Description

String you opponents on court. Babolat's Air Viper paddle is designed to offer you extreme maneuverability and exceptional reactivity, essential qualities for a true dynamic player. With this paddle, you can take advantage of every opportunity to approach the net, using your speed to generate explosive power that will surprise your opponents. In this improved version, the Air Viper not only amplifies the feeling of power but also incorporates greater tolerance thanks to its new shape, which provides a wider impact surface. This allows for firmer and more precise shots while maintaining its lightness, a feature that makes it one of the most dynamic paddles on the market. Additionally, we have added an extra rough finish that will help you impart spectacular spins to the ball, giving you even more tools to dominate every point. Its improved stability ensures great performance even in the most intense moments of the game. With the Air Viper, you will be unstoppable in the air and at the net!

Maneuverability

The Air Viper stands out for its lightweight and aerodynamic design, allowing for fast, precise, and effortless movements. This perfect balance allows players to change direction, attack from any angle, and position themselves efficiently on the court. Its hybrid shape and optimized construction provide total control, making it easier to transition smoothly between defense and attack modes. Feel the freedom to hit quickly and dominate the game!

High Responsiveness

The Babolat Air Viper is defined by its ability to maximize the speed and power of your shots with an immediate and efficient response. With its 16K Carbon construction and X-EVA technology, the racquet turns the force of your swing into explosive impacts, ideal for dynamic players who want to transform their speed into powerful and precise shots. The Air Viper responds smoothly in fast attack situations, helping you to keep pressure on your opponent at the net and in offensive volleys. Dominate the game with your speed, unleash your power, and turn every shot into a decisive move with the Air Viper!

Comfort

Padel, above all, is a sport designed to be enjoyed without worries. However, Babolat are aware that some racquets are so stiff that they can cause discomfort in the arm, affecting the playing experience. To address this need, our R&D team has developed an innovative solution: VIBRABSORB SYSTEM² Technology, Powered by SMAC. This advanced technology optimizes vibration absorption thanks to a specific combination of elastomers strategically integrated into the carbon fibers, in the core and the handle of the racquet. This design significantly reduces the vibrations generated with each shot, for greater comfort and helps to minimize the risk of injury, so you can enjoy the game with complete confidence and comfort.
