Technical Viper Soft 3.0 is an extremely exciting addition to Babolat’s 2026 range. The racket is aimed at the offensive player who wants plenty of power while also prioritising comfort and a more arm-friendly feel. With this Soft version, the goal of expanding the Technical series is to offer a more forgiving alternative to the uncompromising and firmer Technical Viper 3.0.

Racket construction

Like the rest of the Technical 3.0 series, the Babolat Technical Viper Soft 3.0 is built on a new mould that enlarges the sweetspot and moves it slightly lower in the racket. This provides improved control at ball contact and makes the racket more playable than previous generations of the Technical Viper. At the same time, the bridge features a new central stabiliser that dampens vibrations and contributes to a more comfortable and arm-friendly feel.

The racket’s weight of 365 grams is combined with a diamond-shaped head and a head-heavy balance, placing the Technical Viper Soft 3.0 firmly in the power segment. The key difference lies in the material choice. The surface is built with a softer carbon, and unlike the Technical Viper 3.0, the racket is constructed without the central carbon plate. This results in a more flexible and shock-absorbing touch, without compromising the power the Technical series is known for.

The rough surface ensures a secure grip on the ball, allowing you to work actively with spin and variation in your game. Overall, the Technical Viper Soft 3.0 is an excellent choice for you if you want an offensive racket with high performance, but in a more comfortable and arm-friendly version.

Comparison within the Technical 3.0 series

Within the Technical 3.0 range, the Viper Soft 3.0 is positioned between the Technical Veron 3.0 and the firmer Technical Viper 3.0. Where the Veron model prioritises flexibility and playability, and the Viper 3.0 features a much stiffer construction, the Viper Soft 3.0 offers a balanced solution with plenty of power combined with increased comfort and tolerance.
