Babolat Padel Rackets

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between Babolat Viper and Veron rackets?

  The main difference between the two is in the materials used for the racket face. The Viper series is the most advanced Babolat padel racket, using high-density carbon for a stiffer feel and maximum power, suited to advanced players with high swing speeds. 

  The Veron series, however, uses Carbon Flex, which is a weave of carbon and fibreglass. This makes the surface more elastic, providing dynamic power, which is more accessible for intermediate to advanced players who don’t want the extreme stiffness of a full carbon racket. 

• Why is the Babolat Air profile unique?

  Unlike most brands that categorise rackets only by power or control, Babolat’s Air models (Air Vertuo and Air Veron) are engineered to be extremely lightweight and aerodynamic. By reducing the weight and thinning the profile, Babolat has created a racket that allows for incredibly fast manoeuvrability at the net, making it ideal for players who rely on speed and quick reactions rather than pure power.

• How does Babolat’s vibration technology protect against injury?

  Babolat uses the Vibrabsorb System, which is designed to dampen the vibrations caused by the ball impact and reduce the strain on the wrist and elbow. This makes Babolat’s stiffer carbon rackets much more comfortable to use over long matches compared to older-generation power rackets
