The Babolat Technical Veron 3.0 is five grams lighter than last year's Technical Veron, and its core is no longer the same material. Everything else about the idea stays familiar: a diamond-shaped, head-heavy carbon racket for players who attack.
The brand lists it as a play style, not a level. Its own player profile calls it a technical attacker. That fits the specs.
365 g to 360 g, X-EVA to Black EVA: what the 3.0 changed against the 2025
The 2025 Technical Veron weighed 365 g with an X-EVA core. The 3.0 weighs 360 g with Black EVA. The surface moved from Rough to 3D Finish. The balance label went from High to Head Heavy.
What did not change: the Carbon Flex face, the diamond shape and the 38 mm thickness. So this is a revision, not a new racket. Five grams is small. You will notice the core change more than the weight, if you notice anything. Be careful with the balance label, though. A different word on the sheet is not proof that the balance moved. For a direct look, use the comparison with the 2025 model.
Accessible power, says padel.how: a review that reads kinder than the meters
Only one source has tested this racket: padel.how. It gave 74 out of 100. It liked the power from medium swings and found centred volleys and overheads strong. It rated power and sweet spot as positive, and comfort and control as neutral. Its weak point was defence from low and late contacts.
That is a more generous picture than the meters. Those read Low for control, comfort and sweet spot. The gap makes sense. The meters mostly come from specs: a hard core and a diamond shape. The review describes a player who meets the ball in front and hits it cleanly. With one review, treat both as a pointer, not a ruling.
Power, control and explosiveness, says the product page: the meters answer Low on three counts
The product page promises power, control and explosiveness. It also says the Carbon Flex face mixes the strength of carbon with a more forgiving feel. Those are the brand's claims. The power part matches the specs and the review. The control part is harder to back up. A diamond head with a hard core is rarely the most controlled choice, and the meters agree.
The soft face does help comfort a little. It does not cancel the hard core.
360 g and 270 mm in a diamond head: what the heavy head asks of your arm
The weight is 360 g, and the balance is 270 mm according to a retailer. Babolat itself calls it Head Heavy. Together they push mass toward the tip. That is where the easy power on smashes and volleys comes from.
There is a cost. A head-heavy racket takes more effort to swing in quick exchanges and in defence. That fits padel.how's note about low, late balls. Not a racket for rushed shots.
If your elbow or shoulder already complains, be careful. The Vibrabsorb System is listed by the brand as the anti-vibration feature. No source here measures how well it works. Shorter, earlier swings are the practical fix.
Technical Veron 3.0, Veron Juan Lebron 3.0 and Technical Viper Soft 3.0: sorting the names
The names are confusing. The Technical Veron 3.0 is this racket. The Veron Juan Lebrón 3.0 is a separate listing with the same published specs: 360 g, Black EVA, Carbon Flex, diamond, 38 mm. A further Juan Lebron listing is hidden and has no specs. Do not assume anything about it.
The Technical Viper Soft 3.0 is another diamond with a Black EVA core, but it weighs 365 g and has a Soft Carbon face. Its meters read the same as this racket. The Technical Viper 3.0 is heavier still at 370 g with a Hard EVA core.
Gaps in the published sheet: head surface, handle and weight system
The brand does not publish the head surface, the handle details or a weight system. The frame is listed as carbon. The 3D Finish surface comes from a retailer, not the brand. If any of these matter to you, check them in a shop before you commit.
