The Veron 3.1 is Juan Lebrón's model for offensive play with easily accessible power. The diamond shape and high balance shift a lot of weight into the head, giving smashes and high shots extra pressure. The face is made of Carbon Flex, a weave of carbon and fibreglass, and the weight is 360 g. In fast exchanges at the net the head-heavy racket reacts a little more slowly than a round racket. In play tests it delivers its power without much effort and is easy to play even without perfect technique.
At 360 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 medium-hard core balances feedback and comfort. With power 9 and control 6 out of 10, it is clearly built for power.
With a forgiveness rating of 3.5 out of 10, it remains demanding, but it is more forgiving than 66% of the diamond-shaped rackets in our comparison. Of the 2 versions of the Babolat Veron in our comparison, this is the lightest (360 g) and also the most expensive (€179.90). 10 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €179.90 to €250 – a €70 difference for the same model.
Players from intermediate level upwards who want to play more offensively and are looking for easily accessible power.

Our classification: Intermediate and Competitive. Its forgiveness is 3.5 out of 10 – demanding, needs clean technique.
The Babolat Veron 3.1 2027 (Juan Lebron) weighs 360 g and has a diamond shape, a high (head-heavy) balance and a medium-hard core (Black EVA). The frame is made of Carbon Flex (Carbon/Fiberglas).
Not by our rule: the core is medium-hard, the balance is head-heavy, the diamond shape shifts the weight upwards. 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.
