Babolat Padel 2024 Collection
This year, Babolat has once again come out with a stunning new collection of padel rackets. Just like in 2023, Babolat has introduced three different lines this year, namely:
- The Air line, designed for players who like to dominate the opponent from all sides of the court.
- The Counter line, designed for players who want to patiently dominate the game and draw the point or the attacking position to themselves with the perfect ball.
- The Technical line, designed for more technical players who want to win points from all sides with a smash.
Each line features different types of rackets: Vertuo, Veron, and Viper. The Viper rackets are the most durable due to the carbon in the racket surface. Carbon is more durable than fiberglass, which is used for the surface of the Vertuo rackets. For the Veron rackets, a combination of fiberglass and carbon is used, providing more comfort.

Brand Story Babolat
Babolat began as a family business and its first venture into the sports world in 1875, when tennis and badminton were still in their infancy. The Lyon-based brand owed its early success and expertise to a raw material - natural gut - from which the first tennis racket strings were made. It then became a leader in racket sports equipment - frames, strings, shoes, apparel, balls, grips, accessories, and bags - and technical equipment for racket sports professionals. Building on its tradition of innovation to support players and the game, Babolat rose in the ranks as the choice of champions playing at the world's most prestigious badminton, tennis, and padel competitions.
After using sheep gut and then cow gut, Babolat begins working on a sustainable alternative to meet the demand for finer strings and higher tension from the first tennis champions. Taking over the business from his father, Albert created the benchmark VS in 1925. A natural, revolutionary string, made famous by the French tennis "Musketeers" (Jean Borotra, Jacques Brugnon, René Lacoste, and Henri Cochet) and Suzanne Lenglen. Almost a century later, the VS remains a global benchmark in the world of racket sports, with more than 100 Grand Slam tournaments won by champions equipped with Babolat VS strings.
