FAQs — Babolat padel rackets 2025
What’s the main difference between Viper and Veron?
Viper uses full carbon faces and a firmer X-EVA core for maximum power and a crisper strike. Veron blends carbon + fiberglass (Carbon Flex) to add comfort and easier ball exit while keeping attacking potential.
Who should choose Vertuo (including Lebrón Vertuo)?
Players looking for a forgiving, softer response and easy acceleration. Fiberglass faces and softer cores help if you’re developing timing or prefer a smoother feel.
Diamond vs hybrid shapes — what changes on court?
Diamond puts more mass up top for bigger overheads and smashes; hybrid/all-round shapes keep the sweet spot more centered for consistency in defense and transitions.
Do Viper and Veron share the same core?
Both use X-EVA multi-density cores, but Viper is tuned firmer for a harder, more direct hit, while Veron is calibrated to feel more comfortable and accessible.
