Babolat Aeropro Drive Cortex GT Tennis Racket
Looking to rip the ball like Rafa? This is the racket he uses and nobody hits the tennis ball it harder or produces more spin on their ground strokes!
The ‘Daddy’ of the Aero family with a user friendly weight and slightly head light feel so that generating power and spin is easier.
Latest Racket Technology and Construction, Graphite Tungsten
Rafa Nadal's new tennis racket the Aeropro Drive now uses GT Technology. Graphite/Tungsten fibres are spread throughout the frame producing more stability and better precision.
The Cortex System technology, situated between the handle and the string bed, filters unnecessary vibrations resulting in better feel of the ball.
Cortex Technology
The cortex provides a relief to players from the vibrations caused when the ball impacts the strings. It filters out such unnecessary and useless vibrations to ensure optimum playing conditions.
Woofer Technology
Woofer is simply a more effectively shaped grommet. Instead of the grommet being flat and flush to the frame, it is actually arched and curved. This makes the frame and the strings interact more when the ball impacts the racquet as the strings have a great ability to move as they’re not pulled tight against the racquet. This leads to an improved ‘trampoline effect’ of the strings, providing 25% more contact time between the ball and the strings on impact.
GT Technology
GT stands for Graphite Tungsten. When a racquet is made imagine sheets of material laid on top of each other and then folded into a mold. Babolat have discovered that by layering a sheet of Graphite and then a sheet of tungsten and so on and so forth it increases the rigidity of the frame. This make up offers twice the stability of standard carbon. The concentration of tungsten fibers is different according to the racquet family.
Aero Modular Design
A more aero-dynamic shaped frame has definitely moved with the new modern game. Offering a greater speed through the air to help the user generate more power and spin.
