In today’s review we are going to see all the details of its top-of-the-range models: the Technical Viper 2022 , the Air Viper 2022 and the Counter Viper 2022 , seeing what similarities and differences they present compared to last season.

Babolat Explosive 2022 padel racket collection

Babolat is already warming up for its new 2022 collection and advances us its most advanced rackets, 3 models that have become a bestseller and it is not for less since they bring together the best technologies of the brand and have also completely renewed their esthetic.

This season the 3 models share their already characteristic “explosive power” , adapting each racket to a specific style of play to delight the most demanding public.

The new collection is completed by the “Easy Power” and “Easy to Play” series with rackets for women and men. We are convinced that they will not disappoint!

BABOLAT TECHNICAL VIPER 2022

We start with the new Juan Lebrón racket , the Babolat Technical Viper 2022 . It was probably the best-selling and most desired model last season and this year we are convinced that it will continue along the same lines.

On an aesthetic level, it returns with a new design in red, black and silver tones in the central area. In our opinion, a much more striking design with which we will dazzle our opponents.

On court it is characterized by its power in the attacking game, thanks to the diamond format and slightly high balance, although it is not excessively stubborn. It also features an X-EVA core , with 2 harder outer layers and a softer inner layer.

This together with the 100% carbon construction and 12k fabric provide a semi-hard touch. It also maintains the rough surface , anti-vibration system and a fairly light weight, approximately 365 grams.

BABOLAT AIR VIPER 2022

We continue with another best seller: the Babolat Air Viper 2022 , a model that at first glance may seem very aggressive but once we have it in our hands, it will surprise us with its fantastic playability .

And it is that although it presents a diamond format it is very well compensated, with a medium balance in addition to a very light weight, around 355 grams. Thus, it is very manageable, especially when executing fast shots near the net.

For its manufacture, carbon with 16k fabric has been used in the planes in addition to the mixed core of eva rubber with different densities, which will give us a perfect balance between power and ball output.

It also significantly improves spin as it incorporates a rough surface and eliminates vibrations with the grip’s vibrasorb technology. In addition, this season it returns with a design in shades of blue that is most spectacular.

In our opinion, we are looking at a powerful model but one that surprises with its control and manageability, ideal for demanding players.

BABOLAT COUNTER VIPER 2022

To finish the Explosive Power series , we analyze the Babolat Counter Viper 2022 , the most versatile of the 3 with which you will have a perfect balance between power and control.

It has a wide sweet spot thanks to its tear format and medium balance, so it responds very well to off-center balls and provides very good punch near the net.

Like the rest of the models in the advanced series of Babolat rackets, it features a 100% carbon construction and 3k fabric for the planes as well as x-eva rubber sandwiched inside.

To finish, it also offers roughness on the surface so you can give much more effect to the cut or topspin balls as well as an improved design in yellow, black and silver tones. Undoubtedly, the new Counter Viper will make you enjoy each action to the fullest and you will feel a very pleasant touch.

3 VIPER for 3 types of players

In short, and based on our experience, we recommend the Juan Lebrón racket and the Air Viper to more aggressive players , who usually play in the backhand position and hit the ball hard, the Air Viper offering great maneuverability .

To finish, the Counter Viper is a more balanced padel racket , ideal for athletes who want to get their best shots from any corner of the court.
