The French padel company has decided to include three completely new models to expand the possibilities for the attacking player. Here are the key features of the new Vipers, as well as the features that set them apart from the 2020 Babolat Viper.

Babolat Technical Viper

The new Babolat Technical Viper is a power racket that focuses on one aspect: the technical game.

The Technical Viper is the ideal combination of power and precision to place the ball where the eye is placed.

Of the three new Viper padel rackets,this is the most similar to the 2020 Babolat Viper Carbon, as it has a 100% carbon construction and retains the same classic diamond format. In the same way, it has the same well-known technologies such as the 3D Spin rough planes and the Holes Pattern System. The only difference is that this padel racket has a new core, made up of an X-Eva rubber as a sandwich, with three different densities for a well-balanced hit between power and control.

Babolat Air Viper

The new Babolat Air Viper is a unique and very specific racket, it was created for the aerial game. The most appropriate player profile is the attacking professional who seeks maximum power in forceful blows such as spikes. It is ideal for dynamic players who constantly climb the net to finish a point.

This racket also has a 100% carbon construction, both for the frame and for the planes. Likewise, it features the new 3-density core and rough-plane 3D Spin technology to enhance spin.

As its name indicates, it has been created for counterattack, this means that it allows you to control and defeat the rival attack, and then respond with great power and forcefulness.
