Yes! I just ordered the Viper Air 2025 yesterday! 2 years ago I walked past the Veron Air in my local sport shop and bought it because I was just starting to play. 10 rackets later (yes I like gear) I always come back to the Air model (but now the Viper) because there is something special about it. I think the X-EVA Foam has a lot to do with it to make sure both soft and hard hits feel controlled. But I also love the longer handle, and the fact that it is a "light diamond racket". If they can just tone down the visuals/design a bit....

Happy to see you doing some racket reviews again, Ewan!

When I started padel 4 years ago I've used your videos to decide on my first (2) rackets. They were spot on and loved them very much (Nox Equation and Nox AT10). Now I've moved on to the Siux Diablo and it's a perfect fit.

I bought the Air Viper last week, Ewan weighed all of the ones in stock and sent me the lightest one as per my request. It might not make much of a difference to some, but +/- 10g is a big delta to me, so it's nice to know before hand what's coming - thanks. p.s. My wife and I have had seven rackets from Ewan in the last six months, and it's because of the little details like weight sorting that we'll keep coming back.

Remember guys, it’s the rackets fault you’re bad not yours.

I have waited a long time for you to review babolat bats. I am a huge babolat fan especially coming from a tennis background but I now play padel, I’ve wondered what you thought of babolat bats and how they compare to other brands. This maybe biased but the viper air looked good for you 😂

[bucxhcn]

I usually play with the air viper but Spent the whole of last weekend testing the bullpadel hybrid and it was unreal!

[Timokint]

Can you also do a test/comparison of the Adidas metalbone 3.4 range. I’m curious for the actual differences in practice between The Carbon 3.4 and regular 3.4.. i’m now using The 3.3 Carbon.

Bought the Vertou Air 2025 today as my first ever racket

[kallestrom]

The counter viper is a round racket with high balance so it gives you good power

[bevis]

I’m undecided about my next racket and would like your opinion. Between the Nox 18K Genius 2025 and the Air Viper 2025, which one did you prefer for a left-side player?

[eberrodriguez]

As a former tennis player I can confirm the longer handle feels more natural. Switched over to Babolat and now I cant go back

[FreeFall]

A video for the Dunlop range of rackets would be great

[ssssssalva]

The longer handle is purely mental, the total length is exactly the same as any other racket really

Hi, im having difficulty to choose between the 2024 and 2025 COUNTER VIPER model as i have tried the 2024 and i liked it so much as the 2024 model had good control but still comfortable and not giving me pain in the arm. But i heard the 2025 model is slightly stiffer or maybe not? im from intermediate tennis, like to play slices, volley, and defend. Smash only if i find a good ball to finish. Please give me some thoughts on this 2025 model. Thank you so much - Rio

[jmrluna]

Hello sir, could you elaborate between air viper and air Vernon. I am an intermediate player

[baskara.aditama]

How can i not like this video when u are using the darkness as the background music 😂

[enrioray]

Everything padel and everyone, my name is Rio and im thinking to buy the counter viper 2024. Played relaxing game 1 set and i loved it. Its just that i heard some people experience some pain on their arms after using this racket? What's your thoughts.

Btw i came from intermediate tennis background.

Cheerio

How about the 2025 Juan LeBron white/red version? Is that different compared to all of these?

[ssssssalva]

how would you compare them with the bullpadel rackets aprox? what would be the equivalent of a vertex 04?

[thepadelpodcast]

I would really like to have you on my podcast, Ewan :)
