In shortA powerful, head-heavy diamond that most players enjoy for overheads and volleys, with a firm feel despite the name. Some find it demanding, and a few report paint flaking or the frame breaking. Several say it is easier to handle than the regular Lebrón Viper.

Calls the LeBron Viper 3.0 Soft a great, lovely racket: very powerful and medium hard rather than soft, with more absorbing carbon than the regular version, though the paint chips easily.
“Great racket. The paint chips easily but it's lovely to play with. Very powerful, it isn't 'soft', I'd say it's medium hard”
