The Babolat Counter Viper 2.6 Padel Racket 2026 is a high-performance control racket for advanced players who absorb pressure, place the ball precisely and attack as soon as an opening appears.
Its round head provides a broad, control-oriented hitting zone, helping you stay accurate on blocks, lobs and defensive transitions. Unlike softer control rackets, the Counter Viper uses a 3K Carbon face and X-EVA core to create a firmer, highly responsive response when you accelerate, giving you the power needed to turn a defensive rally into a winner.
The 365g head-heavy setup adds stability and weight through contact, while 3D Spin+ helps the face grip the ball on slices. It rewards sound technique and is best suited to advanced or expert counter-strikers who want precision without sacrificing explosive finishing power.
