No one is mad at the realization that they don't really use nadal's racquet. Essentially this is fake marketing or whatever you call it. Now that is okay that his frame is customized to have no liquidmetal ridges, but it is not okay that Head SPECIFICALLY states that Djokovic uses the CURRENT model of the SPEED PRO, both of which are completely false. Another example is that Djokovic uses a liquidmetal radical without the liquidmetal ridges. Of the top babolat pros I think all except Bouchard use iterations of their racquets dating back to original pure drives up to cortex models.

We aren't talking about a little bit of lead added here or extra quality control in pro frames, we're talking about COMPLETELY different racquets. Second of all, pros use COMPLETELY different racquets than the ones they endorse. We aren't really milking Babolat of any money here. First of all, like OP stated Babolat has to fork out a certain amount of money even if only one person filed a claim. So everyone should just quit getting their panties in a bunch lol But, they happen to make awesome racquets. If Babalot made piece of shit racquets, he surely wouldn't want to be associated with that. Nadal could be sponsored by anyone, surely. To me, an endorsement from an athlete means they generally endorse the company's products and stand by the quality/models being produced. Why? Because its a good fucking racquet and I don't care of Jesus Christ himself used it or not. I won't be attempting to leech $50 from Babalot for it. I bought a Babalot AeroPro Team about a month ago. I would imagine there are things about their racquets that perhaps would make them much more costly to mass produce. Of course they're not going to end up playing with the same racquet. Many of the pro's specifications are probably pretty particular, and constantly tweaked depending on the surface, how they've been playing lately, things they feel need adjusting in their game, etc.

If the crux of this lawsuit is that professional players aren't playing with the exact racquet they endorse, then honestly.fuck the people that went through the trouble to file this suit. Pretty much a good 95+% of pros especially towards the top use older unavailable frames that they were accustomed to when they first started on the tour or played with in their childhood under paintjobs of current iteration of frames. This has been proven to be true but they're still 'deceiving' customers with all their other racquets that their pros 'supposedly' use. Wilson tried to take some pressure off this topic by stating explicitly that the rf97 is the exact same one fed uses. Nadal still uses a leaded up version of the original aeropro, Tsonga uses a leaded up version of the aeropro cortex plus, Novak uses a heavily leaded liquidmetal radical mp without any liquidmetal ridges, murray and many other head pros use paintjobs of prestige classic 600s, pro tour 630s, pt57a, and many other older/pro stock only frames. Anyways, racquet companies have been notorious for this. People there are 100 times more knowledgeable on topics like this and pretty much anything tennis related. I suggest people here visit the talk tennis forums more. This subreddit discusses all levels of tennis, from tour professionals to recreational players.
