What It Feels Like
The Technical Viper Soft still hits like a Viper. The high balance drives smashes and viboras, and when you find the sweet spot the ball flies.
The difference is at the net. The softer face holds the ball a fraction longer, so drop volleys and touch shots are easier to control. It is still a demanding racket, but it is kinder on the arm than the stiffest Vipers.
