Babolat Viper Soft Juan Lebrón 3.0 2026

The Babolat Viper Soft Juan Lebrón 2026 is a power-oriented padel racket redesigned for a balance of explosive shot potential and increased comfort / forgiveness. Compared with the “standard” Viper 3.0, the Soft version uses a more flexible (“soft carbon”) surface and a more forgiving core — aiming to reduce vibration and make aggressive play (smashes, volleys) more accessible and less punishing on the arm. 

It targets competitive or advanced players who want the offensive DNA of the Viper line but prefer a gentler feel and more manageable handling.

Features & Highlights

• Diamond (head-heavy) Shape — Like the original Viper, the Soft uses a diamond-head mold, optimizing leverage and ball exit speed, which helps on smashes, overheads, and finishing strokes. 

• “Soft Carbon” Face / Frame Construction — The main differentiator: the Soft-carbon build adds flexibility compared to standard rigid carbon, which softens the feel on impact and increases tolerance on off-center hits. 

• Intermediate-Hardness / Softer Core (Black EVA / Soft-Touch EVA) — The racket uses a somewhat softer / more forgiving foam core compared to hard-core power rackets. This improves comfort, reduces vibration, and helps in easier ball exit even when your timing or technique is not perfect. 

• Rough / Textured Surface “3D Spin+” — The hitting surface features a textured finish to enhance ball grip, improving spin potential on smashes, slices, and viboras — giving you more shot variety even while keeping power bias. 

• Optimized Hole Pattern System (HPS) — Hole placement has been adjusted to the diamond shape to maximize sweet-spot size and improve power transfer and precision across the face. 

• Dynamic Stability System (reinforced core frame structure) — Despite the softer materials, the internal frame reinforcement provides stability and helps maintain control and shot accuracy during aggressive strokes.

• Offensive But More Forgiving Feel — The overall design aims to deliver aggressive-game performance (smashes, attacking volleys, finishes) but with a smoother, more manageable feel — good for players who like power but value playability and comfort.}
