If you’ve been thinking what tennis racquets famous people are using the answer is we don’t know anymore. Why? Because I’ve just heard Armani managed to convince Babolat, a leading manufacturer of tennis products, to build the Emporio Armani (EA7) tennis racquet. It’s the first time Babolat enters the world of sport fashion, but it’s going to pay off I’m sure.

Using the experience Babolat has with tennis racquets high quality lightweight materials and an aerodynamic structure the EA7 is not only a high performance tennis racquet but also a very beautiful one. It provides power with each stroke, a better penetration through the air, maneuverability and is good for both experienced or uninitiated players.

Here are a few specs of the new Babolat EA7:

• Distribution: Exclusively at Emporio Armani shops
• Weight: 9.7 oz (unstrung)
• Headsize: 100 sq in
• Composition: High Modulus Graphite
• Great mix of white, silver and black

I expect everyone to buy it if they want to be “somebody” on the tennis field. Too bad we don’t have a price yet.
