The Pure Aero Rafa Origin is the closest replica of Rafael Nadal's custom racquet. It weighs 317 g unstrung and 337 g strung, with 1 point handle-light strung balance and a very high swingweight of 371, plus 70 RA stiffness. It keeps the 100 in² head, 16x19 pattern and 23/26/23 mm beam, but has no dampening material, so the response is raw and firm. It is stable and heavy against hard-hit balls, but very demanding to swing.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs55%60
Approval from players30%65
Versatility15%72

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
