With a new mould, updated balance at 265mm, and a 16K carbon face, it was designed for players who move explosively, intercept fast at the net, and rely on quick swing speed to generate power rather than brute force. At 355g it feels almost effortless in the hand — the kind of racket where faster hands equal more decisive shots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for speed, aggression and net dominance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Air Viper 2025 rewards players who take the initiative. Its diamond shape pushes the sweet spot high in the head for explosive smashes and net finishes. The enlarged sweet spot compared to previous Viper models provides more forgiveness on off-centre contacts — you don't need perfect ball-striking to get powerful output. The X-EVA three-layer core gives you explosive response on hard swings and a more forgiving, comfortable feel on defensive contacts. If your game is built on speed, net presence, and finishing points quickly, this racket was made for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBabolat technologies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16K Carbon face\u003c\/strong\u003e — high-density 16K carbon fibre delivers maximum stiffness, explosive responsiveness, and outstanding power and precision on every strike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eX-EVA triple-layer core\u003c\/strong\u003e — two stiffer outer foam layers generate explosive ball response; the softer inner layer provides comfort and forgiveness on defensive and off-centre contacts.
