    Rafa’s NEW racquet paintjob

    I've used all the generations of the Pure Aero from start to even the unreleased 2019 model. Again, I'm not saying that it isn't a paint job. Simply saying that Babolat is claiming that this is Nadal's new frame and the review supported and reviewed that. This latest version is a great racket -...

    Rafa’s NEW racquet paintjob

    Aware of that. All that was said was that Nadal is not into heavy mods. He's pretty simple when it comes to his racket.

    Rafa’s NEW racquet paintjob

    No one ever said that Nadal was not using an earlier version of the Pure Aero. All that was said was that this is the new racket that he's endorsing and the review of it. Babolat has made a new Pure Aero and that's a fact. You're getting excited here and talking about irrelevant stuff trying to...

    Rafa’s NEW racquet paintjob

    Babolat is one of the few companies that doesn't have to do heavy mods on their frames and players are using pretty much what you see. The new Pure Aero plays a lot like the Pure Drive. That's what Nadal wanted as well. Have zero time for trolling you or anyone else, amigo.

    Rafa’s NEW racquet paintjob

    How so? The writer is a Babolat Ambassador and received this racket before anyone. Nadal will max use this racket by the USO or maybe even before. Nadal is a player with the least mods on his racket from any top player. He doesn't even have a personal stringer like all the other top players. He...

    Nike Vapor X RF for AO 2k18

    Having a few friends that work at NikeCourt, I can confirm that the players were testing these in IW earlier this year and they all said that they would switch to the Vapor X then if they could at that event. Everyone always wants to be a hater and bash Nike or other big companies for new...

    Dear Nike,

    Very simple. There are tons of shorts for players over 6' and for those under 6' then 7" shorts sell very well. Otherwise Nike wouldn't make them. That is coming from Nike and it's top sellers.

    Nike Air Zoom Ultra React Reviews

    Received a pair of the Ultra Reacts and they are definitely wider than the UltraFlys and do not fit true to size. The reason for this is that the material around the back of the shoe around your ankles is very thin compared with the Vapor and Ballistec. This leads to less cushioning on back of...

    Nike Fall 2017

    I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Created as a speed oriented shoe like the Vapor, Ultrafly. Not like the Ballistec, which has a 6-month warranty.

    Nike Fall 2017

    The Ultra React is more low profile and lighter than the UltraFly. It does look similar, but it quite different. Price will be $180 US. $40 cheaper from a suggested price point than the Ultrafly. Will come in a multitude of colours throughout the year.

    Nike Fall 2017

    Dimitrov will likely continue to wear the Vapor 9 ID. He likes the fit and doesn't want to change. They will have the younger players wearing the Ultra React.

    Nike Fall 2017

    The Ultra React will debut at the Aussie Open I believe. Not during Fall 2017.

    When is the last time there was an ATP year end top 5 without Nike?

    Remember this very important point: Nike is a billion dollar company and you can bet your bottom dollar that when Serena, Federer, Sharapova & Nadal (4 of Nike's top 19 assets) retire, about 30-40 million dollars a year will be opened up. I've had the same feelings on Nike throughout the past...

    Nadal has new racquet?

    I believe that Babolat is the best fit for Nadal period. He needs more power in shots and Babolat frames provide that. His issues on the forehand are not because of any racket. They are technical changes that have occurred in the stroke that have made it worse. Coupled with his recent injuries...

    Nike Spring 2017

    It will be the low cut version of the ultra fly.

    Nike Spring 2017

    Thanks brother. Have we discussed the Aero React yet? Should be interesting and provide more mass appeal than the Ultrafly.
