For over a century, Babolat has pioneered the evolution of racket sports. From the invention of natural gut strings to the explosive power of the Viper series, French heritage meets relentless technical innovation.
Heritage
Founded in Lyon, Babolat is the oldest company specialised in racket sports. It all began when Pierre Babolat created the first strings made of natural gut — a standard that defined tennis performance for decades.
Today, that same obsession with material science drives their padel lineup, translating nearly 150 years of string and frame expertise into some of the most technically demanding rackets in the game.
Blending traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering excellence.
3D Spin+ & Tricarbon Engineering
High-density carbon fiber weave that delivers explosive power and instantaneous response upon impact. Engineered for high-speed aggressive play.
A specialised rough finish combined with a grid-like pattern that increases ball friction for extreme spin generation and targeted placement.
Integrated elastomer in the carbon weave reduces vibration, providing enhanced comfort and preventing arm fatigue during intense rallies.
Technical insight
Optimised distribution and size of holes specific to each racket shape to boost power transmission and increase precision on every strike.
