Best for advanced all-court players who want stable, easy power and can justify a collector's price; not for beginners.
A premium, numbered-edition racket for strong intermediate and advanced all-court players who want stable, easy power and real overhead authority. It is the second Babolat and Lamborghini collaboration, and the 2026 orange and bronze colourways keep the original black and green build. It is not for beginners or anyone who wants a soft touch, and it costs roughly 600 to 750 in local currency, a collector's premium.
Power is the headline: smashes and viboras leave the face with a firm, direct response, and depth comes easily even from defensive positions. The 360 g weight and long handle help overheads carry through the court, though it stops short of the hardest rackets in Babolat's range at full force.
Good rather than razor sharp. Blocks and lobs stay composed when the face is set early, but the rebound is lively, so a big follow-through on a fast volley can send the ball long. The smooth face adds little spin and soft touch shots take a relaxed hand.

Specs come from the maker and the reviews we read, and makers revise them between batches. If a weight, balance or material is off, tell us and we will fix the racket page.
Suggest a correctionManageable rather than quick. With a balance of 265 to 270 mm and a long handle, the head feels present, fast net exchanges need early preparation, and a late swing tires the arm over a long match. It still moves more easily than a 370 g power frame.
Medium-sized and sitting slightly high, so centred and upper-central hits keep their depth while low or lateral contact loses speed and can twist the face. Reviewers disagree on how generous it is, and on the outline itself, calling it round, hybrid, diamond or water-drop, so we leave the shape open.
Good for a carbon racket, but not soft. A rigid foam reinforcement around the 3K carbon frame, a medium-density multi-layer EVA core and a thermoplastic layer over the face trim the sharpest vibration, while lateral mishits still feel firm.
