Babolat Viper Soft Juan Lebrón 3.0 vs Nox At10 Genius Ultra Light 2026 By Agustin Tapia

“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.”

“This trims Tapia's flagship AT10 Genius down to an Ultra Light build - HR2 core rather than the adult line's higher-tier tech, fibreglass instead of premium carbon, and a light 300-325g weight range. It's the AT10 Genius identity scaled toward accessibility rather than tour-level power, similar in spirit to Nox's junior AT10 builds but positioned for a broader range of lighter-framed players.”
