I heard Nadal will be switching to the new Wilson Pete Sampras PS 6.0 90 because he wants to become a pure serve and volley player now.

If Nadal switched to that racquet he would be out of the top 10 and wouldn't win another French Open.

So you agree that Nadal is only where he is because of his racquet. Interesting.
You're right though, if Nadal had to use the same racquet as Federer, Nadal would have never beaten Federer at any French Opens nor at Wimbledon.

haha i would like to see nadal with pro staff
ncode or kfactor are also fine
he would be in top 333 for sure
even though pro staff and ncode are 2 best rackets ever made
Yep, he signed a deal with them for 10 years.....
that was when the new cortex stick came out (even though he doesnt use it)
so he's got like 9 left

that why federer uses his racquet and nadal uses his, because they have always played with the same sort of frame. And even if nadal switched I still think he would be top 10.

Its amazing that Nadal does so well with that hollow toy. If Nadal switched to Agassis racket he'd probably be #1 by a long way.

federer may not have won as many slams as he did if he used nadal's racquet either....it goes both ways....
they pick whatever racquet suits their style

Then why do people here keep harping that Federer should switch to a bigger racquet if he wants to win more?
Also, with Nadal's racquet, Federer should be able to generate even more topspin and have even a bigger serve.

Nadal is sticking with the current paintjob for the time being. A new racket takes approximately 18 months to fully develop. I'm not sure if Babolat have started working on new Aero Rackets yet, but i've a feeling there will be a new Pure Drive in 2009 and also some beginner rackets.

Radical? Radical feels a lot more hollow than AeroPro. AeroPro doesn't even feel hollow. It feels smooth, yet crisp.

If Nadal won the Frech open then the Artois tournament and then Wimbeldon maybe he is happy with his.
I agree the APDC does feel very smooth and crisp. The racquet has a lot of feel.

the question is why hasnt babolat created a signature nadal aeropro. I mean that racquet pretty much symbolizes rafa. It stands out so much people automatically know its rafas racquet even if they dont watch tennis that much. I mean they created a roddick racquet and he hasnt won a grandslam in 5 years. Im sure the next line of aeros will have a nadal signature racquet.
Finally! Somebody else thought about it.

Meh, it's not that great. My brother was crazy to get it, and when he did, I tryed it. It's kind of heavy and makes a huge vibration when I hit with it.

And if Federer had to use Nadal's racquet where do you think he would be? Now that is an interesting question.

Federer would win every match he ever played without losing a single point. :shock:

in fact, he would pull out the racquets. his opponents would think to themselves: oh....my god...fed is playing me using rafa's sticks...
and as the realization dawns on them, they die, thereby forfeiting the match. federer would win a calender slam 15 times in a row without ever hitting a tennis ball, and then retire because there would be no more pro's left to kill

Perhaps to signify a possible 5th French Open title??? As far as i know they aren't developing one yet though.

no he won't switch....unless Fed switches :wink:
Wow the APDC has a lot of feel? Time to try other racquets.
I think Nadal's topspin and closed string patterns won't mix too well.
dont forget less shanks on his backhand side
If it was a shank on a 90, what do you expect the shot to be on a 100? A blistering winner?
It'll most likely also be a shank or a fluffy sitter at best.

Nor would Federer win any opens if he had to play with Nadal's.
