Best for advanced attackers who want heavy finishing power with a little more rebound and margin than the hard Viper, but who prepare early.
A heavy-hitting diamond for advanced and strong intermediate attackers who find the standard Viper too harsh. It keeps the head-heavy Viper punch on overheads, bandejas and viboras, while a softer face and core add pace and a little more margin. Handling is the cost, so it suits players who prepare early and attack, not passive defenders.
Very high, just a notch below the hard Viper. The diamond shape and head-heavy balance put real weight behind overheads, bandejas and viboras, and the softer face gives useful pace even at medium swing speed.
Good rather than precise. Volleys come out firm and stable, and the softer response makes lobs and resets from the back of the court more realistic than on the hard version. Late or rushed contact still costs direction.
The weakest area. The head arrives slowly, so late preparation at the net is punished and low defensive pickups need early footwork. It is slightly lighter than the hard version, which helps a little over a long match.

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 correctionWider than on the hard Viper but still selective. The best hits come from the upper, central part of the face, and low or wide contacts lose depth and direction.
Gentler than the standard Viper, with less vibration, but not plush. Impact stays medium-hard and direct, and testers disagree: some praise the reduced shock, while others say long matches still load the forearm and shoulder.
