Babolat Contact

Babolat Contact — A versatile padel racket that balances power, control, and manoeuvrability

Engineered for beginner / intermediate players, this Babolat Contact 2021 is profiled as an all-court-oriented tool within the modern padel racket landscape

Its round mould keeps the balance closer to the handle, enlarging the sweet spot and making direction changes easier during long exchanges. The low balance supports transitions between attack and defence. At 355-365 gr, the frame sits in a range that suits players who value both swing speed and stability

The construction pairs 12K Carbon faces, a X-EVA core, a Carbon Frame frame so energy transfers efficiently without sacrificing the stability needed on blocks and volleys. A softer touch absorbs more vibration and helps maintain comfort during extended matches
