Description from manufacturer
The new Air Viper will give you extreme manoeuvrability with hight reactivity: this is what you need to be an air striker. With the Air Viper, you can take every opportunity to get to the net and use your speed to generate power. This improved version of the Air Viper will give you more power and forgiveness thanks to the new racquet shape. We also wanted to give you more stability in your swing with its new shape with more surface area on the face of the racquet that will help you hit with more firmness while maintaining the lightness that the Air Viper has as one of its main characteristics. In addition we have incorporated an extra rough finish that will allow you to give incredible effects to the ball. Be an AIR STRIKER. Use your speed to outperform your opponents. The professional players on the Babolat team can play with a customized or a different model of the existing equipment.

"Rodrigo", Man 24 year
Level: amateur
It is a paddle with a medium-hard touch, standard sweet spot, medium balance, sandy roughness, and very versatile. It is quite comfortable when hitting, but requires considerable technique to exploit its full potential. Highly recommended for advanced players, but not for intermediate ones coming from lighter or easier-to-use paddles.

"Ginto", Man 30 year
Level: elite
Excellent racket for right-handed players, although it's a bit challenging for those who are not elite players. Good compromise between stiffness (you can control the shots) and power in flat smashes. Not great for spin and kick. The long handle helps with a two-handed backhand, but at times the point is not easy to handle.

"Jacopo", Man 43 year
Level: advanced (have paddle elbow)
Good in the air at the net, less so at the back of the court; the backhand causes inflammation in my arm halfway through the match, and my shots are no longer effective.

"Mp", Man 31 year
Level: advanced
Light, maneuverable, excellent for volleys, needs a bit of skill and footwork from the baseline.

"Jacopo", Man 43 year
Level: advanced (have paddle elbow)
My elbow becomes inflamed, and after half the match, I struggle to play despite the epicondylitis brace.

"Alessandra", Woman 52 year
Level: beginner (have paddle elbow)
I think it's good, but having had a severe epicondylitis, I find it a bit hard... I have a 16k.
