The Babolat Technical Veron is Babolat’s power-leaning all-rounder — a ~365g diamond with a CarbonFlex face and head-heavy balance, built for aggressive intermediate-to-advanced players who want pace with a bit more comfort than a pure flagship.

The Veron is Babolat’s medium-hard, all-round series, and in the diamond-shaped ‘Technical’ build it tilts firmly toward power. A head-heavy balance and CarbonFlex face give it real attacking bite, while the Vibrasorb System2 core keeps the strike more comfortable than a full-carbon flagship — a power racket that’s a little more forgiving than the Viper.

The Babolat Counter Vertuo is Babolat’s round-shaped control racket — a ~350g frame with a medium-soft EVA core and wide sweet spot, built for defence-first players who win points with placement and consistency.

The ‘Counter’ shape is Babolat’s round, control-oriented profile, and in the soft-cored Vertuo line it’s all about comfort and forgiveness. The round head centres the sweet spot and the medium-soft EVA core keeps the strike gentle, making this one of the most forgiving palas in Babolat’s performance range.

The Babolat Air Vertuo is the light, soft, control-friendly member of Babolat’s Vertuo line — a ~345g teardrop with a soft EVA core and fibreglass face, built for intermediate players who value comfort and forgiveness.

The Vertuo is Babolat’s soft-core, control-oriented series, aimed at beginner-to-intermediate players who want comfort and an easy, forgiving strike. In the lightweight ‘Air’ build it’s especially manoeuvrable — a teardrop that keeps a generous sweet spot while staying gentle on the arm.

The Babolat Air Veron is Babolat’s versatile, quick-handling all-rounder — a ~355g teardrop with a CarbonFlex face and even balance, built for intermediate-to-advanced players who want speed and control in one frame.

The Veron is Babolat’s medium-hard, all-round line, sitting between the soft Vertuo and the power Viper. In the lighter ‘Air’ build it’s especially fast through the air — a teardrop that blends attacking bite with the forgiveness and manoeuvrability all-court players rely on.

The Babolat Air Origin is one of the lightest, most forgiving rackets Babolat makes — a ~345g teardrop with a soft EVA core, built for beginners and improvers who want an easy, arm-friendly racket to learn on.

The Air Origin sits at the entry point of Babolat’s range, below the performance Veron and Vertuo frames. The ‘Air’ name signals its biggest selling point — low weight — while the hybrid carbon-and-fibreglass build and oversized sweet spot keep it gentle and forgiving for players still developing their technique.

The Babolat Contact is one of Babolat’s most popular beginner rackets — a round, oversized frame with a huge sweet spot, built to make learning the game as easy as possible.

The Contact sits at the entry point of Babolat’s range, designed for players picking up a racket for the first time. Its oversized round head and flexible carbon-fibreglass build prioritise forgiveness and comfort over power — you push the ball rather than hit it, which is exactly what new players need while they find their technique.

The Babolat Counter Origin is a round, control-first racket built for beginners and improvers — an oversize sweet spot and head-light balance make it forgiving and easy to place, with no prior racket-sport experience needed.

Babolat’s Counter family is its control-first line, and the Origin is the entry point — a round, forgiving frame aimed at players new to padel, including those without a racket-sport background. It sits at the start of the range, below the carbon Counter models.

The Babolat Technical Vertuo is the comfort-focused sibling of the Technical Viper — a diamond-shaped frame with fibreglass faces that gives the Viper’s attacking profile in a softer, more forgiving build for improving players.

Babolat’s Technical line splits into two: the carbon Viper for advanced attackers, and this fibreglass Vertuo for players who want the same diamond shape with far more comfort. It sits in the improver tier of the 2026 range, a notch below the Viper in both stiffness and price.

The Babolat Technical Viper is Juan Lebrón’s signature racket — a diamond-shaped power frame with 3K carbon faces and a head-heavy balance, built for advanced players who finish points with brute pace.

Babolat built the Technical Viper for the front of the court: a stiff, head-heavy diamond that turns clean contact into put-away pace. It sits at the top of Babolat’s 2026 power range, above the softer, fibreglass Technical Vertuo and the control-focused Counter line — and it’s the frame Juan Lebrón leans on to finish points.
