The Babolat Viper Juan Lebron, weighing in at 365g with a high balance point, is clearly designed for the attacking player. Its diamond shape and hard 12K carbon fiber surface, combined with a hard Black EVA core, provide a very stiff feel on impact. In our testing, this setup delivered exceptional power, which we rated at 8.9/10, making it a formidable tool for aggressive volleys and smashes. We also observed outstanding spin generation, for which we attributed it 9.5/10, thanks to its rough surface type, allowing for excellent grip on the ball. While its aggressive nature shines in offensive plays, the high difficulty score of 9.1/10 reflects that this racket demands precise technique and a strong arm to manage effectively. Control, as expected from a power-oriented diamond racket with a hard feel, is more challenging to achieve, with our team rating it at 5.6/10. This is a racket for the seasoned competition player who can consistently find the sweet spot and harness its explosiveness. We found its durability to be excellent, scoring it 9.3/10, suggesting it will withstand the rigors of intense play. The Viper Juan Lebron, priced at $420, offers a specific set of characteristics that caters to a very technical, attacking playstyle.

Manufacturer's Description
Take the chance to play as the world's highest-ranked padel player, Juan ""El Lobo"" Lebrón! This new model from Babolat has been developed in collaboration with Lebrón and carefully tailored to his aggressively offensive style. Viper Juan Lebrón has all the features needed to deliver superior speed and spin on the ball. The racket's core consists of a solid stiff core for maximum power on ball impact. During hard hits such as smashes, the core responds quickly and sends the ball out with awesome speed. Compared to Lebrón's previous model, this racket's hitting surface consists of a 40% thicker carbon layer. The result is an extra stiff hitting surface for dominating explosiveness in the strokes. All top models from Babolat are designed with HPS-Technology, which means that the holes in the racket are strategically placed and adapted to the racket's shape. This particular model has two extra holes drilled at the bottom of the racket to compensate for stiffness, extend the sweet spot in the lower part of the racket, and facilitate defensive shots. Compared to other models from Babolat, Viper Juan Lebrón has an extra rough surface for maximum grip on the ball. A grooved pattern and a coarse-grained sandpaper surface deliver the highest possible spin effect. Previously, Babolat has implemented a damping system to minimize vibrations in the racket that can lead to injuries. With the new updated Vibrasorb System 2, vibrations are further reduced to give more feel, increased comfort, and less shock in the strokes. Another new feature is the ability to remove and replace the wrist strap on the racket. Whether you want to change the color or put it in the washing machine, it takes no more than a few seconds to take off or put on a new one.
