Rollga is a high-quality foam roller that brings regeneration to damaged tissue by influencing the circulation of oxygen-rich blood flow. Rollga prevents fascia from becoming unhealthy, and by restoring your fascia, you restore your mobility.

● Cross-Directionally Targets Trigger Points
● Naturally Restores Fascia Lubrication
● Restores Movement
● Stimulates Oxygen-Rich Blood Flow for Healing

Nadal’s very first signature racquet, and its matching bag are now on sale. Great news for fans!
The Pure Aero Rafa racquet was developed in collaboration with the player by Babolat, which has been supplying him with equipment since the start of his tennis career. Its exclusive new graphic design matches the player’s personality and distinctive gameplay. Rafael Nadal chose a combination of warm, explosive colors with dominant tones of yellow, purple and orange. The name of the player, RAFA, in capitals, and the model, Pure Aero, stand out in purple letters on the throat.

”I like powerful, bright colors, and I like this racquet, it’s definitely me. We worked with Babolat to make it happen. And I’m really pleased with it. It’s important to feel good on court. I really hope players enjoy it,” said Rafael Nadal of his new racquet.

And since there’s only one Rafa, he’s also the only professional player on the circuit to use the racquet, giving fans a unique opportunity to feel even closer to their favorite champion.
The specs of the Pure Aero Rafa are the same as the regular Pure Aero. Invented in 2005 by Babolat to support Nadal and players from his professional team in their quest to achieve the ultimate performance, the Aero is the leading powerful racquet specially adapted for extreme lift, which in addition to the world’s first aerodynamic frame, supports offensive gameplay and pushes opponents behind the baseline.
