The Babolat x Lamborghini BL002 Black results from an unexpected collaboration between the Italian sports car manufacturer and the French racket brand. First impressions suggest a racket that mainly justifies its 520 euro price through exclusive looks and a technical setup prioritising stability and control. Its hybrid shape and relatively high 360 gram weight indicate a focus on players with a firm technical foundation who want to control the pace of rallies.
The BL002 Black has a hybrid shape intended to enlarge the hitting area without losing the direct diamond feel. At 360 grams, it is on the heavier side, promising stability while also requiring an active playing style. Medium balance keeps weight reasonably central, making manoeuvring at the net possible.
The 38 millimetre profile is neutral and points to a balance between power and control. Its 3K carbon face combines stiffness with a reasonably responsive feel. The Koridion core is a foam Babolat uses elsewhere in its leading models, known for a relatively hard, direct character.
The carbon frame contributes to overall stiffness and durability. Materials and weight suggest a racket aimed at players who generate their own power and particularly value placement and timing.
What you will notice as a player
The racket helps in defense: a calm swing sends balls off the glass deep again.
A balanced racket that responds predictably in most situations.
No pronounced weakness, but no single shot where the racket particularly stands out either.
Which shots are affected most?
| Situation | What will you notice? |
|---|---|
| Defense | Plenty of help: the low balance and generous sweet spot return balls off the glass calmly and deep. |
| 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 | Enough power, but you still need to put considerable effort into the swing. |
| Block | Stable: the racket is ready in time and returns the ball with control. |
| Off-center ball | Reasonably forgiving: outside the sweet spot you lose some speed, while accuracy is largely maintained. |
