The French brand Babolat has been all the rage for some time with the Viper carbon, pala by Juan Lebron. This talented young player allowed to sit Babolat in the category of high level palas, high performance, and resistant. But we would also like to introduce you to other equally powerful palas.
Left-wing players, and especially the heavy hitters, are people the public likes to follow during tournaments because they easily create a spectacle. The material they use is highlighted. One of the palas Babolat the best-selling is the Viper, the pala of Juan Lebron, Fernando Poggi or Bastien Blanqué to name a few.
In this article we would like to show you 3 different palas from home Babolat… Not that different.
Viper Carbon
Made 100% carbon, the Viper is a very aggressive pala for players who like to master the game with great strikes. In the shape of a diamond, its weight is brought to the top of the racket for more speed at the moment of impact. Its surface is rough for more effect. Finally, his heart, the foam, is the Eva Black, a hard foam that brings more control for the preparation of points. Without this hard foam, the Viper would be an uncontrollable shotgun.
Revenge Carbon
The Revenge Carbon is the perfect formula for very versatile players, able to play right and left, loving the attack but also spend time at the bottom of the field to defend, look for areas. This pala has the same characteristics as the Viper with the difference that its weight is not on the top of the racket but centered, for a perfect balance. This pala in the form of a drop of water is the perfect compromise between aggressiveness and control.
Carbon Defiance
A round pala for maximum control. She also takes the same characteristics as her two sisters, the Viper and the Revenge. Hard foam, rough surface ... but with a weight brought close to the handle so that each shot is as accurate as possible. This pala is the top for players who like to find hard to play areas for opponents and who like to prepare the point for their partner, who plays with the Viper.
Finally, when we compare these 3 palas, you realize that few things differentiate them except the place where their weight is brought back; summit, center or sleeve. There is a pala for each type of player, so do not get into a purchase just to have the same pala as your friend or favorite player.
