Babolat Counter Viper 2.6

Introducing the Babolat Counter Viper 2.6, the newest addition to the Viper line and one of the most precise Padel Rackets in the Babolat range. Designed for the strategic counter-striking player who values precision and consistency above all else, this racket combines exceptional control with the explosive power needed to convert defense into decisive attacks.

With a heritage stretching back to 1875, Babolat continues to push boundaries in Padel equipment innovation. The Counter Viper 2.6 features a round head shape that provides a generous sweet spot and outstanding stability on every stroke. Paired with a head-heavy balance, this combination allows counter-strikers to absorb powerful shots from opponents with confidence while generating enough weight behind the ball to transition from defense to offence seamlessly.

At the core of this Padel Racket is the X-EVA multi-layer rubber technology, a construction that pairs two stiffer exterior layers with a softer interior layer. The denser outer layers deliver explosiveness on strong shots when you choose to attack, while the flexible inner layer ensures comfort and forgiveness during extended rallies from the back of the court. This balanced core construction means you never have to sacrifice control for power or vice versa.

The hitting surface of the Counter Viper 2.6 is crafted from 3K carbon fibre, a woven carbon that provides maximum responsiveness and precision on every impact. The full carbon frame ensures structural integrity and long-lasting durability through the most demanding matches. Babolat have also integrated the Vibrabsorb System² powered by SMAC Technology, an advanced anti-vibration system that uses a combination of elastomers within the carbon fibres at the heart of the racket and foam in the core to significantly reduce vibrations, protecting your arm and enhancing comfort during intense play.

On the surface you will find the 3D Spin+ technology, combining raised textured patterns with a rough finish that enables you to generate exceptional spin on the Padel Ball. The Holes Pattern System optimises the distribution and sizing of drilled holes specifically for the round head shape, improving power transmission and increasing precision on every return. Completing the design is the Smart Buttcap, a versatile system that allows you to customise or completely remove the wrist strap for convenience and hygiene.

If you are a strategic player who thrives on controlling the pace of the game from the baseline, waiting for the perfect moment to counterattack with devastating accuracy, then the Babolat Counter Viper 2.6 is the ultimate weapon for your style of play.
