Who this racket is for
The Babolat Counter Vertuo 2025 suits intermediate players who already have a technical base and want to progress without jumping to a too-demanding paddle. Its teardrop shape shifts the sweet spot slightly upwards, striking a balance between control and power. The medium balance keeps a balanced behaviour between baseline shots and volleys. The soft hardness provides feel and helps ball exit for players with slower swing speed. With a weight of 340-360g, it sits among the lighter rackets on the market: easier to swing and less stressful on the elbow.
Pros
- ✓Exceptionally wide, permissive sweet spot — highly forgiving on off-centre hits
