If you are a fan of padel rackets, this has certainly not escaped you: Babolat recently unveiled its new Vipers for 2024.
The Viper range is intended for advanced players, who are looking for explosive power, in particular thanks to the combination of dual-density X Eva foam and carbon faces.
In order to satisfy players with different playing styles, the French brand is once again offering three models with different shapes and characteristics this year.
Technical Viper

Have you seen this pala at Padel Horizon during the Nationale 1 Interclubs since it notably equips a certain Miguel Semmler. With its specific diamond shape, its 365 grams, its head balance and its 12k carbon faces, it promises power and precision to the most technical players.
Air Viper 2024

As its name suggests, the Air Viper still focuses on power, but more on maneuverability. Thanks to its hybrid shape, its featherweight (355 grams) and its 16k carbon on the faces, it promises unrivaled arm speed!
Counter Viper 2024

Finally, we finish with the Counter Viper, pala chosen by the Argentinian player Virginia Riera. Thanks to its slightly rounder shape and its 3k carbon on the faces, it guarantees more tolerance. But be careful, this does not mean that power has been forgotten. Indeed, with balance in mind and 365 grams on the scale, the Counter Viper also promises sharp attacks!
And of course, for the more daring, there is always the palace of the powerful Juan LeBron !
