Here is an Instagram post that intrigues the padel planet. It comes to us from the brand Babolat, which may not have released all of its 2023 cartridges when it comes to racquets.
In a video animation, the French brand shows a kind of DNA molecule in red, blue and yellow colors, whose branches go up along a racket, while the sounds of ball strikes resonate. The images of two players – men hitting smashes – appear, without being able to clearly identify them (photo below). And the animation ends with the words “Coming soon…”
Does this announce a new top-of-the-range model, even though the Technical Viper by Juan LeBron has already been presented? It is true that the Counter Viper and Air Viper are still waiting. Unless it's a new model? Or a new top player who joins the Lyon team?
The bets are open.
After 40 years of tennis, Jérôme fell into the padel pot in 2018. Since then, he thinks about it every morning while shaving… but never shaves with a pala in hand! A journalist in Alsace, his only ambition is to share his passion with you, whether you speak French, Italian, Spanish or English.
