Babolat
Editorial assessment · 2026 model
The Technical Viper 3.0 puts a 370 g target, head-heavy balance and Hard EVA together in a diamond-shaped racket. It makes sense to compare for an advanced player who already prefers that kind of setup. Babolat adds a Carbon Power Layer to the core construction and a reinforced bar in the heart. Include defensive lobs and rushed blocks in your trial; clean overheads are only part of the buying decision.

Compare repeated volleys, controlled overheads and defensive lobs with both rackets. Technical Veron uses CarbonFlex, Black EVA and a 360 g target; it still gives you a head-heavy diamond to assess. Decide whether the Viper helps your repeatable shots enough to justify its different construction and any price difference.
If you want a broader change in setup, Air Viper 2.6 lists even balance and a 355 g target. That comparison changes more than the foam and face. It is relevant when mass and balance are the reasons your current racket feels wrong.
Consider an alternative if: You want to reduce racket weight, move toward even balance or try a more flexible face construction.
Babolat
A teardrop Viper with even balance, a 355 g target and a 16K carbon face. Compare it with Air Veron if you want a different hitting response without moving to the heavier, head-heavy Technical Viper.
Babolat
A head-heavy diamond with a CarbonFlex face, Black EVA and a 360 g target. The Technical Veron is worth comparing if you like an attacking setup but want a different construction from the 370 g, Hard EVA Technical Viper.
