Babolat Men's Play Short
The Babolat Men's Play Short is a lightweight men's racket-sport short designed for comfortable movement during training and competition. Made from 100% recycled polyester with natural elasticity, the fabric allows players to move freely around the court. An adjustable elastic waistband provides a secure fit, while two deep side pockets offer practical tennis ball storage. The regular fit and 18 cm inseam create a versatile on-court cut suitable for tennis, padel, badminton and other racket sports.

Staff Pro Review
These are a strong everyday option for club players who want straightforward performance without an overly fitted cut. The 18 cm inseam gives good coverage while retaining plenty of mobility, and the naturally elastic recycled polyester works particularly well for quick directional changes. We also like the deep pockets, which are genuinely useful for carrying spare balls during matches and practice sessions.
