Our impression
The Technical Viper 2.5 is Babolat's power diamond for the 2025 season. The diamond shape sets the sweet spot high, and the head-heavy balance brings momentum to the smash and volley. The 12K carbon hitting face is stiff and precise, and the X-EVA core consists of three EVA layers. At 355 to 375 grams it sits in the usual range for attacking rackets, and the rough surface supports spin.
At 365 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. Head shape Diamond means: mass high up, a small, high sweet spot – maximum power, but less margin on off-centre hits than round and teardrop; the high balance puts the mass to work on the smash, but puts more strain on the arm. The hard core gives direct feedback on clean contact but is less forgiving. With power 9 and control 6 out of 10, it is clearly built for power.
With a forgiveness rating of 1.8 out of 10, it is less forgiving than 80% of the diamond-shaped rackets in our comparison. Of the 3 versions of the Babolat Technical Viper in our comparison, this is the lightest (365 g). 3 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €149.98 to €202.50 – a €53 difference for the same model.

How heavy is the Babolat Technical Viper 2.5 2025 and how is it built?
The Babolat Technical Viper 2.5 2025 weighs 365 g and has a diamond shape, a high (head-heavy) balance and a hard core (X-EVA). The frame is made of Carbon 12K.
Is the Babolat Technical Viper 2.5 2025 arm-friendly?
Not by our rule: the core is hard, the balance is head-heavy, the diamond shape shifts the weight upwards, 365 g is above 360 g. We only call rackets arm-friendly if they have a soft core, a balance that isn't head-heavy, a round or teardrop shape and weigh 360 g at most. Suitable models are listed in our guide to padel rackets for tennis elbow.
