Babolat Viper Juan Lebrón 3.1
The Babolat Viper Juan Lebrón 3.1 is the ultimate attacking racket, developed together with former world number one Juan "El Lobo" Lebrón. It is designed for advanced and professional players who take the initiative on the padel court and want to decide every point with explosive power.
This is not a racket for beginners or for players looking for extra control and comfort — the Viper 3.1 demands technical skill and an offensive playing style to unlock its full potential.
What type of player is this racket suited to?
The Viper Juan Lebrón 3.1 is ideally suited to advanced and professional players with a distinctly attacking game. Think of players who train regularly and intensively, like to dominate at the net and want to put away their smashes and attacking balls with maximum speed and precision. The diamond shape and head-heavy balance provide extra hitting power on overheads and attacking volleys.
Players who value control, want an easy-to-play racket or are still developing their technique are better off with a more balanced or round-shaped model.
Key features
The Viper Juan Lebrón 3.1 has a diamond shape with a head-heavy balance for maximum hitting power. The face is made of 3K Carbon, giving a stiff and extremely responsive frame. The core is Hard EVA foam, which delivers explosive rebound and an immediate response on every contact. The weight is approximately 370 g (±10 g). The Dynamic Stability System reinforces the central core of the frame for extra stability and power transfer. The 3D Spin texture on the face increases grip on the ball for more spin and rotation. The Holes Pattern System (HPS) optimises the hole layout for maximum performance to suit the racket shape.
Feel and performance
This racket delivers a direct, powerful and connected feel on every contact. The 3K Carbon construction maximises energy transfer, so smashes and attacking shots land hard and decisively. In fast play at the net the racket reacts instantly, keeping you sharp and effective even in quick exchanges.
The Babolat Viper Juan Lebrón 3.1 is the logical choice for the ambitious padel player who wants to take their attacking game to the highest level and opts for the same racket concept as one of the best players in the world.

All about the Babolat Viper Juan Lebrón 3.1
Shape
Round:
Round rackets have a low balance with a large sweet spot (ideal hitting point) in the center of the racket. Round rackets are very maneuverable and offer a lot of control. Perfect for beginners or experienced players who desire a lot of control in their game.
Droplet:
Droplet rackets have a slightly higher balance and a slightly smaller sweet spot. This provides an excellent balance between control and power. These versatile rackets are suitable for intermediate players and various playing styles.
Diamond:
The balance point is towards the top of the racket and the sweet spot is even smaller. The racket is less maneuverable but offers maximum power. These rackets are suitable for advanced players with an attacking playing style.
Hybrid:
Hybrid rackets combine features of droplet and diamond-shaped rackets. These hybrid shapes are often difficult to classify or even completely new. Usually, these rackets offer a mix of power and comfort. These rackets are often ideal for intermediate to advanced players and are accessible for multiple play styles.
Playing style
Controlling:
These rackets are focused on precision and consistency, allowing players more control over their shots. They usually have a lower balance point and a larger sweet spot, making them suitable for players who prefer placement and tactics over power.
All-Round:
This type of racket offers a balanced mix of power, control, and maneuverability, making it suitable for various playing styles and skill levels. They are versatile and can be used for both offensive and controlling game strategies, with a sweet spot that offers a compromise between power and precision.
Attacking:
These rackets are designed to promote powerful shots and help players generate speed and spin for aggressive attacks. They often have a higher balance point for extra power in smashes and volleys, but a smaller sweet spot for more precision and control over powerful shots.
Touch
Soft Touch:
Rackets with a soft touch provide players with a subtle feel and cushioning when hitting the ball. These rackets absorb vibrations and offer more comfort, making them ideal for players who prefer control and precision over pure power.
Medium Touch:
Rackets with a medium touch offer a balanced mix of control and power. They provide sufficient feedback to the player when hitting the ball while still offering a good level of comfort. These rackets are suitable for players looking for versatile performance.
Hard Touch:
Rackets with a hard touch provide a more direct feel and less cushioning on impact. They deliver more power to shots and promote aggressive play, making them ideal for players seeking maximum hitting power and explosiveness.
Feeling
Light Feeling:
Rackets with a light feeling offer not only speed and maneuverability but are also less prone to causing injuries and feel comfortable during long play sessions. These rackets are ideal for players looking for a sense of control without compromising on comfort and arm health.
Medium Feeling:
Rackets with a medium feeling provide a balanced combination of control, power, and comfort. They give sufficient feedback to the player when hitting the ball and are suitable for players of various levels looking for reliable performance.
Heavy Feeling:
Rackets with a heavy feeling offer players more stability and power with each stroke, but they also often feel a bit heavier in the hand. These rackets are suitable for players who prefer a solid feel and maximum hitting power, even if it means a bit of extra weight.
Surface
Smooth:
Rackets with a smooth surface provide players with a consistent and smooth hitting experience. This surface minimizes friction and promotes quick ball movement, making it ideal for players who prefer control and precision in their shots.
Sand:
Rackets with a sand surface have a rougher texture that offers more grip on the ball. This surface enhances spin and placement, allowing players to impart more spin to their shots and better manipulate the ball during play.
3D:
Rackets with a 3D surface feature a relief pattern that is three-dimensional, creating a unique texture. This surface promotes spin, control, and precision, allowing players to add more variety and spin to their shots while maintaining a comfortable grip.
