The 2024 version of Babolat's coveted Technical Viper racket! The Technical Viper is designed to give the advanced player unrivaled power and precision on offensive shots.

Due to its immense popularity, Babolat has carried over a number of the series' technologies and characteristics to the 2024 version. The carbon material has been made even more durable and the design has been given a boost, but otherwise the cornerstones of the racket's characteristics have been retained.

The idea behind Babolat's range is to offer different rackets for different types of players. With the Technical Viper model, the offensive player is ensured great weight transfer in his overheads via the diamond-shaped head and head-heavy balance. In addition, both the bat's core and surface in 12K carbon are relatively stiff and hard, rewarding you with great precision when hitting the ball in the sweetspot.

When it comes to materials and technologies, Babolat has, as always, gone the extra mile. Thus, they have implemented several nice details such as an interchangeable wrist strap and their Vibrasorb System, which dampens vibrations through the racket. In addition, you get a patterned, rough surface produced in carbon to offer you extra power in the ball strike.

Compared to Babolat's Vertuo and Veron collections, the Viper racquets 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 you to hit consistently.

Technologies Applied in the Babolat Technical 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.
