Babolat Counter Viper 2.6 specifications

Who is the Counter Viper 2.6 for?

For players who want the control of a round racket without giving up a powerful ball output. Babolat does not state a specific level for this model; its hard-medium feel suits players who already have some technique. If you want more comfort with the same shape and weight, the Counter Veron 2.6 is gentler.

Strengths

• Control with power: a round shape with 3K carbon and an X-EVA core, more responsive than the Counter Veron.
• Spin: a rough 3D Spin+ surface.
• Comfort: Vibrabsorb System² anti-vibration, powered by SMAC.

Things to consider

• Its hard-medium feel is less forgiving than the Counter Veron 2.6.
• At 365 g and head-heavy, it is not a light racket.
