What counts as Babolat 2027

Babolat does not put years on its rackets; it numbers the generations. The newest are the three Juan Lebrón 3.1 models, which shops are selling as the 2027 collection. They share one diamond mould and one new idea:

Dynamic Stability System. A reinforced central bar in the heart of the racket. Babolat says it adds stiffness to the frame, which improves stability at impact and adds power.
Three faces, three feels. Carbon 3K on the Viper, Soft Carbon on the Viper Soft and Carbon Flex on the Veron, getting softer and less expensive as you go down.
3D Spin. Raised patterns on the faces to help with spin, on all three.

The rest of Babolat’s current padel range, the Technical 3.0, Air 2.6 and Counter 2.6 rackets, is the generation launched for 2026. We will add the replacements to this page when Babolat releases them.

Three rackets · €240–€390

Babolat Juan Lebrón 3.1

All three are head-heavy diamonds that Babolat classes as “Technical Striker” rackets, built for attacking play. What changes is the face, the core, the weight and the price.

Diamond · Power · The tour racket

Balance: Head heavy
Face: Carbon 3K

Thickness: 38 mm
RRP: €390

3K carbon over a Hard EVA core: the firmest, most responsive of the three
New Dynamic Stability System, a reinforced bar in the heart that stiffens the frame at impact
3D Spin textured faces

Babolat 2027: common questions

Is there a Babolat 2027 padel range?

So far it is the Juan Lebrón 3.1 line: the Viper, Viper Soft and Veron. The other rackets on Babolat’s site today are the 2026 generation. We will update this page when new models appear.

What is the difference between the Viper, Viper Soft and Veron Juan Lebrón 3.1?

The shape is the same. The Viper has Carbon 3K faces and a Hard EVA core, weighs 370 g and costs €390. The Viper Soft uses Soft Carbon and Black EVA at 365 g and €300. The Veron uses Carbon Flex and Black EVA at 360 g and €240.

Which racket does Juan Lebrón play with?

Babolat describes the Viper Juan Lebrón 3.1 as the racket used by Lebrón on the professional circuit, and notes that its pro players may play with a customised or different model from the one sold.

Which one suits an intermediate player?

The Veron. Babolat describes it as ideal for intermediate and competitive players with an offensive style. If you defend more than you attack, a round racket will suit you better: see our Babolat Counter Vertuo 2.6 review.

Can I buy Babolat 2027 rackets in Ireland?

That is what the vote is for. Openplay is an Irish shop based in Waterford, and we will order the models people ask for. Until then, our current Babolat padel rackets ship from Ireland with no customs charges.

Specs, prices and photos are Babolat’s own, taken from babolat.com on 10 November 2026. Prices are Babolat’s recommended retail prices in euro, not Openplay prices. The pros and cons are our reading of the published specs; we have not play-tested these rackets yet and will update this page when we have.
