Made to offer the ultimate in precision, The Babolat Counter Viper 2.5 is designed for the player with patience who likes to control the game, waiting for the perfect moment to counterstrike.

Babolat mentions that this Padel Racket is made for the player they call a Counter Striker. This is a patient player who is always looking for an opportunity to counterattack. This player receives and returns the opponent’s balls relentlessly, exhausting them until the opportunity presents itself to move up the net and punish the Padel Ball. If this sounds like your playing style then this is the racket for you.

The core of this racket boasts an X-EVA technology which is a sandwich construction that consists of 3 layers of EVA Foam with varying densities. The most dense outer layers provide precision and explosive power, while the softer center provides comfort and forgiveness. This has been further developed to offer greater comfort in your shots. This is also where the new Vibrasorb System technology, powered by SMAC, comes in. Made with an elastomer material, seamlessly integrated into the racket’s construction allowing you to not only play with more comfort but also play with more freedom knowing there are substantially reduced vibrations through the racket. To compliment all the above features, Babolat has included an ultra-high quality 3K carbon fiber face material that has been chosen to increase the feel you have on the hitting surface as well as generate the explosive power needed to attack when the chance presents itself.

But that is not all that’s on offer, we also have Babolat’s 3D Spin+ technology which consists of the raised patterns on the racket surface and a rough textured finish, allowing you to hit with higher levels of spin and increased levels of control. And if that’s not enough, this racket boasts a specifically developed Holes Pattern system with optimised distribution and sizing of the holes in each racket, optimised not only for power transmission and increased precision but also for this hybrid shape. Lastly, we have to talk about the smart butt cap that has been introduced, allowing players to completely remove their wristband and replace it altogether or simply wash it and reinstall it with ease thereafter, we see this as a must-have feature nowadays.

Offering all that’s needed for a counter striker to control the game until the very last moment, the Babolat Counter Viper 2.5 Padel Racket is a true masterpiece.
