Description & Specifications

The Babolat Counter Viper 2.6 (2026) padel racket is designed for counter-striking players who prioritize precision, control, and stability while also demanding explosive power on attacks. It features a round head shape and a balance point at 270 mm, providing a larger sweet spot and greater inertia on shots. The outer surface is made of rigid 3K Carbon, while the frame is constructed from carbon fiber to maintain structural stiffness. Inside, it features the multilayer X-EVA core for improved response on both fast and slow impacts. Weighing 365 g and measuring 38 mm in thickness, it incorporates specialized technologies to increase spin and reduce vibration, making it a solid choice for strategic play.

Basic Features

  • Player Type: Counter Striker (counterattacking, precision & control).
  • Head Shape: Round for an expanded sweet spot.
  • Surface Material: 3K Carbon for high stiffness and precision.
  • Frame Material: Carbon for increased structural strength.
  • Core: X-EVA (multilayer EVA structure).
  • Weight: 365 g (±10 g).
  • Thickness: 38 mm.
  • Balance Point: 270 mm.
  • Recommended Grip: Syntec Evo.

Construction Structure & Materials

The Babolat Counter Viper 2.6 features a 3K Carbon outer surface, providing a stiff feel that transfers the impact energy directly to the ball. The carbon frame resists twisting during intense rallies. The X-EVA core combines higher-density outer layers for explosive power on hard shots with a softer inner layer that provides comfort and forgiveness on slower shots.

Geometry & Playing Performance

The round head shape provides an enlarged sweet spot, making it easier to control the ball in defensive play and counterattacks. The 365 g weight, combined with a balance point of 270 mm (towards the head), provides the inertia needed to generate power, allowing players to turn defense into an attacking shot with stability.

Integrated Technologies

The racket features 3D Spin+ technology, which combines a textured surface to enhance friction and generate spin. The Holes Pattern System optimizes the layout and size of the holes according to the racket’s geometry for increased power transfer and precision. In addition, the Vibrabsorb System 2 absorbs vibrations on impact, protecting the muscles and joints in the arm.

Balance Point
270 mm

Balance Point

Refers to the balance point measured from the base (mm), that is, the distance from the bottom of the handle to the point where the racket balances. 

  • Low balance point (approximately 250–260 mm): More weight towards the handle. The racket is usually more maneuverable and easier to handle quickly. 
  • Medium balance point (approximately 260–270 mm): A balance between maneuverability and power. Usually a versatile choice for different playing styles.
  • High balance point (approximately 270–285+ mm): More weight towards the head. Can provide greater power for attacking shots, but is usually less maneuverable.
