Counter Viper 2026 Padel Racket

Babolat Counter Viper 2026 – Patience is your weapon, the counter your victory
Are you the player who wears down the opponent, fending off every smash and striking with surgical precision at the perfect moment? The Counter Viper 2026 was developed precisely for this type of player – the "Counter Striker". It combines enormous fault tolerance with the explosive power you need to go from defense directly to scoring.

The evolution of counterplay:
In the 2026 version, Babolat has further optimized stability. Thanks to the 3K carbon hitting surface and the special head shape, this racket offers an exceptionally large sweet spot. What this means for you: even balls that you don't hit perfectly in the center will maintain their length and precision.

Highlights:

• Extreme explosiveness: The X-EVA core (three different layers) provides maximum power on hard shots, while the softer inner layer offers more comfort on slower balls.
• Maximum fault tolerance: The hybrid, rather round shape offers a gigantic hitting surface – perfect for fending off difficult attacks and controlling the game.
• 3D Spin+ Technology: The combination of relief structure and rough surface gives your balls maximum spin and makes your opponent despair at your slices.
• Vibrabsorb System²: Developed in collaboration with SMAC, vibrations in the shaft and core are drastically reduced, minimizing the risk of tennis elbow problems.
• Smart Buttcap: As is usual with the modern Babolat line, you can easily remove, wash or replace the wrist strap.
