A Spanish-made racket using Varlion's exclusive Bourne shape, blending diamond power with teardrop balance. A carbon and fiberglass layup with a medium EVA core and aerodynamic drilling targets advanced players wanting power-leaning versatility.

The Varlion Bourne Summum Carbon 2025 uses the brand's exclusive Bourne head shape, which Varlion positions as combining the power of a diamond with the balance of a teardrop for a roughly power-leaning, versatile profile. Handcrafted in Spain, it layers carbon and fiberglass over a medium-hardness EVA core, with each layer treated in Varlion's VAR-FLEX resin and a titanium dioxide coating for durability. Aerodynamic drilling reduces turbulence to strengthen the core and widen the sweet spot, while the Summum handle is extended for extra leverage and power on smashes. It suits advanced players who want an attacking-capable racket that still retains balance and control, and who value a distinctive, well-built frame from one of padel's heritage brands.
