Description

The lightest member of the Pure Aero family continues to be a great choice for beginner and intermediate players that are looking for a fast swinging racquet with loads of access to spin. This Pure Aero Lite has a limited edition colour scheme to celebrate the game and style of Rafael Nadal!

For the updated Pure Aero Lite, Babolat smartly keeps the weight, balance, head size and string pattern unchanged from the pervious version. One change they do make is moving the Cortex Pure Feel dampening material to the head of the racquet at 3 and 9 o'clock. This acts to make the racquet slightly softer feeling at contact, while enhancing the racquet's feel as well as providing a little extra control. Back for this latest version of the Pure Aero Lite is FSI Spin technology which means wider spacing between the strings in the sweetspot to provide extra bite into the ball. Oblong grommets at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions create more string snapback to contribute even more to this racquet's spin potential. The Aeromodular design makes for a racquet that swings through the air with ease. Generating power and spin should not be a problem for players of almost any skill level.

A great update to an already great lightweight, spin-friendly racquet will only add to this frame's appeal.

  • Headsize: 100 sq. inches / 645 sq. cm
  • Length: 27 inches / 68.58 cm
  • Weight: 9.5 oz. / 270 g unstrung
  • Balance: 4 pts head light / 330mm unstrung
  • Swingweight: 311 strung
  • Beam width: 23mm / 26mm / 23mm
  • Flex: 68 RA
  • Tension Range: 50-59 lbs / 23-27 kg
  • String Pattern: 16/19
  • Style #: RBARO07
  • Carbon Ply Stabilizer:
    Superior stability for increased precision thanks to a new generation of high-performance carbon fibers developed by Chomarat added in the core of the racquet.
  • Woofer System:
    The first and most effective frame-string link system: a longer ball-string contact time for greater control and a sensation of comfort.
  • Aero Technology:
    Aerodynamic frame shape that allows the racquet to penetrate the air more easily for optimal power and spin.
  • Cortex Pure Feel:
    Better vibration damping thanks to new material powered by SMAC integrated in the graphite at 3 and 9 o'clock that provides an exceptional feel.
  • Aeromodular 3:
    Woofer technology built directly into the mid-section of the new frame strategically shaped to reduce wind drag and boost swing speed, offering an average of 11% less drag. With the introduction of the 2019 Pure Aero Line, Babolat opens the bumper and removes the long side/short side string installation while keeping deeper string channels for protection against premature string breakage.
  • FSI Spin:
    A broader weave in the string bed and an oblong opening between the grommets at the top and the bottom of the head. Wider spaces between cross strings 5-12 for more ball bite and higher RPMs.

Photos used contain images of strings for illustration purposes. Adult tennis racquets are unstrung unless otherwise noted or stringing services have been selected above. Brand logo stencils are not applied by default with stringing services. If you request brand logo stencils, please note that a stencil is painted onto the strings within a brand's stencil and may wear off over time - this is how stencils are applied on tour. Depending on the string you select, the stencil paint application fullness, colour and visibility may vary.
Adult racquets generally do not come with covers. To protect your racquet, we recommend getting a racquet bag.

Product specs such as weight may vary slightly from racquet to racquet to what is advertised due to the manufacturing process.

Adult Racquets Sizing Information
Grip Size Length
L0 (4") 4" (4 inches)
L1 (4 1/8") 4 and 1/8" (4.125 inches)
L2 (4 1/4") 4 and 2/8" (4.25 inches)
L3 (4 3/8") 4 and 3/8" (4.375 inches)
L4 (4 1/2") 4 and 4/8" (4.5 inches)
L5 (4 5/8") 4 and 5/8" (4.625 inches)

To determine your grip size without using a racquet, measure from the tip of your ring finger to the major fold crease in your palm. Write down the distance to the nearest 8th of an inch. This is your standard grip size.

Grip size palm measurements for tennis racquets

If you fall somewhere between the measurements, it is recommended to choose the smaller grip size as you can always build the grip size up using an overgrip (for a slight increase) or a grip build-up sleeve (for a half or full size increase). The grip measurements above factor in the pre-installed factory grip.
