Hello. Im currently playing with the Babolat Juan Lebron Viper 2025. In general, i like dry touch, hard diamond rackets as they suit my game more.

Recently i’ve noticed the JL Viper takes a toll on my elbow and arm after a long competitive session increasing possible injury risks.

Im looking to switch to a diamond racket that has similar power but is a tad bit softer and not the dead wooden plank that the JL viper is. Ideally, i’d prefer a hard, dry touch with a little responsiveness from the racket itself but not too much trampoline effect. My two options so far are;

1. Siux Fenix Pro 2026
2. Adidas Metalbone 3.5 2026 (not the HRD)

I play on the left side and consider myself somewhat aggressive with smashes and viboras.

Let me know your thoughts on the better choice!
