US Open Top Seeds Racquets - Rafael Nadal

World #1, Rafael Nadal, comes into New York for the US Open wielding the Babolat Aeropro Drive Cortex.

This stick has generally the same specs found in the AeroPro Drive - advanced players will enjoy easy topspin and slice and the large sweetspot yields forgiving power for moderate to fast swings.

• Aero Modular Technology: Thinner width at the upper section of the raquet provides increased power, standard width midsection provides stability and a wider base provides more stiffness for increased control and a faster swing.


• Woofer Technology: Provides better comfort and control. The first and most efficient system which makes the frame and strings interact when striking the ball creating 25% longer ball/string contact.


• Cortex System: The Cortex System is a revolutionary active technology between the throat and handle of the racquet. With this new technology, the two parts of the racquet are linked by an interface in CDS (Cortex Dampening System) material. This technology allows the filtering of the different vibratory modes. It eliminates unnecessary vibrations and enhances the feel of the ball.

The Babolat Aeropro Drive Cortexstarts at $177 from Amazon.
