[IN-STORE ONLY] Babolat Counter Viper 2.6 Padel Racket - Yellow

The Babolat Counter Viper 2.6 (150177) is the attacking end of Babolat’s Counter family – a 3K carbon padel racket for counter-strikers who want precise placement first and real power close behind. The round head keeps the sweet spot generous and central, while the stiffer 3K carbon face and X-EVA core add the bite needed to finish a point rather than just extend it.

Note: This product is available for in-store purchase only.

Key Features

• 3K carbon face – a tight carbon weave that returns energy sharply for firm drives and decisive smashes.
• X-EVA core – a responsive rubber core that keeps ball feel precise while adding pace.
• Round head shape – a central, forgiving sweet spot that supports accuracy under pressure at the net.
• Vibrabsorb System² – elastomers woven into the carbon fibres reduce vibration for comfort in a stiff frame.
• 3D Spin+ – a raised surface pattern for stronger grip on the ball and heavier spin.
• Holes Pattern System – hole distribution optimised to channel impact force for precision.
• Smart Buttcap – a customisable wrist-strap system for a secure hold on aggressive swings.

Performance Overview

At 365 g with a 270 mm balance and a 38 mm profile, the Counter Viper 2.6 is a full-bodied frame that still swings cleanly. The 3K carbon surface gives noticeably more feedback and pop than a fibreglass face, so the ball leaves quickly on flat drives and overheads, while the round head keeps the tolerance a diamond frame would trade away.

It is strongest in fast exchanges and tight angles. The X-EVA core and stiff face let you take pace off an opponent’s ball and redirect it with intent, turning defence into attack in a single shot. Expect a firmer, more demanding feel than the Veron, which rewards clean contact.

• Sharp placement paired with real attacking pace when you need it.
• Consistent accuracy at match speed with fewer mis-hits than a diamond-shaped frame.
• Vibration control that keeps a stiff carbon face comfortable over long matches.
• 3D Spin+ texture for heavier topspin and more effective cut smashes.
