Innovative technologies

A mold for each Viper

This is the novelty, a shape for each racket , with a specific sweet-spot height for each model. From left to right, the technical Viper, the Air Viper, and the Counter Viper.

The new X EVA foam

To put it simply, we find a rigid foam on the outside, and soft foam on the inside . This brings increased explosiveness on powerful shots thanks to the 2 stiffer outer layers while the softer inner layer offers more forgiveness and comfort on slower shots.

3K, 12K, and 16K carbon

Each Viper will be entitled, in addition to a particular shape, to a different type of carbon on the faces. So the air Viper will have carbon 16K , the Technical Viper of carbon 12K , And the counter Viper of carbon 3K . Remember that 16K is more rigid than 12K, itself more rigid than 3K.

3D Spin+

Reliefs on the racquet surface, combined with a rough finish, provide even more spin on the ball and have better control.

HP extension

La distribution and size of holes optimized for each shape racket to improve power transmission and stroke accuracy when hitting.

Vibrasorb System

Better absorption of vibrations thanks to a new elastomer material integrated in the graphite of the heart of the racket which offers more comfort with each stroke and reduces the risk of injury.

Babolat air Viper

With its special shape and light weight (355g), this Air Viper will offer you “Maneuverable power” , which will be very suitable for the air attacker, who wants to fly on the runway!

Babolat Technical Viper

The Technical Viper offers maximum power and precision, “Millimeter power” , which will be perfect for the technical striker, who leads the game with his perfect technique! Weight: 365g.

Babolat counter Viper

A little more rounded in shape, the Counter Viper, which offers “Controllable power” , will be perfect for the attacking blocker, who wants to build the point from the back of the track, and who needs maximum tolerance in defense. Weight: 365g.
