The gentle evolution of power
Babolat unveils the new Technical Viper Soft 3.0 2026, a racket designed for attacking players seeking power, comfort and forgiveness in a single model.
With its diamond shape, it offers a head-heavy balance that promotes powerful shots and decisive attacks at the net and on the smash.
Its frame is made from Soft Carbon, a more flexible carbon that provides a softer feel, better vibration absorption and superior playing comfort, while retaining excellent responsiveness.
The racket incorporates Black EVA foam, renowned for its excellent balance of power, comfort and ball output, ideal for chaining shots together smoothly.
Thanks to Vibrasorb System² technology, vibrations are effectively reduced to protect the joints and improve comfort with every impact.
It also features the HPS (Hole Pattern System), optimising hole distribution to deliver greater precision and better power transfer.
The surface features 3D Spin+ technology, combining raised textures and a rough finish to enhance spin and strengthen ball control.
The Dynamic Stability System reinforces the racket's stability on off-centre hits, ensuring greater control and confidence in play.
Finally, the Smart Butt Cap allows the wrist strap to be removed and washed, for greater hygiene and personalisation.
A complete, comfortable and high-performance racket, ideal for attacking players seeking controlled power and a softer feel.
