Overview

Babolat lists the Air Viper 2.6 as a padel racket with a teardrop head shape. Its published surface, frame, core, weight, thickness, and balance provide a defined configuration for comparison.

Construction and context

Babolat specifies a 16K carbon surface, carbon frame, and X-EVA core. These manufacturer terms describe materials and construction; they do not independently demonstrate feel, spin, or comfort.

Who it may suit

This record may be useful to a shopper comparing listed teardrop-shaped rackets, a 355 g +/- 10 g weight, or a 38 mm thickness. It does not determine suitability for a particular swing, skill level, or injury history.

Specifications in context

355 g +/- 10 g
This is Babolat's published weight range, so individual retail units can differ within that stated tolerance.
16K Carbon surface / X-EVA core
These are the stated material and core labels; they are useful comparison fields but do not guarantee a particular response at impact.

Tradeoffs and caveats

  • The stated weight includes a manufacturer tolerance of +/- 10 g.
  • A listed balance figure does not establish individual handling preference.
  • Confirm the current configuration and any included accessories on Babolat's product page.
