Babolat AeroPro Drive Cortex Racquets Price: 185.00 Rafael Nadal, arguably the most exciting player on the pro tour, uses the AeroPro Drive with Cortex. This updated version of the AeroPro Drive is built to the exact same specifications as the original, but features Babolat's Cortex System for improved feel and comfort. We found the same pop and spin friendly nature from this version, but with a more solid feel at contact. Our TW playtesters enjoyed the improved feel from all areas of the court. The AeroPro Drive Cortex combines the benefits of an Aero designed shaft and the Pure Drive head, the result is some serious pop and spin potential in a maneuverable package. Power baseline players will love the spin, pace and accuracy they'll find hitting with this one. At net the racquet offers good maneuverability, yet remains stable. There's plenty of power to punch volleys deep and some improved feel for touch play. The power and spin potential of this racquet makes for fun serving - where spin and pace can be found in equally pleasing quantities. The healthy sweetspot and power of the AeroPro Drive Cortex makes it a solid choice for a variety of player levels. A must demo for players seeking to boost an already aggressive game with some added spin and power. Racquet of choice for 2008 French Open Champion, Rafael Nadal.
