Explosive • Control focused • Comfortable
The Babolat Viper Juan LeBron 3.0 Green 2026 is the green colourway of Lebron's Viper 3.0. It is technically the same racket as the standard version: only the colouring differs, with identical specifications and playing feel. It remains the most powerful diamond in Babolat's range: a head-heavy shape with a carbon face and multi-density X-EVA core, built for brute smash power and sharp finishing at the net. Weight is around 362–380g with high balance. It targets experienced attacking players with clean technique. PADEL CHAPTER has not physically tested it: specifications were verified through the manufacturer and retailers, and the playing profile follows the consensus of independent reviews and our review of the standard version.
The Babolat Viper Juan LeBron 3.0 Green 2026 is a diamond with high balance, weight 362–380g and a 38mm profile. Face: carbon (Carbon Fiber + 3D Relief). Core: X-EVA (multi-density). Frame: carbon. The only difference from the standard version is its green colouring. Indicative price around €300.
Technologies:
- Carbon face (Carbon Fiber + 3D Relief) for a direct, explosive response
- X-EVA multi-density core for targeted power transfer
- 3D Spin+ texture for grip on bandejas and víboras
- Vibrabsorb System 2 and Dynamic Stability System for damping and stability
The head-heavy diamond with high balance and a carbon face delivers brute power: considerable smash force and sharp finishing at the net. The multi-density X-EVA core directs that power into the ball.
It is a demanding, hard racket. The sweetspot is small and there is little help in defence: clean technique, full swings and physical ability are required.
For experienced attacking players with clean technique seeking maximum power and finishing ability. Players wanting more control and a larger sweetspot should choose a teardrop or round shape.
Nothing technical: Green is the same diamond with the same specifications and playing feel, only in green colouring. For softer contact, look at Viper Soft.
The indicative price is around €300, equal to the standard version. Exact prices vary by retailer and stock.

Demands clean technique and physical ability; not for beginners
What you will notice as a player
The smash gets plenty of easy power; you do not need a full follow-through to put the ball away.
A balanced racket that responds predictably in most situations.
The racket offers little help in defense; returning balls off the glass takes considerable effort.
At the net you react a little more slowly: the weight sits forward, so quick adjustments take more effort.
Which shots are affected most?
| Situation | What will you notice? |
|---|---|
| Defense | Little help: you must guide balls off the glass and keep them deep yourself. |
| Volley | Comfortable and stable; aiming is easy and you keep the ball low. |
| Bandeja | Very easy to control: the ball stays low and predictable, ideal for controlling the court. |
| Vibora | Enough bite for a quick brushing shot with some acceleration of your own. |
| Smash | Its strongest point: maximum power with little effort, sending the ball away like a rocket. |
| Block | The forward weight makes quick blocks more demanding than with an agile racket. |
| Off-center ball | Reasonably forgiving: outside the sweet spot you lose some speed, while accuracy is largely maintained. |
