The Babolat XPLR is designed for players moving beyond beginner gear, offering a versatile mix of control and spin with a clean, modern look. Its 13 mm honeycomb core keeps the paddle light and maneuverable, while the new spray grit surface gives the ball more bite than the smooth laser print face it replaces.

This textured finish helps you shape shots with spin and improves touch at the kitchen, making the XPLR easy to trust whether you're dinking, blocking, or driving from the baseline. The standard 5-inch handle and thin grip keep it comfortable and quick through exchanges, while the refreshed black-and-blue cosmetic ties it into the rest of Babolat's performance line.

Best For: Developing players who want an affordable, control-oriented paddle with upgraded spin and a modern design.
