Performance Every metric, scored out of 100. The verdict The Babolat Air Viper 2.5 is built for players who want to punish the ball with authority. Its diamond shape and EVA core combine to deliver serious pop on drives and smashes, making it a genuine weapon at the intermediate level. The grip surface adds traction on aggressive shots, though you'll feel the stiffness creep in during long rallies. If power is your priority and you can live with modest control, this racket delivers.
