Pat Rafter using aerogel 500?

[soggyramen]

looking at the dunlop website i noticed that they had a pic of pat rafter with the aerogel 500. is he planing a comeback or is he currently just playing with this on the senior tour. sorry if this has been addressed but idk if he's on the senior tour or not.

There is an aerogel 500 and also a 500tour. Both with the same lime green colorscheme. They show a few pros hitting with it, but I've tried a demo and it doesn't seem like a players' frame to me.

Could be a paintjob? Just my opinion.

probably is a paintjob considering he used the TT warrior paint job which felt similar to the 500 tour.

PR had arm problems causing him to retire at an early age. He would never return to the game sporting a frame with a stiffness rating of 70...

I suppose it could be a Prince, but I did see a photo and it did not have that rounder Prince shape. It did look like a Dunlop.

Cashy and Pernfors both use a 300 aerogel. I'm totally guesing here, but I'm guessing Rafter's is a painted 300 or probably 200, depending on the pattern.

Rafter has a deal with Dunlop in Australia. When last he played WTT in the US he was sporting a Dunlop as well.

Yes, that was a 300 was it? OR was it that blue one I have never seen?

I find the 500 to be the best Aerogel line racket.

i looked at his profile on the dunlop website and i'm really trying to believe that it's a paintjob but he has it held up perfectly to see the beam and it looks way to fat to be the 300 or the 200

but it could possibly be the 300

well i have seen pics of rafter using a dunlop pj on his old prince before but this one must be a dunlop because his old prince racquets before had the double bridge
