Adidas Adipower Multiweight CTRL Pro EDT Álex Ruiz vs Babolat Viper Soft Juan Lebrón 3.0

“Álex Ruiz's Multiweight CTRL Pro is a control racket with an engineering party trick: the Multiweight system lets you tune the 365 g frame's balance, and the teardrop head with an 18K carbon face turns that adjustability into genuinely surgical placement. Control 92 is among the best we have scored; lobs land on the back glass, blocks drop short and dead. Comfort 76 and tolerance 77 make it kind for an advanced frame. Power 78 is deliberate: you finish with placement or you do not finish. For patient, tactical players it is a superb, tweakable instrument.”

“The Viper Soft Juan Lebrón 3.0 takes the same 365g Black EVA formula that already works on the Technical Viper Soft and wraps it in Juan Lebrón's signature diamond shell. Power eases back from the standard Viper JL's tour-level peak to a still-strong 82, and in exchange control and comfort both climb into the high 70s/80s — a genuinely balanced racket rather than a compromise. Maneuverability improves too, so the head-heavy diamond feels less punishing to hustle at net. The catch is coverage: it is stocked at a single retailer so far, and priced at parity with the far more aggressive standard Viper JL, so this is not the discount play the Technical Soft is.”
