The Babolat Viper 3.0 is Juan Lebrón’s 2026 racket. It weighs about 370g, with a 270mm balance, a 3K carbon face and the 3D Spin rough surface.
Padel Market lists the shape as teardrop, but the head heavy balance means it plays like an attacking racket. It is aimed at advanced and pro players.

How It Plays
The Viper 3.0 is heavy and powerful. The 270mm balance pushes weight into the head, so overheads have real pace.
The 3K face is firm, and the 3D Spin surface grips the ball for kick smashes.
It is demanding in defence, but for strong attackers it is one of the best rackets from the last two seasons.
