Babolat rackets

Babolat padel rackets: designed around your playing style

For over a century, Babolat has been synonymous with innovation in racket sports. After building its reputation in tennis, the French brand has transferred that same expertise to the world of padel, developing a range of rackets capable of meeting the needs of players of all levels.

Babolat's philosophy is different from that of many other manufacturers. The goal isn't simply to create more powerful or lighter rackets, but to design each model based on the athlete's playing style.

For this reason the range is organised into three main families: Technical, Air e Counter, each available in versions Viper, Veron e Vertuo, dedicated respectively to expert, intermediate and beginner players.

Why choose a Babolat racket

Babolat is one of the most recognized brands on the international padel scene thanks to its construction quality, continuous technological research and collaboration with some of the best players on the Premier Padel circuit.

Babolat rackets are appreciated for:

• premium materials;
• excellent build quality;
• wide range for every level;
• great playing comfort;
• technologies dedicated to vibration reduction;
• excellent balance between power and control;
• continuous development together with professionals.

Each racket is designed to offer precise sensations during play, allowing the player to find a model that truly suits their way of being on the court.

The Babolat families

Technical

The Technical line is designed for the offensive player. The racquets in this family emphasize power, smashes, and ball speed. They're ideal for those who like to finish points quickly and exploit every opportunity to attack.

Air

The Air family is designed for dynamic players. Its lightweight, easy handling, and quick swing speed allow for quicker rallies and easier handling in fast-paced game situations. It's one of the most popular lines among modern players.

Counter

Counter racquets are designed for those who patiently build the point. They offer a more generous sweet spot, greater stability, and excellent control, helping the player turn defense into offensive opportunities.

Viper, Veron, and Vertuo: Which One Should You Choose?

Each family develops on three different levels.

Viper

The top-of-the-line line. Made entirely of carbon, it is designed for expert players who hit with great intensity. It guarantees maximum precision and responsiveness.

Veron

Designed for intermediate players. Carbon Flex technology combines carbon and fiberglass, offering the perfect balance of performance and comfort. It's probably the most versatile line in the entire range.

Vertuo

The ideal solution for beginners. The fiberglass surfaces make the racket more elastic and forgiving, facilitating the ball's exit and increasing comfort.

Babolat technologies

One of the brand's main strengths is its ongoing technological research. Among the most popular solutions are:

X-EVA

A multi-layer construction that combines different densities of EVA to offer power on decisive shots and comfort in slower game situations.

Carbon Flex

Exclusive technology combining carbon and fiberglass. It allows for excellent ball output without sacrificing accuracy.

Vibrabsorb System² Powered by SMAC

A system developed to absorb vibrations generated by ball impact. It reduces arm fatigue and improves comfort during play.

3D Spin+

Surface with reliefs designed to increase the spin on the ball.

Smart Buttcap

A system that allows for easy replacement of the wrist strap. A practical solution, appreciated by both professionals and amateurs.
