Who this racket is for
The babolat counter vertuo 2.6 suits intermediate players who already have a technical base and want to progress without jumping to a too-demanding paddle. Its round shape concentrates the sweet spot in the center of the face, increasing tolerance and favouring control. With a low balance, it gains maneuverability and quick response at the net. The soft hardness provides feel and helps ball exit for players with slower swing speed. With a weight of 350g, it sits among the lighter rackets on the market: easier to swing and less stressful on the elbow.
