The Bourne Carbon 3 Prisma presents itself as a balanced option for competition-level players, featuring a hybrid shape and a medium balance. We observed a consistent feel across the face, thanks to its medium firmness 3K carbon fiber surface and EVA Hypersoft core. During testing, we found this racket performed well in various situations, offering a blend of attributes that suit an all-rounder playstyle. According to our tests, it scores well for spin at 8.1/10, making it effective for adding slice and topspin to shots. Weighing between 350 and 375 grams, it feels maneuverable at the net while still providing enough stability for defensive play. While we rate its power and control both at 6.5/10, indicating a balanced rather than specialized performance in either area, the rough surface type significantly enhances ball grip. The 38mm carbon fiber frame contributes to the racket's overall durability, which we attributed a score of 7.4/10. We also assessed its difficulty at 7.6/10, suggesting it’s a racket that rewards good technique. The Varlion Bourne Carbon 3 Prisma is a solid choice for adult players seeking a versatile racket for competitive play. If you've had a chance to play with this one, we'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
Manufacturer's Description
Varlion padel racket of professional level with a teardrop shape that privileges power over control. It is made of a bidirectional carbon tube. Its core is made of 38mm Eva Hypersoft rubber of medium hardness, and it is laminated by layers of carbon and fiberglass fabric. The heart area is also reinforced with carbon fiber fabrics impregnated with Varlion's exclusive VAR-FLEX epoxy resin to obtain maximum elasticity and resistance and covered by a layer of titanium dioxide. One of the most important characteristics of this racket is the incorporation of Prisma frame, which provides greater acceleration and speed of movements thanks to its aerodynamic design. It includes as standard the adhesive Prisma bumper, which is designed and produced through an injection mold in low-hardness PTU to absorb shocks and scratches. This bumper is fixed on the frame of the racket through an adhesive, which also helps to avoid vibrations. Thanks to Aerodynamic Drilling, turbulence is reduced, offering greater resistance in the core and greater stability during hitting cause the centre of the racket flexes less. This generates an increase in the sweet spot of the racket. We have also applied the Slice technology (rough texture) to the hitting surface through a direct 3D screen printing system, to help the player apply effects on the ball more effectively. And finally, it is worth highlighting the Handlesafety technology, a new safety system for the handle. Normally, in all rackets the rope comes out from a centered hole which is attached to the handle frame by means of a pin, rivets, nails, etc. However, with this system, the rope goes through the two walls of the handle and comes out on both sides of the tip, thus giving 100% safety and comfort to the grip.
