Babolat Air Viper Review
Diamond-shaped advanced racket from Babolat. Best for advanced players with a fast, clean swing who want maximum power.
High balance, smaller sweet spot, maximum power. For advanced players with a clean, fast swing. The Babolat Air Viper fits squarely in that mould: a high balance places the weight toward the head for extra mass behind the ball, and the Carbon face keeps the response stiff and lively.
