Our impression
Juan Lebrón's Viper 3.0 is Babolat's uncompromising attacking flagship, the racket of the current world number one four years in a row: a Black EVA core and a 3K carbon face with the Dynamic Stability System deliver explosive power and exceptionally direct feedback. A racket that promises full hardness and tournament pedigree with no compromises.
At 370 g, it is heavier than three quarters of all models in our comparison: that puts mass behind the ball and adds stability against hard shots, but costs reaction speed at the net. 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 5 out of 10, it is clearly built for power.
With a forgiveness rating of 2.1 out of 10, it is less forgiving than 74% of the diamond-shaped rackets in our comparison. 10 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €199 to €349.95 – a €151 difference for the same model.
