Bonjour from Babolat

[jim e]

Since Babolat now has a new logo, when will TW or anyone have the stencil for this?
I see that it is 2 wide lines not all the way across with what looks like about a 45 degree bevel on the left side of the lines.

We've made stencils and are sending them to retail accounts

Not sure what is being implied...but yes, all pros will be using the new stencil, logo, etc.

On the PD 2012, I believe there was the "old" logo on the buttcap. Will the players using a PD 2012 still have the "old" logo buttcap that comes with the racket (retail), or will the buttcaps be switched to the "new" logo?

When do you think we are able to purchase them?

Print one up and make it in the meantime.

Sorry if you've already answered this, but why on earth did they change the logo? It was so iconic and easily identified but now it looks bland and somewhat generic.

Sorry but I have to disagree there. Put me down as one who definitely prefers the new logo. Even though I haven't owned a Babolat since the Pure Control Team back when I was 14/15.

Loving the new logo.

I know you can't answer but am keenly awaiting news on what it was that Tsknga was playing with that had the new Bab logo but was all blacked out. Didn't look like any of the current frames to me.

Call me old fashion but i dont like the new logo, i liked the original double line the most, in some rackets it looked very classy and cool (like Boris or Pete's racket)

To each their own. I've come around on it. And it makes marketing/branding much easier for us long term.

I dont like it either. Seeing the new logo stenciled on racquets on tv from a Australia it looks like someone was in a rush and did not finish the stencil. Also seeing the new logo graphic in print ads or on the racquet it looks like to me a tail logo of a air line.

British Airways is what comes to mind.

No Air France
Tail Logo is a good analogy, but I see this as a Plus. makes it look sharper, edgier. I wasn't sure about it myself picking up & selling through new frames.

But seriously I have been using Babolat strings for over 25years.
loved the development of the brand, the new logo does grow on you.
As Daniel said, too each their own.
I understand why they went for the logo change.
Haven't set my old rackets up yet with new stencil but looking forward to testing all the new aeros next week.
Will then decide whether or not to change frames in 2013.

Same here, hate it, though I don't use a stencil anyhow. This would be like Wilson changing their W logo.

"I loved one of your Pure Control models about 10 years ago (the one weighing around 11.5 oz), but all of your Pure Storms (its replacement?) just don't feel the same. Guess there's no chance of bringing the Control back, eh?"
Hi, I am still using the Pure Control but have to (finally) step up and buy some new racquets. I couldn't find an answer to this question though. Is the Pure Storm the one that you would recommend to replace the Pure Control? It looks to me like the specs are very similar and the reviews would make me think so. Is the latest Pure Storm different from the previous Pure Storm? Big diff in prices!
Thanks for any help. Appreciate your being here!

The Pure Storm would be the closest in terms of specs and being our "classic" feeling racquet line. However, I've read on the boards that some players don't get the same feel from the Pure Storm as they did with the Pure Control. Best to try it out before purchasing.

Thanks for using our product.
