Babolat Viper Soft Juan Lebron 3.1 Padel Racket

Babolat Viper Soft Juan Lebrón 3.1 Padel Racket

The Babolat Viper Soft Juan Lebrón 3.1 Padel Racket is designed for advanced and competitive players who favour an attacking style but want a more comfortable feel at impact. Combining a diamond-shaped head, Soft Carbon construction and a medium-hardness Black EVA core, it provides the responsiveness needed for aggressive play without the exceptionally firm sensation of a traditional power racket.

Inspired by the racket used by former world number one Juan Lebrón, the Viper Soft 3.1 also features Babolat's Dynamic Stability System to improve frame stability during fast, attacking shots.

Soft Carbon for Comfort and Responsiveness

The defining feature of the Viper Soft Juan Lebrón 3.1 is its Soft Carbon construction, designed to provide a more comfortable hitting sensation while maintaining a responsive feel.

Compared with the firmer 3K Carbon used in the standard Viper Juan Lebrón 3.1, Soft Carbon offers a less rigid response at impact.

Medium-Hardness Black EVA Core

The racket features a medium-hardness Black EVA core, balancing energy transfer with a more forgiving impact sensation.

Working alongside the Soft Carbon surface, the core provides a controlled response when striking the ball, allowing experienced players to vary their pace between aggressive shots and more measured placement.

Dynamic Stability System

Babolat's Dynamic Stability System is positioned in the heart of the racket, where it reinforces the frame to improve stiffness and stability at impact. This additional structural support helps maintain a consistent response during fast volleys and overhead shots.

Combined with the diamond-shaped head, it gives the Viper Soft 3.1 the stability required for an attacking game while retaining the more comfortable feel of its Soft Carbon construction.

Diamond Shape for Offensive Play

The diamond-shaped head is designed for players who favour attacking padel, particularly those who regularly move forward to control rallies at the net.

This shape supports powerful overheads and aggressive volleys, rewarding players with developed technique and consistent ball contact.
