Automobili Lamborghini and Babolat come together for a unique racket

The new shovel, which was created after a great team effort of about six months between the technical teams of Babolat and Automobili Lamborghini, It benefits from the French company’s expertise in racquet technology and sports performance at the same time, the experience of the Emilian car manufacturer in the production processes and the use of carbon fibers. A racket will be made for one a very limited series of only 50 examples and will be available in five different colors: auge yellow, viper green, livery orange, pasifae purple, gea green.

Model BL001, designed with this very rigid monocoque side chassis, improves the deformation of the impact area. Furthermore, the monocoque frame, which extends into the grip, allows the hand to be in direct contact with the frame, guaranteeing full control of the racket with complete comfort and at the same time providing exceptional power and speed of the ball. Like super strong threads, The materials used for this shovel come directly from those used in high-end sports cars.
