How Rafa’s Racquet Helps Him Win

Rafael Nadal has always been a hero of mine. His lethal forehand, insane movement, but more importantly, his unwavering and fierce mentality. The way he locks himself into a match with ruthless focus and a pure intent to destroy absolutely every ball has always been what I admired most about Rafa. Unfortunately, I am not graced with this mental intensity, so I the best I can do to pretend I’m Rafa is put on his shirt and use his racquet.

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank the following channels for inspiring me to create tennis content and helping me learn more about the game I love:

Tennisnerd:

You’ve always replied to the comments I left on your videos, and you comment to creating regular content inspires me every day. You are a pillar of the tennis community and I hope you never stop growing.

Check out Jonas’ video on Rafa’s stick, and my source for his specs.

Racquet Tech:

You taught me more about racquets than anyone else has. When I first started working at Courtside Sports, I when deep into thee rabbit hole of customization and you gave me all the answers I could ever hope for. I love your shamelessly hot takes and undying willingness to argue about tennis on forums.

Check out Racquet Tech’s (maybe be known as Racquet Theory in the future) awesome video on Djoker’s racquet:
