Babolat Technical Viper Soft 3.0 - 2026
Babolat Technical Viper Soft 3.0 is a high-performance padel racket designed for offensive players who want to combine explosive power with increased comfort and playability. It is a more forgiving alternative to the classic Technical Viper, making it ideal for players who want to play aggressively without compromising on feel and control.
The racket features a diamond-shaped head and a head-heavy balance, providing extra punch in smashes and attacking shots. The softer construction improves ball output even on off-center hits and makes the racket more arm- and elbow-friendly during long matches.
The carbon fiber face delivers stability and responsiveness, while the soft Black EVA core absorbs vibrations and creates a comfortable feel at impact. The textured surface enhances grip on the ball, making it easier to generate spin on offensive shots such as viboras, kick smashes, and aggressive volleys.
