Babolat Air Viper: Speed, Agility and Explosive Power for Air Strikers

The Babolat Air Viper is built for advanced attacking players who rely on speed and quick reactions rather than brute force. Its light weight and aerodynamic design make it fast through the air, easy to position, and ideal for rapid volleys and quick overhead preparation. A stiff carbon surface adds explosive power when you commit to the shot, so you can dictate points from the net.

Fast, Powerful and Precise

The hybrid shape combines elements of a diamond and a teardrop, giving a good mix of power and control with a more forgiving sweet spot than a pure diamond. The 16K carbon face is woven from thousands of carbon fibers, giving a stiff touch with maximum explosiveness and precision. Underneath, the X-EVA core uses three layers of EVA foam: two firmer outer layers boost power on hard shots, while a softer inner layer adds tolerance and comfort on slower balls. The 3D Spin+ rough surface helps you grip the ball and add spin and control.

Key Features

• 16K carbon face: a stiffer touch for explosive power and precision.
• X-EVA core: three EVA layers of different densities for a balance of power and comfort.
• Carbon frame: rigidity, durability, and responsiveness.
• Hybrid shape: a mix of power and control, with a wide enough sweet spot for aggressive play.
• 3D Spin+ surface: raised patterns and a rough finish for more spin and ball control.
• Holes Pattern System: hole size and distribution adapted to the shape of the racket to improve power transmission, precision, and aerodynamics.
• Vibrabsorb System (with SMAC): elastomers integrated into the carbon fibers of the core and handle to absorb vibration and protect the arm.
• Smart Buttcap: lets you adjust or remove the wrist strap.
