Introducing the 2024 version of the Babolat Air Viper racket!

The Air Viper 2024 comes from the top shelf of the Babolat range and is tailor-made for the dynamic padel player who contributes both defensively and offensively. The keywords for this all-round padel racket are speed, explosive power and comfort.

No expense has been spared on the material side. On the contrary, Babolat has implemented several great details including a replaceable strap and an anti-vibration system that reduces vibrations through the racket. The surface of the racket is woven from carbon fiber and has a rough texture to give you the best possible contact with the ball. Compared to the 2023 model, Babolat has improved the graphite of the racket to make it even more durable and stable in construction.

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

Weight: 355 grams

Technologies Applied in the Babolat Air Viper 2024

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.

3 tips to extend the lifespan of your padel racket

1. Use a frame protector

Fit a frame protector to your racket to minimise damage from contact with the court glass or metal mesh. It is a simple addition that may not look like much, but it can help extend the life of your racket by protecting it from knocks and scratches.

2. Avoid extreme temperatures

Store your racket at a stable room temperature. Over time, both very high and very low temperatures can weaken the foam in the racket core and reduce performance. Avoid leaving your racket in places such as a cold car boot or close to a hot radiator.

3. Protect your racket during transport

Keep your racket in a bag or cover to protect it from scratches, dirt and knocks. This is especially important during transport or storage between matches, as proper storage helps reduce wear and tear.

3 tips to get the most out of your padel racket

1. Choose the right racket for your level and playing style

Choose a racket that matches your level and playing style. New players may benefit from a racket with a softer face and a large sweetspot, while more experienced players often prefer a stiffer construction with more emphasis on precision or power.

2. Replace your overgrip regularly

Replacing your overgrip regularly helps maintain a fresh grip and improves comfort and control. A worn grip can cause the racket to slip in your hand and put extra strain on your wrist and forearm during play.

3. Upgrade your racket when the time is right

Over time, the foam in the racket core loses its elasticity and performance. This means you will no longer get the same response from your shots. If you have been using the same racket for several seasons or notice a drop in its performance, it is a sign that it is time to invest in a new one.
