Babolat Viper Soft Juan Lebrón 3.0 vs Bullpadel Xplo 2026 Martin Di Nenno

“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 Xplo 2026 Martin Di Nenno is a head-heavy diamond at 375 g with a multi-foam core and Carbon 12K face, built for advanced players who want serious overhead aggression. Power at 92 leads the profile, with a PRR of 90. Control at 74 and tolerance at 63 are both low: clean, committed technique is essential. Comfort at 64 confirms this is a demanding frame. PRR score: 90/100.”
