Who is this product designed for?
This racket was designed for intermediate to advanced players looking for explosive power with extreme manoeuvrability: just what you need to become an air striker.
With the Air Viper, you can seize every opportunity to play the net and leverage your quickness to hit powerful shots. You'll get the same feeling of a lightweight, powerful racket that feels comfortable in your hand.

Weight: 355 g
In reality, the weight is measured in grams. Just like the balance point, the weight impacts a racket's swingweight and therefore its manoeuvrability, stability and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racket, the more power you'll get, but the harder it will be to handle. Conversely, the lighter the racket, the easier it will be to handle, but the less powerful it will be.
Balance: Even (neutral)
This is the racket balance point, measured in millimetres from the bottom of the racket handle.
The larger the number (head-heavy balance), the more power and stability you'll get from the racket and the heavier it will feel (even if it's not a heavy racket). However, you'll have to give up some manoeuvrability. The smaller the number (grip biased or handle heavy), the easier the racket will be to handle, but the less power and stability you'll get.
VIBRABSORB SYSTEM²
Powered by SMAC technology, this system allows optimal vibration absorption thanks to a combination of elastomers integrated into the carbon fibres at the heart of the racquet. It also includes foam in the core of the racquet and/or elastomers in the handle.
3D SPIN+
Ridges on the padel's surface and a rough finish help maximize spin and provide better control.
SMART BUTTCAP
This system lets players remove the wrist strap: you can take it off to wash it or swap it out.
X-EVA FOAM
The racket core comprises a sandwich of three different EVA layers. The outer layers are stiffer for more explosiveness on powerful shots while the softer inner layer offers improved forgiveness on slower shots.
16K carbon
Frame and face in high-density 16K carbon. The material is durable and provides excellent energy return.This allows you to give precise and powerful shots
