EXPECTED SHIPPING: 30\/9!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Babolat Viper Juan Lebron 3.1 is the signature racket of world number one Juan Lebron and the most powerful padel racket in the entire Babolat range. Built for advanced and professional attacking players who close points at the net, this diamond-shaped racket combines a head-heavy balance with a hard X-EVA core and a 3K carbon face with a textured surface. Every gram of energy in the swing is channelled towards the top of the face for maximum leverage on the smash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho suits this racket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWell suited to:\u003c\/strong\u003e advanced to professional players who play an attacking game and finish points from above. Players who consistently hit the middle of the face and have the technique to control a diamond geometry with a head-heavy balance. Juan Lebron plays this racket at the highest level of world padel and its character is built around his style: raw power on the smash and vibora, aggressive positioning at the net.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLess suited to:\u003c\/strong\u003e players who value control and comfort over pure power, players developing their technique, or anyone with a sensitive elbow. The hard X-EVA core and the head-heavy build put more load on the arm than a round control racket does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does this racket play?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe diamond shape places the sweetspot high on the face which is exactly where an attacking player hits the ball on the smash and the vibora. Off-centre shots feel less forgiving than on a teardrop or round shape but for a player who finds the middle consistently, the payoff is direct explosive response with every attacking shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X-EVA core is one of the hardest cores in the Babolat range and returns the ball at maximum speed on hard hits. Combined with the head-heavy balance and the 3K carbon face, this racket generates the kind of ball speed that Lebron uses to end points from the back of the court. The textured face grips the ball longer on impact which adds spin to bandeja, vibora and slice shots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalance:\u003c\/strong\u003e head-heavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 370 grams (±10 grams)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore:\u003c\/strong\u003e X-EVA (hard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFace:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3K carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface:\u003c\/strong\u003e textured (spin-oriented)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel:\u003c\/strong\u003e advanced to professional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlaying style:\u003c\/strong\u003e attack, power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature player:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juan Lebron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Babolat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen will the Babolat Viper Juan Lebron 3.1 ship?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a pre-order.
