Babolat Viper Soft Juan Lebrón 3.0 vs Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026 Juan Tello

“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.”

“The Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026 Juan Tello is a 265 mm diamond power frame built for advanced players who want to finish points from the back with elite overhead pace. Power at 94 is exceptional: viboras and smashes carry serious weight through the Multilayer EVA core, and the head-weighted character amplifies every attacking shot. Control at 78 is functional. Comfort at 66 and tolerance at 65 both warn that this is a demanding, unforgiving frame. PRR score: 93/100.”
