The Jet family: an obsession with lightness
When you choose a Babolat Jet, you're choosing a side: the side of speed. These shoes are the result of constant research to reduce weight without sacrificing the support essential for tennis. The collaboration with Michelin for the soles guarantees optimized durability at minimal weight, while the upper and cushioning technologies are designed for constant dynamism. But between the Mach and the Tere, how do you choose?
Babolat Jet Mach: uncompromising performance
The Jet Mach is the most advanced model in the range. It's the shoe for competitive players who demand the best of Babolat technology for speed. Its main difference lies in its Matryx EVO fabric upper, a patented technology that weaves Kevlar and polyamide threads to provide exceptional lateral support in an ultra-lightweight and durable design. It's a shoe that combines lightness, support, and robustness for the most demanding players.
Babolat Jet Tere: Affordable lightness
The Jet Tere focuses on one thing: being the lightest and most comfortable shoe possible. "Tere" means "speed" in Maori, and the shoe lives up to its promise. Its breathable mesh upper maximizes ventilation and creates a feeling of oneness with the foot. Less reinforced than the Mach, it offers incredible flexibility and ease of movement in return. It's the perfect shoe for club players who want to experience the benefits of an ultra-lightweight shoe at an excellent price.

Our expert's opinion: "Two philosophies of speed"
"The Mach and the Tere should really be seen as two different options. The Jet Mach is the speed shoe for the competitive player. The support provided by the Matryx sole is astonishing for such a low weight. You feel secure and confident attacking every point. The Jet Tere is pure enjoyment. You slip it on and feel like you're walking on air; it's incredibly light. For a player who doesn't move with extreme intensity but still wants agility, it's a fantastic and very smart choice."

Frequently asked questions about the Babolat Jet range
Which of the two shoes is more durable?
The Jet Mach is significantly more durable thanks to its reinforced Matryx upper and its overall design intended for intensive competition.
Are Jet shoes stable enough?
These are speed shoes; their primary purpose isn't maximum stability like a Babolat Propulse or an Asics Resolution. However, they offer excellent support for agile players with good footwork.
