The light version of Babolat's Viper family. It weighs about 355 g, has a balanced balance and a hybrid shape, between teardrop and diamond, which eases maneuvering at the net. The face is stiff, reactive 16K carbon, with a sandwich X-EVA core and a rough 3D Spin+ surface. The Vibrasorb with SMAC helps reduce vibration. It is recommended for the fast attacker who finds classic diamonds too heavy.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%56
Approval from players35%78

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
