On-court performance

Explosive power

Thanks to its 3K Carbon surface, the Viper Juan Lebrón generates explosive energy on impact. The harder you hit, the more power it returns. This makes it perfect for overhead smashes, volleys, and fast-paced net play.

Spin and shot control

The 3D Spin+ surface texture provides exceptional grip on the ball. Whether you're hitting a vibora, bandeja, or topspin smash, the racket helps add spin and unpredictability to your shots, making it harder for opponents to read your game.

Stability and structure

The Dynamic Stability System, featuring a reinforced central beam, improves structural rigidity during powerful movements. This keeps your racket stable and precise even during aggressive rallies.

Comfort and customization

With Smart Buttcap, you can easily remove or change the wrist strap for hygiene or personal preference. While the racket is power-oriented, the EVA core helps reduce excessive shock, making it slightly more forgiving during longer sessions.
