You've been hanging out in the Babolat Knights Thread a little too long, have you not?

[Borat]

Thusly. No that hard to pick up.

[master935]

Can anyone show a pic of this racket, or a link to the pic?

[SamaRafa]

this is probably true
i found a pic yesterday, with the new Babaolat aero Pro Bag
he might be using it in PLO

[Fedace]

in the latest issue of smash tennis magazine they have in the racquet section the new babolat aeropro drive cortex set for release in may its white and yellow.

racket has nothing to do with rafa's ability to beat fed, and nadal does not need any power, maybe little better volleying racket perhaps. he already has pretty good racket and he just needs to improve his hard court game by flattening his shots out more.

[Orly_Yarly]

hes not upgrading to k90 yet??

[WhiteSox05CA]

His racquet is already perfectly tuned to his super-spin game.

He'll probably only maybe make some minor changes in his weighting or tension in this new racquet.

Is he using the APD Cortex at the PLO?

[yonexred2113]

[BluDiamond]

[SamaRafa]

i think its called "Rafa's got a new bag "

[Fedal07]

Pics would be great. Thanks.

[Skppr05]

I swear i made a thread like this weeks ago and NOBODY said a thing

[Fedal07]

Skppr, do you have pics?

[chiru]

[Hewitt Aussie]

[Hewitt Aussie]

here ya go.

keep scrolling down to see the pic. There have been many threads with pictures in it. You should have done a search.

[Fedal07]

Thanks H A. Sorry. Im new here.

[squints]

How come he hasn't gotten a signature racket?

cause he has signature pants?

[chiru]

i thought the old one looked way classier. I donno i just have this thing against creamish colored rackets.

[jura]

It's not creamish, just the pic looks like this on the monitor. It's clear yellow/white/black. Just played it yesterday: Same like the old one with a more solid and soft touch.

[datsveryinterestin]

If you have one (APDwC) ... TAKE PICTURES AND POST THEM!!!

please! tx

[master935]

There is a new pic and review of the APD'C in this months issue of tennis mag. Just go to tennis.com and they will have their new reviews down near the bottom of the main page.

[Safina]

I'm really looking for a picture of someone holding it, "in real life", not
a publicity photo. I have seen the pics from SMASH and TENNIS mags, but I am looking for some other photos.

Nadal has to start practicing with it at some point, but I guess not until after MIAMI. Spy shots would be great!

[Fedal07]

So you guys think Rafa will use the PDC pj at Miami??

We shall see.

[LarougeNY]

10 bucks says he starts using it at the FO. Not gonna pay anyone though. duh.

[oscar_2424]

he was practicing today with the older APD.

[Hewitt Aussie]

he was practicing today with the older APD.

your right, people posted pictures of him pracicing at miami, and he had the old apd in his hands.

[kanjii]

You mean current apd, right?

[Fedal07]

Yes the current one. I agree he will debut the APDC at Paris.

[Fedace]

Is he really going to switch to this? would he PJ his old frame? If he PJs then can we tell by the way throat looks like?

Sounds like the beginning of a whole new pj thread...like the one's of Roddick and his PDR.

I just hope the price doesn't go up when it comes in.

[BluDiamond]

the price was on the tennis magazine ad

It will probably be 199 dollars like the other cortex racquets. Then we´ll see the Pure Storm Cortex next. Every Babolat racquet will have cortex before it´s done. Just like every Head racquet had flexpoint. Now it´s Microgel´s turn. All these ¨technologies¨is bull. Tungsten, Hyper Carbon, Ti, Intelligence, Power Holes, Rollers, Plutonium, blah, blah, etc. I think Wilson is the most guilty of changing technologies so frequently. I stopped using them once they discontinued the 6.1 ProStaff (black with orange and red highlights).

[Ripper]

Now that Rafa spanked Andy's butt at the PLO, will he be getting his signature Bab?

How did Andy get a signature stick? Nadal, Moya and Gonzo should have them instead. Yes? No?

[BluDiamond]

i agree that moya should maybe after he retires and perhaps nadal cos not many pros use his racket but not gonzalez

[kanjii]

Just received an email from Babolat, the racquet will hit stores by June 1st. Hmmmm...maybe shoulda asked if it will be Nadal's signature racquet too.

[Heavy Metal Tennis Star]

i just saw a pic of his new stick in the latest tennis magazine issue, it loks like it has a bit of dirty white on it or possibly beige, lol wtf?.

[BluDiamond]

yeh it looks pretty horrible in the pics but im sure we'll change our minds when it actually comes out

[TheAeropro]

Yes, they are even 1-1 I think. Roddick beat him at the 2004 US Open and Nadal beat him in the Davis Cup Finals.

Well, Nadal rolled over Roddick at Indian Wells

[103xStateChamp]

Federer dosnt use the K-factor (paint job)
