Babolat Air Viper 2023 Padel Racket

The latest version of the ultra-popular Air Viper racket has landed! Babolat Air Viper 2023!

This racket from the top of the Babolat range is built for the dynamic padel player who seeks to conquer the net and the initiative with his speed. To accommodate this style of play, the Air Viper 2023 is an extremely maneuverable racket at just 355 grams. In addition, it is produced with a head-light balance and a teardrop-shaped head, which Babolat itself calls "hybrid", which allows you to create plenty of power without the racket being head heavy.

On the materials side, no expense has been spared. On the contrary, Babolat has implemented several nice touches including a replaceable wrist strap and an anti-vibration system that reduces vibration down through the racket. The racket's surface is woven from carbon fibres and has a rough texture to give you the best possible contact with the ball.

Compared to Babolat's Vertuo and Veron collections, the Viper rackets are the only ones with a pure carbon surface and with 3 different layers of EVA foam in the core. This makes the Viper range the most powerful and accurate in the range, but it also places higher demands on you to consistently hit the ball well if you want to get the most out of it.

Weight: 355 grams

All in all, a top-class lightweight padel racket for the experienced player who wants the best materials and technologies in Babolat's unique design. 

Technologies Applied in the Babolat Air Viper 2023

Holes Pattern System

Optimized placement and size of the holes based on the specific racket head shape to increase the power transmission and accuracy of the stroke.

X EVA

The core is designed as a sandwich construction of 3 different layers of EVA foam. The two outer layers are stiffer for extra power, while the inner layer is softer to provide more tolerance and comfort in those shots where you take the speed off the ball.

Woven Carbon

The surface is woven from carbon fibres to give you maximum power and precision.

3D Spin

The small textures in the surface combined with a rough finish provide even better control and grip of the ball.

Vibrasorb System

This technology covers a new elastomer material in graphite, which is integrated into the heart of the racket. The technology reduces the vibrations of the stroke and thus the risk of injury.

Smart Buttcap

New concept that allows you to adjust the size of the wrist strap or remove it completely.
