The Babolat Veron Juan Lebrón 3.1 is a 360 g diamond racket with a high balance and a Black EVA core. On paper it is built for attack: power is high, everything else reads low. Against the 3.0 only two labels changed. No reviews exist yet, so this is a read of the specs, not a court test.

- you are coming from the Veron Juan Lebrón 3.0 and expect a clearly different racket
How it plays
Line = the average of all rackets ▲ above ▼ below
On paper this is a one-purpose racket: attack first, forgiveness a distant second.
- Control Low, because the diamond shape and the high balance make precise placement harder to achieve.
- Power High, as the hard Black EVA core, the diamond shape and the high balance all push in that direction.
- Comfort Low, since the hard core and the high balance outweigh the softer Carbon Flex face.
- Handling Low, as the weight sits toward the head and the diamond shape adds to that.
- Forgiveness Low, so off-centre hits will cost you more than on a rounder racket.

Only two things differ from the 3.0. The balance label went from Head Heavy to High, and the surface from 3D Spin to 3D. Core, face, shape, pro player and the 360 g weight are the same. Thickness, frame, handle and weight system are not published for the 3.1. The 3.0 level is unknown, so level cannot be compared. These are changed labels, not measured changes. If you want to know more, look at the 3.0 first.

Two labels changed between the Veron Juan Lebrón 3.0 and this 3.1: the balance and the surface name. Core, face, shape, pro player and weight are the same, down to the 360 g.
Head Heavy became High, Spin became plain 3D: what a changed label proves
The 3.0 lists a Head Heavy balance and a 3D Spin surface. The 3.1 lists High and 3D. Is that a new racket or a new wording? The specs cannot tell you. The two labels may describe the same balance. A changed label is a changed label. It is not a measured change.
The source of the 3.0 labels is not stated. No balance figure in mm is published for either racket. So you cannot say the balance moved.
Same Black EVA, same Carbon Flex, same 360 g: what the 3.1 inherits from the 3.0
The core is Black EVA on both. The face is Carbon Flex on both. The shape is diamond on both. Juan Lebrón is the linked pro on both. Weight is 360 g on both, minimum and maximum alike.
That is a lot of overlap. If you liked the 3.0, the Veron Juan Lebrón 3.0 is the obvious thing to check. If you disliked it, nothing here suggests the 3.1 fixes it.
Power High, everything else Low: what a diamond with a high balance asks of you
The meters are blunt. Power is high. Control, comfort, maneuverability and sweet spot are all low. Each one has a clear reason in the specs.
The diamond shape raises power and lowers control, maneuverability and sweet spot. The high balance raises power and lowers control and maneuverability. The Black EVA core is hard, which adds power but takes away comfort and sweet spot.
What does that mean for you? Not a racket that helps you. A racket that rewards a clean swing. You need to hit the ball in the middle, early and with intent. Late or off-centre shots will punish you. The listed level is intermediate to advanced, and the specs back that up.
The weight is 360 g. That is a solid figure, and with a high balance the head will carry much of it.
Power and comfort, says the shop page: where the claim and the meters part
The product page says the racket adds power without giving up comfort. It credits the Carbon Flex face, a mix of carbon and fiberglass, and the Black EVA core. It also mentions a Dynamic Stability System aimed at stability.
These are claims from a shop page. The comfort meter reads low. The Carbon Flex face helps, but the hard core and the high balance pull the other way. So treat the comfort promise with care. Until players report back, assume a firm racket.
The attacking intent, though, matches the specs. Both the page and the meters agree on that.
Next to the Joma APPT and the Wilson Defy V1 SE: three diamonds with the same meter pattern
The Joma APPT is also a high-balance diamond with a Black EVA core. It is listed one level higher, as Advanced / Professional. Its weight is 355 to 360 g.
The Wilson Defy V1 SE is also a high-balance diamond. It is listed as advanced and weighs 365 g. It has a 3K carbon face and a high-density Power Foam core.
All three show the same meter pattern. The differences lie in weight, level label, face and core. At 360 g the Babolat sits between the Joma's 355 g minimum and the Wilson's 365 g.
Not published: balance in mm, thickness, handle, any court test
Several things are missing. There is no balance in mm, no thickness for the 3.1, and no frame or handle detail. No reviewer has published a court test either. Everything above comes from specs, so read it as a likely profile, not a proven one.

Questions before you buy
Is the Veron Juan Lebrón 3.1 different from the 3.0?
On paper, barely. Only the balance label and the surface name changed. Core, face, shape and the 360 g weight are the same.
Is it a racket for beginners?
No. It is listed for intermediate and advanced players, and the specs point to low control and a small sweet spot.
Is it comfortable for the arm?
The comfort meter reads low. The Black EVA core is hard and the balance is high. The product page claims comfort, but no reviewer has tested it.
How does it compare with the Wilson Defy V1 SE?
Both are high-balance diamonds with the same meter pattern. The Wilson weighs 365 g and the Babolat 360 g. Neither has a court test in the sources.

Compare side by side →Who should not buy it?
Skip it if you rely on placement and long rallies (control 3.0/10), or if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 4.0/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (3.0/10).
How heavy is it really?
The brand gives 360 g. That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range.
