In stock
The Babolat Technical Viper Soft 3.0 2026 is built for advanced attacking players who want to play aggressive padel without the harsh stiffness that usually comes with a full power racket. It keeps the same point-finishing DNA as the Technical Viper range — diamond shape, high balance, and serious overhead power — but adds a more forgiving response for longer, high-intensity sessions.
The diamond-shaped profile and head-heavy balance are made for players who like to take control at the net and end points with authority. It feels especially strong on smashes, viboras and fast volleys, where the racket helps you generate pace and depth with less effort. What makes the Soft version different is the feel at contact: the Carbon Twill 3K surface delivers a smoother, slightly more elastic response than traditional rigid carbon faces, giving you power without the same “hard” sensation on every strike.
Inside, the Black EVA core is tuned for controlled explosiveness and improved comfort, while SMAC vibration absorption helps reduce impact stress through the frame and handle. Add in Babolat’s Dynamic Stability System, and you get a racket that stays stable and precise even when you’re under pressure or hitting at full speed. The textured finish supports extra spin and shape on aggressive shots, giving you more margin and control when you’re attacking.
Overall, the Technical Viper Soft 3.0 2026 is ideal for advanced players (or strong intermediates with good technique) who want maximum attacking performance, a more comfortable feel, and the confidence to keep swinging freely across long matches.

The expert's thoughts..
The Babolat Technical Viper Soft 3.0 2026 is basically for the attacking player who wants that proper Technical Viper punch, but without the usual “boardy” feel that can wreck your arm over time. It’s still diamond-shaped and head heavy, so it absolutely encourages you to play aggressive — step in, take the ball early, hit hard overheads, and look to finish points. But the difference with this Soft version is the touch: it feels more elastic and forgiving, so you can go full intensity without feeling like every impact is rattling your shoulder or elbow.
On court, it feels like a racket that gives you easy power with control still there, especially on fast volleys and overheads where you want the ball to jump. The Carbon Twill 3K + Black EVA combo makes the strike feel smoother and less harsh than the standard Technical Viper, but it still has that crisp “Viper response” when you hit clean. It’s best suited to advanced players (or strong intermediates who play aggressive and can handle a head-heavy racket) who want to attack relentlessly, add spin when needed, and stay comfortable across long matches — without switching into a softer, less serious racket.
