Babolat Counter Viper 2.5 is the optimal solution for the patient padel player who seeks the ideal balance between control and precision in defense, while still having enough power to counterattack when the opportunity arises.
This updated 2025 model builds on the success of the series and offers a head-heavy weight distribution, making it easier to generate speed in your shots.
Another really exciting new feature of the 2.5 model is the sandpaper-like surface!
The racket's hybrid head shape balances control and all-round properties, making it the most control-oriented racket in the Viper series. At the same time, it offers more power than many traditional control rackets, making it ideal for players who want versatility.
The surface of the Counter Viper 2.5 is made from 3K carbon fibers, providing the perfect combination of power and flexibility. Babolats 3D Spin technology ensures you have optimal grip and spin when hitting the ball, while the Vibrasorb system reduces vibrations, thereby protecting your arm during play. The racket also features a convenient interchangeable wrist strap that can be replaced or removed as needed.
The Counter Viper stands out from the Vertuo and Veron series by having a pure carbon surface and a core with three layers of EVA foam. This combination makes the Viper series the most powerful and precise in Babolats range. However, it requires you to strike the ball accurately and consistently to get the most out of the racket.
With a weight of 365 grams, the Babolat Counter Viper 2.5 offers the technically skilled and patient player both precision and power, allowing you to dominate the game and easily transition from defense to attack.
