Comfort
Padel is first and foremost a game that you should be able to play without any worries. Babolat know that a stiff racquet can cause discomfort in the arms of some players. Therefore, our R&D team has worked to reduce the risk of injury. The new VIBRABSORB SYSTEM² technology, Powered by SMAC, provides optimal vibration dampening thanks to a combination of elastomers integrated into the carbon fibers at the core and the handle of the racquet.
Padel racquet safety strap
The Babolat padel racquets are fitted with a safety strap which is standardised and compulsory according to the regulations of the International Padel Federation.
Its role is to prevent a potential incident by holding the racquet should it involuntarily slip out of the player’s hand. The safety strap was designed exclusively for this function. Any other use, such as repeatedly dropping the racquet voluntarily during a rally, is likely to cause the premature deterioration of the strap which could lead to its separation from the handle.
