OUR READING
What the specs
mean on court
On the numbers, the Babolat Air Vertuo 2025 makes most sense for players with elbow or arm trouble. It is a weaker choice for beginners and intermediate right-side players.
A diamond head moves mass towards the tip. The smash and the vibora get easier; defending low balls and volleying off centre get harder. The softer core holds the ball longer and gives easy depth at slow swing speeds, at the cost of some precision on hard hits.
There is a newer version, the Babolat Air Vertuo 2026. This 2025 model is often the value buy once the new season arrives.
These scores assume the answers of a typical player of each type. The free racket finder scores it for your own answers, and the Padel AI app goes further: film one match and it scores your real technique, then re-ranks all 1,418 rackets for the way you actually play.

FAQ
Questions about the
Babolat Air Vertuo 2025
Is the Babolat Air Vertuo 2025 good for beginners?
No. Its diamond shape rules it out for a first racket in our engine. A round, soft racket forgives far more while your timing develops; see our beginner racket guide.
Is the Babolat Air Vertuo 2025 a power or a control racket?
It plays as a power racket. The diamond shape and medium balance put the sweet spot high on the face, which adds power on the smash.
How heavy is the Babolat Air Vertuo 2025?
The manufacturer lists it at 335 to 355 g. Most padel rackets sit between 350 and 375 g; this one is on the light side, quick at the net and easier on the arm.
Is the Babolat Air Vertuo 2025 good for tennis elbow?
For a player with arm trouble it scores 85 out of 98, good fit. The softer core absorbs more of the impact. See a physio if the pain persists.
How much does the Babolat Air Vertuo 2025 cost?
The recommended retail price is €180. UK shops usually sell below RRP, and the price drops further once the next season's model arrives.
