Babolat Lamborghini White 2026

Technologies

Pros

• ✓The 38 mm diamond shape with a head-heavy balance piles mass into the head, so your remate por 3 and flat smash rocket off the frame without needing to max out your swing speed The KORIDION foam stiffens the frame without adding weight, so a cut vibora holds its line even when you catch the ball off-centre toward the tip The firm Multi-Eva core snaps the energy back fast: on attacking volleys and deep bandejas the ball comes out flat and with real carry, none of that cushioned feel that forgives but robs you of depth The 3K carbon face with TPU TopSheet gives you enough bite to slice the ball on a x3 and whip up high-bouncing kicks Power On Demand tracks arm speed well: play it at half throttle and it's easy-going, push harder and it genuinely ramps up power instead of maxing out on you

Cons

• ✗That head-heavy balance punishes you on defence: arrive late to a low ball off the back wall and the head-heavy feel leaves your block falling short of the net

Babolat Lamborghini White 2026 review: the 38 mm diamond racket that smashes like a V12

The Babolat Lamborghini White 2026 — the BL003 — is the third racket born from the collaboration between Babolat and Automobili Lamborghini, released on 5 February 2026 as a limited edition. Diamond shape, head-heavy balance, 38 mm frame, 3K carbon face and Multi-Eva core. This is a power racket for advanced players, and it makes no attempt to hide what it is.

It follows the 2024 BL001 and the BL002, so we're talking about an established lineup here, not a one-off marketing exercise with a sports-car sticker slapped on.

What level of player is this Babolat racket for?

This is built for advanced or competitive players with an established swing. The diamond shape, head-heavy balance and firm EVA combo demand your own arm speed — the racket won't manufacture pace for you, it multiplies what you already generate. If your game revolves around blocking, chiquita shots and waiting for the opponent's error, this padel racket is going to feel like overkill in every sense.

The trade-off is clear: plenty of power, control that's decently high for a diamond, but ball exit that sits squarely in the middle of the pack. That last point is the real filter. With a passive arm — an emergency lob, a scrambling defensive shot — the ball won't fly out on its own.

KORIDION and 3K carbon: what each material brings to the table

The core is Multi-Eva, and it's worth being upfront about this: the inside of the racket is EVA rubber, nothing else. KORIDION is a structural reinforcement technology applied to the frame, derived from materials Lamborghini uses in its vehicles. Its job here is specific: stiffen the structure without piling on grams. A 38 mm frame that doesn't flex on impact returns more energy and, crucially, holds its line when contact is off-centre.

The 3K carbon face uses a relatively open weave. Compared with tighter-weave carbons, 3K flexes a touch more on the hitting plane and feels less harsh than its structural stiffness would suggest. On top sits the TPU TopSheet, which supplies the bite on the ball.

The Multi-Eva core responds firmly and snaps energy back fast. This isn't a rubber that hugs the ball — it compresses little and releases quickly. That's what gives you the tight sweet spot, and it's also why the ball comes off flat and carries once you commit to the shot. Every bit of ball-exit feel you notice traces back to that EVA, not to the frame reinforcement.

Power On Demand is the commercial name for the progressive feel: at moderate intensity the racket stays playable rather than turning into a brick, and it scales up when you push it. The TPS (Thermoformed Padel Surface) rounds out the finish on the hitting plane.

Shot by shot: how it plays

Remate por 3 and flat smash. This is its home turf. Head-heavy weighting plus the stiffened 38 mm frame mean your swing translates almost entirely into ball speed. You don't need to swing at 100% for the remate por 3 to clear the court.

Vibora and bandeja. The cut vibora holds a firm line — the rigid frame kills the lateral torque that softer rackets let creep in on the slice. The deep bandeja comes out flat with good carry, though threading a really fine one means following through — the rubber doesn't forgive a lazy swing.

Volleys. On attack, excellent — the ball leaves fast and low. On the block, solid but demanding. In fast exchanges at close range to the net, the head-heavy balance forces you to prepare earlier than you might be used to if you're coming from a round-shaped frame.

Defence and wall exits. This is where the racket asks for payment. Comfortable, unhurried wall exits come off without a hitch. Low, rushed ones cost you — the head-heavy feel drags and your lob falls short. It has reasonable tolerance for its category, but defence isn't really its brief.

Chiquita and kick serves. The TPU TopSheet grips enough to slice the ball on a x3 and to whip up high-bouncing kicks.

Three quick questions about the Babolat Lamborghini White 2026

1. **Is this a control racket?** No. Its identity is unmistakable: power. What control it offers is high *for a diamond*, not in absolute terms.
2. **Does it suit an intermediate player?** With caveats. An intermediate with solid smash technique can enjoy it; one still learning to build points from the back will get frustrated on defence.
3. **Is this purely a collector's edition?** The run is limited, and the tie-in with Automobili Lamborghini is real at the materials level, not just cosmetic — the frame's KORIDION technology comes straight from that partnership.

Player profile and ideal partner

This suits a net player, forehand or backhand side, who closes out points up top and accepts they'll miss the occasional defensive shot in exchange for hitting harder. If you're the one stepping in to finish while your partner builds the point, this is your tool.

The ideal partner plays a complementary style: someone with a more versatile or control-oriented racket who can hold up in long rallies and feed you high balls. Two head-heavy diamonds on the same court is a fun formula — and a statistically costly one.

Verdict

The Babolat Lamborghini White 2026 does exactly what its silhouette promises: it hits hard, holds its line on aggressive shots, and punishes sloppy defence. The KORIDION work in the frame solves the classic rigid-diamond problem — the frame opening up on off-centre hits — without adding weight, while the Multi-Eva handles the response at contact.

Its limits are honest and predictable: demanding ball exit, a tight sweet spot, and maneuverability that rewards anticipation. None of that is a manufacturing flaw — it's the price of admission for this category.

If you're after a racket that hands you free depth when you're scrambling, this isn't it. If you're after one that never comes up short when you're the one dictating play, it's firmly in the conversation.
