Is nadal switching rackets? I have heard he has tried a black and red frame. The pure strike?

I think he's using the APD Play right now. I saw once during a racquet change during a changeover him pressing a button on the buttcap. Can anyone confirm? I might be wrong
 
I actually saw the blue led link in a changeover. He was already using play. So it's very interesting that he tries a black APD.

I think Babolat is using the same marketing strategy as Wilson did with Federer and the RF97. This strategy created a huge buzz in tennis market...

Nadal will use the APD for the rest of his career.

The only thing he'll be changing are cosmetics and possible weightings.

And yes, his frame does have "Play". The play feature really doesn't mess up feel at all on the retail sticks.
Whether or not that's just a gimmick light or actual an actual play device, we'll never know 100% for sure.

Looks like the same cosmetic as the Play prototypes that were shown a while back before being released. Black and orange stripes. Most likely trying prototypes to see what new layup he likes, or not.

There was discussion of an Aero Pro Drive Tour, in the Racquets section. Maybe this is a prototype of that?!?
