The Babolat × Lamborghini BL003 Blue 2026 is the most advanced padel racket born from one of sport's most extraordinary collaborations — the third chapter of a partnership between two global icons of precision engineering. Fewer than a few hundred units exist worldwide. Each one is hand-crafted at the Babolat Padel Studio in Spain, ships in an exclusive presentation box with an authenticity card, and incorporates materials borrowed directly from Lamborghini's automotive manufacturing. This is not a racket with a logo. It is a performance object built at the intersection of two worlds that share the same obsession: making something that moves faster, responds cleaner, and lasts longer than anything that came before.

The BL series — third chapter

The BL001 (2024) was produced inside the Lamborghini factory itself — a concept piece for collectors priced above €5,000. The BL002 (2025) stepped onto the court with a diamond shape and improved playability. The BL003 (2026) is the most refined edition yet: lighter, more manoeuvrable, and redesigned with a teardrop hybrid shape that brings the explosive power of the collaboration within reach of serious advanced players who want to actually play with it — not just display it. For the first time, the BL series delivers both collector status and genuine daily match performance in the same frame.

Engineered for precision, power, and comfort on demand

The BL003's teardrop shape and medium-high balance place the sweet spot above centre — generating head-heavy leverage on overheads and finishing volleys while remaining manoeuvrable enough for fast net exchanges and reactive defensive contacts. The Koridion-reinforced frame provides extraordinary torsional stability on hard contacts; the 3K carbon face delivers crisp, direct responsiveness; and the TPS thermoplastic surface layer softens the feel at impact — a combination that reviewers at the Babolat Padel Studio in Madrid described as "soft yet still powerful." This racket responds immediately to pace. Put rhythm into your shots and it rewards you with clean, authoritative ball output. Slow it down and the Multi-EVA core keeps the feel comfortable and controlled.

Materials & exclusive technologies

• 3K Carbon face — a rigid, high-density woven carbon hitting surface that delivers explosive responsiveness, stability, and precision on every contact. Fast ball output on pace shots; connected, controlled feel on touch shots.
• Koridion frame reinforcement — a patented foam-based material used by Lamborghini in the construction of its supercar carbon structures. Extraordinarily stiff and lightweight, it encases the core and outer frame to maximise structural stability, improve power transfer, and provide a lively, elastic response on impact that standard carbon foam cannot replicate. This is the material that makes the BL003 unique.
• TPS — Thermoplastic Protection System (ABS/TPU coating) — a thermoplastic surface coating applied over the hitting face, borrowed from ski manufacturing technology. Provides a softer, more comfortable feel at impact; adds a high-gloss, automotive-grade finish; and protects the carbon surface from scuffs, scrapes, and wear over time — extending the racket's lifespan significantly compared to uncoated carbon.
• Multi-EVA triple-density core — a sandwich construction of three different EVA layers: two stiffer outer layers that generate explosive ball response on powerful shots, and a softer inner layer that absorbs energy and provides forgiveness and comfort on slower, off-centre contacts. The result is a racket that performs at different intensities — powerful when you need it, comfortable when you don't.
• Twistweight technology — weight distributed specifically to the sides of the frame, increasing rotational inertia and stability on off-centre contacts. Reduces twisting on mis-hits, keeps trajectory consistent, and improves control under pressure at the net.
• Isometric face geometry — a square-edged head geometry that centres and enlarges the sweet spot, maximising precision and control across the full face of the racket. Combined with a centralised hole pattern that leaves more material around the edges for added frame stability.
• Precision drilling pattern — all drilling concentrated in the centre of the face, leaving unperforated carbon around the edges. Strengthens the frame perimeter, improves torsional resistance, and contributes to the BL003's distinctive authoritative feel on firm contacts.
• Carbon frame (100%) — full carbon monocoque construction providing maximum structural rigidity and durability throughout the racket's lifespan, even under intensive competitive use.

The Blue colourway

The BL003 Blue is finished in a deep Lamborghini-inspired blue — a colour drawn directly from the Automobili Lamborghini palette and applied with the same high-gloss automotive paint process used on the brand's supercars. Under court lights it is unmistakable: rich, deep, and precise. The BL003 also comes in White — see our BL003 White listing for the alternative colourway.
