Oh well, one of two things.
Its redcode or pro supex big ace, because they are just about the only good polys that come in red. So he might be looking for a new string over his cheap 15L duralast...we might see nadal get even better, yikes.
OR, Babolat wants him to advertise the Aeropro Storm so they are trying to make Duralast in a Red color so Nadals racket and strings match color.
Sounds far fetched, but I bet aesthetics are important to Nadal, look at how he dresses hah.

Yeah, someone should ask a Babolat Rep. This would definately help. You know to clear things up.

(note the sarcasm)

If i had to guess i would say it is some type of babolat string in development. I think babolat is pretty good to him so I doubt he would switch strings.
Yeah I'd have to agree with you...does his contract even allow him to use anything other than Babolat strings?

As long as everyone thinks he is using Babolat strings I don't think they care. Like he uses duralast, but is always advertised as using pro hurricane tour.

i think its a red version of his string. people think he uses pht, but he has something more like duralast in it, due to the translucent color. the red strings were clear, so thats what i assume

has anyone asked a Babolat rep regarding this video?? It would be interesting to see what they have to say (providing they don't ignore the question)!!

Since he doesn't use Pro Hurricane Tour, it's even funnier.

Not the same shade as Redcode. Looks more like Big Ace (red) in color but probably more than likely an accidental sneak preview of soon to be released string by Babolat in red.

Apparently Babolat has "no knowledge" of him switching or using "any" type of red string.
