Babolat Technical Viper 23

Racket Babolat Technical Viper in red from 2023

The French firm presents the power racket par excellence for this 2023 season, the new Babolat Technical Viper 2023. Completely renewed in terms of shape and materials, at first glance we appreciate an attack racket with a high balance due to its teardrop or diamond shape. Internally, both the rubber and the type of fiber chosen are new to the Babolat racket collection.

The tubular is made of 100% carbon. On their faces you can see 12K carbon fiber, which together with an EVA rubber of three different densities provide maximum power during the most aggressive game and a great ball output in defense.

The die-cutting in the holes also varies in diameter depending on the area of the plane, thus managing to expand the sweet spot of hitting. The surface of this Technical Viper Babolat is sandy to the touch with the 3D Spin embossing system. The heart of the racket has been reduced compared to previous models with the intention of increasing the sweet spot when hitting. Inside it includes an elastomer piece that reduces vibrations and prevents epicondylitis injuries.

Features of the new Babolat Technical Viper, a power racket .

All these improvements carried out in the Technical Viper Babolat position it as a high-end racket . In short, it is designed for offensive players, usually left-wing players, who are looking for power and precision at the back of the court. The 12K carbon together with this 3-density rubber will offer us an apparently soft touch in slow shots, but when we demand an aggressive game we will find the hardness we are looking for in a racket of this type.

Our opinion and review of the Babolat Technical Viper 2023.

At Stock Padel we like to test the product on our own so that we can give a realistic explanation beyond all the features and materials explained above. As we noted in the previous Viper Carbon Babolat 2020, we appreciate from the first moment a high balance, that is, it is the classic big-headed racket that hitters like so much. It is true that thanks to its weight of approximately 365 grams this balance does not become uncomfortable in the game nor does it saturate the arm at any time. This seemed to us a very positive aspect, since other rackets with this shape and balance end up being untreatable and difficult to move.

As for the feel, we found it curious that although it is not a soft racket by any means, it is true that at the back of the court, slow balls or wall bounces the touch is more comfortable compared to its predecessor. When it came to uploading to the network, we simply fell in love with it. He has everything a left-wing player needs. This racket Babolat Technical Viper is very quick to handle on the volley, the response is fast with each shot and when it comes to finishing we can't ask for more. From our point of view, we value it as one of the rackets with the most power of this new season.
