Babolat Technical Veron 2.5 Padel Racket

Enjoy aggressive playability with the Babolat Technical Veron 2.5 Padel Racket in Black/Red, a diamond-shaped racket that’s designed to give intermediate and advanced players explosive hitting that you can stay in control of.

Featuring Carbon Flex technology, the Babolat Technical Veron 2.5 Padel Racket delivers high levels of energy return on the shots of intermediate and advanced players, with rigid carbon blended with softer fibreglass to create a dynamic hitting surface. The diamond headshape and high balance work in tandem with the Holes Pattern System that uses wider drilled holes towards the top of the racket to increase the force you generate on overhead shots.

The softer properties of the fibreglass in the surface combined with the elastomer material (Vibrabsorb) in the racket’s core attenuate harmful vibrations to give you a plush feel as you hit the ball, minimising both fatigue and common arm injuries associated with racket sports. The rough relief of the 3D Spin+ finish on the surface grips onto the ball to allow you to play with both spin and finesse.

BABOLAT

One of the sport’s most historic brands, Babolat’s tennis story began all the way back in 1875, when, utilising their expertise in the processing of natural gut for musical instruments and archery bows, Pierre Babolat and his team produced the first ever natural gut racket string.

A series of innovations followed, including the tension-resistant Babolat VS string in 1925, which remains popular today, through to the Cordynel – the world’s first electric stringing machine – in 1981. The Lyon-based brand are also responsible for some of the most technologically advanced synthetic strings on the market, such as the RPM and Xcel ranges. In short, they are the masters of strings.

But what about rackets? It might surprise you to learn that Babolat’s first range of rackets was released relatively recently, with another Pierre Babolat, great grandson of the family company’s founder, creating the Pure line in 1994.

Having cleverly gifted their frames to talented up-and-comers, Babolat’s name began to ring out on the pro circuit, chiefly thanks to the Pure Drive. After Carlos Moya won the French Open in ’98 using the power-focused racket, Andy Roddick and Kim Clijsters became ATP and WTA No.1s with the same frame in 2003. A couple of years later, a youthful Rafael Nadal won his first Slam title, conquering Roland-Garros with the Aeropro Drive, which was specifically designed to suit his spin-based play.

Nowadays, Babolat split their rackets into three categories: the Pure Drive for power, the Pure Aero for spin, and the Pure Strike for control. Each series comes in a range of headsizes and weights to suit all ages, body types, and skill levels, with comfort-focused EVO editions available for players who prioritise fun and gradual improvement.
