Babolat Technical Viper 3.0 vs Kombat Etna 2026 By Manu Martin

“The Technical Viper 3.0 is the bluntest instrument in Babolat's range and makes no apology for it. Head-heavy, diamond, Black EVA behind a Carbon 3K face: swing hard and the ball leaves at 94-power pace, the highest tier we score. Everything else is the price of admission. Control 74 asks you to aim with your feet, comfort 62 makes it one of the harshest hits at tour level, and tolerance 61 turns mishits into nothing balls. Maneuverability 66 means late reactions at the net stay late. For a physically strong, technically clean attacker it is devastating. For anyone else it is a fast route to a sore elbow.”

“The Kombat Etna 2026 by Manu Martin is a mid-range diamond-shaped racket aimed at aggressive intermediate players seeking extra punch, but it lacks the refinement and feel consistency needed to truly compete with established brands at a similar price point. On-court it delivers decent smash power but can feel stiff and unforgiving on off-centre hits, making control placement a real challenge under pressure. Players who prioritize raw attack over finesse may find it serviceable, but those with any arm sensitivity or demanding touch play will quickly outgrow it.”
