At 370 g with a 270 mm balance, it carries its weight high in the head, which is exactly what a smash-first game wants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: This product is available for in-store purchase only.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond head shape — concentrates mass high in the head for maximum power, with a smaller and less forgiving sweet spot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard EVA core — the foam behind the face, which sets how the ball is returned on contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3K Carbon face — the striking surface Babolat specifies for this frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight 370 g +\/- 10 g with a 270 mm balance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon Power Layer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic Stability System.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibrabsorb System² (powered by SMAC).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerformance Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA diamond head shape moves the sweet spot up the face and puts mass behind the ball at the point of contact. That is a deliberate trade: the effective hitting area is smaller and less forgiving than a round frame, and in return the ball comes off the face considerably harder from the top of the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hard EVA core reinforces the same intent. It compresses less on impact, returning a firm, direct response with plenty of feedback, and it holds that character in cold conditions where softer cores go dead. Combined with the Carbon Power Layer and the Dynamic Stability System, the frame stays composed under the load of a full-blooded smash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a beginner's racket. The 370 g weight and high balance demand a developed technique and reasonable arm conditioning, and a player who is still working on contact point will find it unforgiving. For a competitive attacker, that is the whole appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine put-away power from above the net.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirm, direct feedback that rewards clean contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStability through the frame under heavy impact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibrabsorb System² damping to take the edge off hard hitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBabolat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechnical Viper 3.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150175\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHead Shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiamond\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e370 g +\/- 10 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBalance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e270 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHard EVA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFace\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3K Carbon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechnologies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbon Power Layer, Dynamic Stability System, Vibrabsorb System² (powered by SMAC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlayer Profile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechnical Striker — competitive players\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSport\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePadel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Central Sports?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ 100% Genuine \u0026amp; Authorised Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🎾 Trusted Padel \u0026amp; Racket Sports Specialist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📦 Secure Packaging \u0026amp; Fast Processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🤝 Reliable Customer Support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🆕 Access to Latest Releases \u0026amp; Collections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFinal Verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Technical Viper 3.0 is an uncompromising attacking frame.
