Collection note: This is the Technical Viper Soft currently purchasable on babolat.com/es. A Technical Viper Soft 3.1 page is already live (recorded separately) but carries no price. core.value is set to medium because the page states "goma EVA de dureza media"; the description also calls it "núcleo de goma EVA más blando" (softer, relative to the standard Technical Viper). Tipología de jugador: Atacante Técnico. Source is the Spanish Babolat site (babolat.com/es). The page prints no model year and no level, only a player type ("Tipología de jugador"). Weight is the published nominal weight plus and minus 10 g. Balance is given as a word only, no mm figure on the ES page.
