BABOLAT VIPER SOFT JUAN LEBRÓN 3.0 specifications

Who is the BABOLAT VIPER SOFT JUAN LEBRÓN 3.0 for?

It suits you if you play on the left, often go for the x3 smash and the víbora and already handle a racket with the weight up top, but want a ball exit that is kinder on the arm. If you are just starting or defend a lot from the back, a round or medium-balance teardrop racket gives you more margin.

Strengths and things to consider

Strengths

• Comfortable punch: Soft Carbon and the medium-density rubber soften the impact without killing ball speed.
• Stability: the Dynamic Stability System reinforces the heart of the racket and limits twisting on powerful shots.
• Spin: the 3D Spin raised texture grips the ball on bandejas, víboras and x3 smashes.

Things to consider

• Demands technique: with a head-heavy diamond shape the sweet spot sits high and off-centre hits are punished.
• Less manoeuvrable in defence: on fast volleys and low balls it is slower than a medium-balance racket.

Viper Soft Juan Lebrón 3.0 compared with Viper Juan Lebrón 3.0 and Technical Veron 3.0

The Viper Juan Lebrón 3.0 shares the diamond shape, head-heavy balance and 38 mm profile, but uses 3K carbon, a Hard EVA core and weighs 370 g ± 10 g. It is stiffer and more explosive overhead. Choose the Viper if you already compete and want maximum punch; the Viper Soft if you want the same attack with a more comfortable feel.

The Technical Veron 3.0 is also diamond-shaped and head-heavy with a Black EVA core, but uses Carbon Flex faces and weighs 360 g ± 10 g. It is slightly lighter and easier to swing. Pick it if you are stepping up to an attacking racket; the Viper Soft if you already master the diamond and want more weight behind the ball.
