New Babolat Wimbledon and Roland Garros frames

[jersey34tennis]

immediate buzzkill alert.new cosmetics. same frames. But the new Wimbledon frames look interesting . an aero pro team, a junior frame, and a pure drive. colors will be black with purple and bright green accents. aeropro model looks the best. for Roland Garros they're finally doing the aero pros over. the standard, another one, and a 260 gram version. the aeropro drive one looks interesting again. the flat paint instead of glossy has red and yellow and black interwoven in a random pattern. i kinda like them better than the stardard paintjob . there ya go. and a new pure drive lite in mostly white with a soft purple/pink color. li na will be endorsing it

I haven't yet found a Bab I enjoyed hitting with (excepting the Pure Control Zylon which was really sweet), but I do think as a company they have done the some of the best cosmetics in the tennis racquet world.

The frames, shoes and bags look really nice. Loving the Pure Drive and the Lite version too...

 

[jersey34tennis]

no links yet . just truth. sorry. i'll see if i can snap some photos with my iphone later today or tomorrow

I'll see when we can leak some photos.

Remember, these are just celebratory cosmetics, not new frames.

And no Pure Control Wimbledon. Well, I guess it isn't popular enough, but I would've preferred. The Pure Drive is good looking; too bad it doesn't seem that it will be available in extended length. The good thing about those event cosmetics is that they go on sale pretty quickly. BTW, the Wimbledon shoe collection is already available at TWE.

The Wimbledon editions look rather understated for Babolat, IMHO. I do like the French Open editions though. Wish they'd offer the AP Team in the FO version.

I like the Wimbledon version. Green is underused in racquet cosmetics - it looks really good (and understated and Wimbledon go hand in hand.)

I like APD Roland Garros the best. Will definitely buy a pair!

Li Na? I though Li endorses the standard pure drive and Aga Radwanska endorses the pure drive lite?

 

[Team10]

Wow, found all the pics. The pure drive wimbledon looks great, makes me wish that I didn't switch from them haha. I still have a pure drive french open that I'll never sell, sold my other 2 standards though.

The aeropro drive looks great too, predominately black with some red and yellow on the hoop.

Kinda want to post pics here but I think I might get banned. They were rather easy to find though.

You're right. White bumper for the PDL; black for the regular PD.

I read that there will be a AeroPro Team Wimbledon but not RG; we'll see what happens. EDIT: There even are Wimby flip-flops!

I knew they would do this. Very smart.

I love, love, love my pure strike tours. Just got a second one. I had this thought that they would replace that bright neon orange with one green and one purple stripe. Just for a few old dudes like me who are in the minority...of not being in love with fluo orange.

Found a pic of the Wimbledon Pure Drive Junior; is the regular the same cosmetic?

Having trouble finding a pic of the APD, which is what I use. Keep working on it, I suppose.

 

[Crozzer95]

The shoes are up on the Babolat website, rackets are not. They look stunning though

The APD looks kind of like a Radical paint job, which I really like. Will definitely be getting one, even though I have two of the normal ones already.
