Technical Analysis
Shape and Balance
This racket comes with a diamond shape, clearly focused on attacking play. The balance is high, so the head has a noticeable presence in the swing.
That gives extra punch on overheads, volleys, and smashes, where the racket really comes alive. On the flip side, this higher balance demands good preparation on defense and can feel demanding in quick exchanges near the body.
Players used to round or teardrop rackets may need a short adjustment period. Once adapted, the racket feels very stable and solid through contact, especially on shots hit well in front of the body.
Frame, Faces, and Core
- Frame: Carbon fiber
- Faces: Carbon Flex (mix of carbon fiber and fiberglass)
- Core: Black EVA
The carbon fiber frame adds rigidity and stability. On powerful hits, the racket does not twist easily, even against heavy balls from opponents.
The Carbon Flex faces are one of the keys to its character. The carbon gives firmness and punch, while the fiberglass adds a bit of elasticity and comfort. The feel ends up medium: firm enough to be aggressive, but not excessively stiff or harsh.
The Black EVA core has a reactive behavior. At medium and high speeds it loads the ball with good exit, while in softer touches it allows decent control. It is not a “cushy” core, but it does not feel like a stone either. Players who like a clear and defined impact will feel at home.
Grip
The handle follows the usual Babolat standards, with a comfortable and secure grip. It does not feel excessively thick, which helps to work the wrist in víboras, bandejas, and lifted volleys.
Those who like to play with two hands on the backhand will appreciate the grip length, which gives some extra leverage on that side. With a good overgrip, the grip adapts well to most hand sizes and stays stable during intense rallies.
Comfort
For an offensive diamond-shaped racket, the comfort level is surprisingly acceptable. The Carbon Flex and the Black EVA provide a bit of cushioning, especially on centered shots.
Off-center hits, though, can feel a bit more vibrant and less forgiving. This is typical on this kind of power-oriented frame. Players with arm issues might want to pair it with a soft overgrip and a control-oriented string setup in their game to compensate a bit.
It is not the most plush racket on the market, but for the performance it delivers in attack, the comfort is quite reasonable.
Sensations in Play
Fondo de pista (Back of the court)
From the back, the racket offers a medium feel with a clear offensive bias. The high balance makes it a bit more demanding on blocks and emergency lobs. Quick reaction shots with little preparation ask for good technique.
However, the sweet spot is generous for a diamond shape. Once the ball meets that area, control and feedback are very satisfying. The Black EVA responds nicely to medium and high intensity swings: you can push the ball deep with a compact, firm stroke.
On slow-paced rallies and defensive lobs, the racket asks you to be precise with your movement and timing. It does not play for you, but when the technique is there, you get clean, deep balls without needing crazy effort.
Players who like to counterattack aggressively from the back will appreciate how easily the racket switches from a defensive block to a flat or topspin drive that already puts pressure on the opponent.
En la red (At the net)
At the net, the Veron 3.0 Lebron shows its real character. The high balance helps a lot in injecting speed into the ball with short, compact strokes.
On volleys, the racket lets you accelerate the head quickly and give the ball weight with little backswing. The contact is direct and precise, which benefits aggressive volleys, especially the flat ones, directed to the feet or to the glass.
In bandejas and víboras, the combination of diamond shape and Carbon Flex offers very interesting sensations. You can generate good spin and depth, and the ball comes out with a penetrating trajectory, especially when you hit in front and with a full swing.
Where it can feel slightly demanding is in fast net duels close to the body. The high balance requires a bit more effort to reposition the head. Players with very fast hands might need some matches to fully adapt and get the timing fully tuned.
En el remate (Smash)
This is clearly one of its strongest areas.
The diamond shape, the high balance, and the firm structure help a lot on flat and topspin smashes. You do not need a perfect pro-level technique to send the ball out by three or to bring it back to your side with the right swing and positioning.
On flat overheads, the ball flies strong and deep even on medium-height balls. On higher balls, the racket almost “invites” you to go for the winner.
On kick smashes, the Black EVA plus the Carbon Flex help you grab the ball a bit and generate spin. With good wrist action and clean contact, you can get that bounce that jumps off the glass or goes out by four quite often.
Players who build their game around the smash will feel very comfortable and confident using this mold.
