Who this racket is for

The Babolat X Lamborghini BL002 Black 2025 targets advanced players with consolidated technique who want more performance without yet moving to a pure competition racket. Its teardrop shape shifts the sweet spot slightly upwards, striking a balance between control and power. The medium balance keeps a balanced behaviour between baseline shots and volleys. The hard build favours explosive shots, especially bandeja and smash, but demands more technique. Its 360g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.

Just five thousand units for the entire world: the Babolat X Lamborghini BL002 Black 2025 arrives in a teardrop shape, with a 3K carbon face, 360g weight, 38mm frame and a Multi-Eva core reinforced with Koridion. It's the French brand's second collaboration with Automobili Lamborghini, following the Babolat X Lamborghini BL001, and it was designed entirely at the Babolat Padel Studio near Barcelona.

Koridion explained: the rigid foam between frame and rubber

Koridion is a patented foam placed between the frame and the EVA, developed with inspiration from the bonnets of Automobili Lamborghini cars. It absorbs the peak of impact and gives back energy in proportion to the speed you bring to the shot.

That behaviour is what drives the racket's other headline tech, Power On Demand. On a volley block or a dropshot, the ball dies short and obedient. On a flat smash with a full arm swing, that same zone compresses and releases an acceleration you don't feel coming mid-rally.

The dynamic range is wide, with one clear condition: you're the one who has to bring the speed.

What does the smooth 3K carbon face of the BL002 Black actually feel like?

The 3K carbon face flexes for an instant before checking the ball. It gives informative feedback on contact — you know right away whether you've caught the sweet spot or the upper oval — without the dead, dull response of a stiffer surface.

The face is smooth, with no added texture. Spin comes from racket angle and wrist speed, not grip from the finish. It shows most on the vibora and on a heavily cut bandeja: you need to work the technique yourself rather than expect the surface to bite for you.

Rounding out the build are the TopSheet TPU, the Twistweight system and TPS over a 38mm frame — the profile that keeps the whole racket rigid without adding weight to the head.

Shot by shot: where it dominates and where it costs you

Bandeja and vibora. Medium balance and surprisingly high maneuverability for 360g let you get the racket above the shoulder without lag. The bandeja comes out clean and directional; the vibora demands a fast wrist since the smooth finish adds no extra grip.

Third-shot smash and flat smash. This is where the Koridion earns its keep. Commit to real acceleration and the rebound is explosive, sending the ball into the back glass with enough pace to fly out of court. Smash at half power looking for placement, though, and the racket goes flat with no reward.

Defence and wall exits. The model's weak point. Ball exit is contained, so lobs from the back of the court demand real push from your legs and body. Read the wall well and get ahead of the ball, and the response is precise; arrive late and the ball comes up short, gifting the net to your opponents.

Volleys and net play. Firm blocking, crisp contact and strong control down tight sidelines. The dropshot is one of this padel racket's finest features — the Multi-Eva core absorbs pace and leaves the ball dead on landing.

What level of player is the Babolat X Lamborghini BL002 Black built for?

It's built for advanced and competitive players. The fixed 360g weight, the smooth 3K carbon face and a contained ball exit demand solid technique and a fast arm: it rewards players who generate their own racket speed and punishes anyone waiting for the racket to do the work.

The profile that suits this racket best:

Advanced-level players with a healthy shoulder and a long swing, smashing for the third shot and not just relying on the rebound.
Backhand or forehand, it doesn't matter — the all-round character and medium balance don't lock you into one side of the court.
Players coming from control-oriented rackets who want more depth without losing precision at the net.

It's not the right fit if you want a racket that forgives mistimed contact, or if you're stepping up from a beginner racket: the 360g-only weight takes its toll by the third set.

What you're really buying with a 5,000-unit edition

The BL002 Black is a short-run product with a black finish and yellow accents, where the Lamborghini branding is part of the design rather than a sticker slapped on top. That has a practical consequence: replacement stock won't behave like a permanent catalogue model, so it's worth factoring in if you play competitively and tend to go through a racket a season.

Verdict: power on demand, at a cost to your arm

The Babolat X Lamborghini BL002 Black 2025 is a well-balanced teardrop racket that plays like a control racket until you accelerate — and then it hits hard. The Koridion delivers on its promise, the maneuverability is surprising for the weight, and the 3K carbon feel gives clear feedback on every impact.

The two limitations are real and worth weighing: ball exit demands extra work of your own in defence, and the single 360g weight rules out anyone needing a lighter option. Players with a fast arm and established technique will find a racket with more range than its initial feel suggests.

Pros

✓The Koridion insert between frame and EVA stores energy and releases it on flat smashes with a full arm swing — the ball comes off faster than you'd expect mid-rally Very high maneuverability for a 360g racket: the teardrop shape with medium balance gets above the shoulder in time for chained bandejas and viboras The 3K carbon flexes for an instant before checking the ball and gives informative feedback on contact — you know immediately whether you've hit the sweet spot or caught the upper oval Power On Demand pays off in the short game: volley blocks and dropshots die short because the racket won't push the ball unless you generate the speed yourself The hybrid shape between round and diamond widens the usable zone versus a conventional narrow teardrop, with a 38mm frame that holds the rigidity together

Cons

✗Contained ball exit: on defensive lobs from the back and late wall exits you need to drive the shot with your body — the racket won't gift you depth One weight only, 360g, no lighter version: players in long matches or coming from lighter rackets will feel it in the upper arm over time Smooth carbon face with no added texture: spin on the vibora and heavily cut bandeja depends on angle and wrist snap, not grip from the finish Limited to 5,000 units worldwide, which means availability and mid-season replacement are a real consideration if you break it
