Updated with a new cosmetic, the Boost Rafa is defined by its explosive speed and user-friendly playability. At under 10 ounces strung, this racquet is not only perfect for dedicated beginners and early intermediates, but it should also tempt the more skilled player who wants a high-performance racquet at an outstanding price. With its quick handling, open string pattern and powerful beam construction, the Boost Rafa makes it easy to load the ball with pace and spin. In addition to its familiar tapered beam, this racquet includes Babolat's time-tested Woofer grommet system, a technology that not only helps lighten the load on your tendons but also delivers a more responsive string bed. The fact that this racquet is inspired by tennis legend Rafael Nadal is a nice bonus.
