It keeps the diamond head and the 270 mm balance that make the Viper an attacking frame, then pairs a soft carbon face with a black EVA core so the racket hits hard without hitting harshly.\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\u003eBlack EVA core — the foam behind the face, which sets how the ball is returned on contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft Carbon face — the striking surface Babolat specifies for this frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight 365 g +\/- 10 g with a 270 mm balance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibrabsorb System² (powered by SMAC).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic Stability System.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D Spin+.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerformance Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe word \"Soft\" here refers to the face, not the racket's intent. Soft carbon flexes more on contact than the 3K weave used on the standard Technical Viper, which lengthens dwell time slightly and produces a fuller, less brittle feel. The black EVA core does the same job from behind the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical consequence is comfort. A diamond-headed 365 g racket generates real shock on a heavy smash, and players who like that shape but not the arm punishment it brings are exactly who this frame is for. The Vibrabsorb System² damping and the Dynamic Stability System handle the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 38 mm frame thickness and 3D Spin+ surface round out a racket that is still firmly on the attacking side of the range — it is a softer Viper, not a control racket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond-head power with noticeably better arm comfort.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuller feel on contact than a stiff carbon face.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStability under heavy overhead loading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D Spin+ surface for cut smashes and topspin lobs.\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 Soft 3.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150179\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed \/ Dark Navy\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\u003e365 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\u003eBlack EVA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFace\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoft 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\u003eFrame Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechnologies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVibrabsorb System² (powered by SMAC), Dynamic Stability System, 3D Spin+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlayer Profile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechnical Striker — aggressive 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 Soft 3.0 solves a real problem: attacking players who want a diamond head but find hard-core frames punishing over a full season.
