Today I'm with cool content. Two alike racquets. But actually not. Let's make a comparison between Rafa Nadal personal racquet, that was used by him during final at Roland-Garros 2014 and retail version of this AeroPro Drive paintjob.
Let's start with visual differences.
First: Cortex System. Nadal's personal racquet doesn't have it, cause Rafa used AeroPro Drive Original mold all the way, that didn't have Cortex. So we have Cortex paintjob.
Second: Differences in some details of a paintjob. On retail racquet you can see "Roland Garros" at 6 position, and Rafa's stick has "Babolat" on it. Simple marketing: Nadal and Roland Garros is a winning combination and great one for the fans. But Rafa himself used this paintjob not only at French Open, so it would be weird to have "Roland Garros" oh his racquets at Wimbledon, for example))
And for sure differences on namings on the side of the racquet. Retail racquet has the name of a model on it, Nadal's has simple - Rafa.
Third. Throat part of racquets. Retail with standard specs of the racquet, Rafa's stick is blank, just Nadal's personal Babolat sticker.
But the main differences for sure are in racquets specs.
Nadal' personal is 338 grams and 360 in Swingweight (without dampener),
Retail - 323 and 317.
Your welcome!)
