The Babolat Juan Lebrón collection
Juan Lebrón, known as El Lobo, is a Spanish padel player who reached the top of the world rankings in 2019. His precise smashes, quick movement and ability to finish rallies from difficult positions have made him one of the sport's most distinctive players. This attacking style is reflected in his collaboration with Babolat, whose collection includes padel rackets, shoes, bags and clothing in his signature designs.
Throughout his career, Lebrón has played alongside players including Paquito Navarro, Ale Galán, Martín Di Nenno and Franco Stupaczuk. His partnership with Galán in particular became an important part of his time at the top of padel. At the same time, his changes of partner show that there is more to his game than powerful smashes: he also needs to create space, choose the right moment and adapt to the player by his side.
However, you do not need to choose the collection's most demanding racket to play with a Juan Lebrón design. The Viper, Viper Soft and Veron offer different responses, allowing you to choose according to your technique and the feel you prefer on contact with the ball.
Viper, Viper Soft or Veron: Which padel racket should you choose?
Viper Juan Lebrón is the firmest and most direct option. Its diamond shape, firm core and 3K carbon face provide a direct response. This padel racket is designed for players who strike the ball cleanly and generate their own speed when applying pressure with attacking shots. You can also explore other Babolat Viper padel rackets.
Viper Soft Juan Lebrón retains the diamond shape and attacking profile but provides a more forgiving feel on contact with the ball. Its Soft Carbon face makes it a relevant choice if you want the power of the Viper series with greater comfort on impact.
Veron Juan Lebrón features a Carbonflex face that combines carbon fibre and fibreglass. Its more flexible response makes the racket easier to play with if you want a diamond shape and attacking potential but prefer a more forgiving feel than the Viper provides.

FAQ about the Babolat Juan Lebrón collection
Which padel racket is Juan Lebrón's signature model?
The Viper Juan Lebrón is the model Babolat associates most closely with his attacking style of play. However, a professional player's own racket may be customised and differ from the version available to purchase.
What is the difference between the Viper and Viper Soft Juan Lebrón?
Both have a diamond shape and an attacking profile. The Viper provides a firmer and more direct response, while the Viper Soft has a more forgiving feel. Choose according to how firm and direct you want the racket to feel.
Is the Veron Juan Lebrón easier to play with than the Viper?
The Veron's more flexible Carbonflex face typically provides a more forgiving feel than the firm Viper. The Veron still has a diamond shape and an attacking profile, so the head shape must also suit your game. You can compare the models with all our Babolat padel rackets.
Does the Juan Lebrón collection include products other than padel rackets?
Yes. You will also find Juan Lebrón padel shoes, padel bags and clothing. The selection changes regularly as new models and colours are released.
