The Technical Vertuo 2025 is a diamond-shaped attacking racket with a fiberglass face, a carbon frame and a stated weight of 355 g. That is lighter than its two Technical siblings at 365 g. On paper it gives you power, with less control and a small sweet spot. It is an advanced racket, so not a first one.
RBy Ruud Caris · facts checked 14 October 2026Choose it if
- you already play an attacking game and want a Babolat diamond that weighs less than the Viper and Veron
- you want a high-balance racket with a Medium comfort reading instead of the Low reading of the Viper
- you attack with a full, confident swing and accept a smaller sweet spot
Skip it if
- you are still learning the game and need a forgiving racket, because this advanced diamond asks for clean technique
- you want a diamond with a carbon face, because the Babolat Technical Viper 2025 uses 12K carbon
- you rely on defence and placement, since a Low control meter works against you
How it plays
Line = the average of all rackets ▲ above ▼ below
On paper this is a racket for players who attack, and its profile comes from the specs alone.
- Control The diamond shape and high balance pull control down, so you must place the ball with care.
- Power A diamond head with high balance gives a High power reading, even with the fiberglass face lowering it.
- Comfort The EVA core and fiberglass face lift comfort to Medium, and the retailer lists Vibrabsorb System for vibrations.
- Handling Diamond shape and high balance make it slower to swing.
- Forgiveness The diamond shape gives a small sweet spot, so off-centre hits cost you more.

Three Babolat diamonds share the 2025 Technical line, and the Vertuo is the one with a fiberglass face and the lowest weight. No review covers it yet. Everything below comes from the specs, and it reads as a prediction, not a test result.
Fiberglass where its siblings use carbon: what sets the Vertuo apart in the Technical line
The Vertuo has a carbon frame, a fiberglass face and an EVA core. The shape is a diamond with a high balance. Retailers list it as an advanced racket at 38 mm thick. The face is the main difference from the family.
The Technical Viper 2025 uses 12K carbon and an X-EVA core. The Technical Veron 2025 uses Carbon Flex, also with X-EVA. Both share the diamond shape, the high balance and the 38 mm thickness.
The comfort readings differ: the Vertuo reads Medium, the Viper reads Low and the Veron reads Medium. For the Vertuo, the EVA core and the fiberglass face both raise comfort. The face also lowers the power reading. The Vertuo is still a demanding shape, with Low readings for control and sweet spot.
355 g against 365 g: what the lighter weight means for an advanced attacker
The Vertuo is listed at 355 g. The Viper and the Veron are both listed at 365 g. Retailers give one figure for the Vertuo, not a range. A weight system is not published either.
A lighter racket may feel less tiring over a long match. That is an expectation from the numbers, not something a tester has reported.
Still, the maneuverability meter reads Low. Its drivers are the diamond shape and the high balance. Lighter than its siblings but still head-heavy: that is the combination you get here.
Easy power, says the retailer: the meters read High power and Low control
The product page on padelnuestro.com calls the racket suited to technical attackers and promises easy power, precision and comfort together. That is a marketing claim. The profile from the specs is more specific.
Power reads High. The diamond shape and the high balance raise it, and the fiberglass face lowers it. Control reads Low, and three of its four drivers pull it down: the face, the diamond shape and the balance. Only the EVA core lifts it.
So you get a racket that gives you pace on attacking shots, and asks for good technique in return. Precision will depend on you more than on the frame. The sweet spot also reads Low, driven by the diamond shape. Hits away from the centre will cost you.
The retailer also lists Vibrabsorb System, which the product page describes as improved vibration absorption. Take that as a claim until a tester says otherwise. Comfort at Medium is the most reasonable expectation.
Vertuo, Viper or Veron: choosing within one family
All three share shape, balance and thickness, so the choice comes down to face, core and weight.
- Vertuo: fiberglass face, EVA core, 355 g, comfort Medium, power High.
- Viper: 12K carbon face, X-EVA core, 365 g, comfort Low, power High.
- Veron: Carbon Flex face, X-EVA core, 365 g, comfort Medium, power High.
All three read Low for control, maneuverability and sweet spot. If your arm complains easily, approach the Viper with care. If you want the lowest weight in the family, that is the Vertuo.
Outside the family, look at the Kuikma Power Boost. Its profile meters are the same. It has an EVA core, a fiberglass face, a diamond shape and a high balance. It is listed at 360 g, with High power and Medium comfort. Compare the two if you want that kind of racket from a different brand.
A hidden Juan Lebron listing: what the line shows and what it does not
The Technical Vertuo line also contains a listing named Babolat TECHNICAL VERTUO JUAN LEBRON. It is marked hidden, has no year and has no specs attached. Nothing shows how it relates to the 2025 racket, so do not treat it as an earlier or later version. A name in a listing is only a name.
Missing numbers: balance in mm, head size and handle
Several numbers that matter are missing from the retailer data. The balance is only given as High, with no figure in mm. Head size, handle details and weight system are not published. No pro player is linked to the racket either.
That limits how precisely the specs can describe the racket. Treat the profile as a direction, and wait for a tester before you assume more.
