While Santa Claus has just finished his tour for this year 2021, it is possible that some of his rackets have found their place under the tree to the delight of the “padeleros”.
The famous Lyon brand, well-known in the world of tennis, has made a name for itself on the padel courts. With its Viper range, Babolat has always succeeded in winning the hearts of practitioners.
As a reminder, this range is dedicated to players who want to develop their full potential in attack, like the muses of the brand that are the world number 1. Juan lebron and the triple champion of France Bastien Blanque.
The Viper range is born from the study and observation of the needs of padel players on the court . Significant work has been done on the materials used, on the shape, on the distribution of the holes as well as on the comfort, with the result of explosive, precise, manoeuvrable and tolerant racquets.
This range consists of three different rackets that adapt to the specific needs of each type of player: the technical attacker , the air attacker et the counterattacker.
The Technical Viper
As the name suggests this racket is dedicated to players saying ““technical” detectors.“, That is to say at ease from any part of the field.
The Technical Viper will allow you to achieve powerful and precise shots. At net she will not give any gift to your rivals and will ensure you have total control in each of your attacks.
Its roughness will allow you to put a frenzied effect on the ball while maintaining a certain playing comfort and precision that will allow you to hit the mark at any time.

Weight: 365g +/- 10
RRP: 280 Euro
The Air Viper
Be careful, this pala is a real fighter plane!
The Air Viper is ideal for the attacking player who is constantly looking to win the net.
It is the perfect weapon for this offensive and fast padel player who goes from defense to attack in no time and who does not hesitate for a moment to take flight to hit the ball with his most beautiful smashes.
Very light, it combines power and maneuverability while keeping this touch of precision to finalize puntacos
For the record the Babolat Air Viper received the award for the best padel racket of 2021 during PadelSpain World Padel Awards!

Weight: 355g +/- 10
PVC: 280 Euros
The Counter Viper
If the first two pala don't suit your playing style, and you are more of a patient player, who works the point, returns all the balls. If you're good at defending and when the time comes you will leap to the net to finish off your rival, the Counter Viper is definitely for you.
This racquet will seduce you with its round shape which gives it a lower point of balance and therefore more precision and tolerance in each stroke.
It perfectly combines playing comfort and power, which makes it an extraordinary pala for any type of player who likes to build the game and benefit from bite in the finish. She was notably chosen by one of the most powerful players in the APT Padel Tower : Yain Melgratti !

RRP: 280 Euro
