Babolat Counter Vertuo 25

The Babolat Counter Vertuo 25 is a padel racket designed for beginner to intermediate players who base their game on control, comfort, and forgiveness, with support to easily put pressure back from defense. This Vertuo model is the most accessible version in the Counter line and is aimed at players who want to play smart without a hard or demanding racket. The Counter Vertuo 25 is not a competition racket, nor is it a power-oriented finishing racket. It is a comfortable control racket, designed to limit errors and keep the game clear.

What type of player is this racket suitable for?

The Babolat Counter Vertuo 25 is particularly suitable for right-handed players at beginner to intermediate level who want to build their game from defense, rallies, and placement. Players who like to let the ball come to them and wait for the right moment to accelerate will get the most out of this racket. In addition, this racket is also suitable for left-handed players with a calm or all-round playing style, who do not depend on smash power but are looking for stability and control. The racket is suitable for both women and men.

Key features

The round to slightly hybrid shape provides a large and centrally located sweet spot, which offers a lot of control and forgiveness on less clean contact. The balance is medium, keeping the racket stable and easy to handle in defensive situations. The hitting surface is made of flexible materials (fiberglass) and has a soft feel. The blade is clearly not hard. This provides extra flex, longer ball contact time, and a larger sweet spot, with less direct power than the Veron and Viper variants. The core consists of soft EVA rubber, which effectively dampens vibrations and makes the racket arm-friendly. Comfort and playability are central to this model.

Playing feel and performance

On the court, the Babolat Counter Vertuo 25 feels comfortable, stable, and very forgiving. You can play rallies with ease and control, while the racket helps you return the ball easily and accurately. In defensive situations, the racket remains reliable and predictable, even with off-center contact. Offensively, you can increase the tempo with timing and technique, but the racket remains focused on control and consistency rather than brute power. This makes the Counter Vertuo 25 a logical choice for players looking for an accessible and arm-friendly control racket with a soft head and high playability within the Babolat range.
