Babolat Counter Vertuo 2.6
The Babolat Counter Vertuo 2.6 is a padel racket designed for beginners to intermediate players who base their game on control, comfort, and forgiveness. This model is part of the Counter line and is aimed at players who like to build up the point, control the tempo, and wait for the right opportunity to strike.
The Counter Vertuo 2.6 is not a power racket, nor is it a technical competition racket. It is an accessible, control-oriented racket that helps you play more consistently and make fewer mistakes, without placing high demands on technique or swing speed.
What type of player is this racket suitable for?
The Babolat Counter Vertuo 2.6 is particularly suitable for right-handed players at beginner to intermediate level who want to organize their game from a calm position. Players who play a lot of rallies, work with lobs and placement, will get the most out of this racket.
This racket is also suitable for recreational left-handed players who do not play purely for power, but prefer to rely on ball feel and control. This model is less suitable for advanced or very aggressive players.
Key features
The round shape provides a low and centrally placed sweet spot, offering maximum control and a large margin for error. The balance is low to medium, keeping the racket maneuverable and easy to handle in defensive situations.
The hitting surface is made of fiberglass (Soft Fiber) and has a soft feel. The blade is clearly not hard and offers a lot of ball contact time and comfort. This increases the sweet spot and makes the racket arm-friendly, but provides little direct power.
The core consists of soft EVA foam, which effectively dampens vibrations and enhances the comfortable character of the racket. This keeps the racket comfortable to play with during longer playing sessions.
Playing feel and performance
On the court, the Babolat Counter Vertuo 2.6 feels comfortable, stable, and very forgiving. In defensive situations, you can play with a lot of calm and control. When attacking, the speed mainly depends on the player's technique.
This makes the Counter Vertuo 2.6 a logical choice for beginners to intermediate players who prioritize control, comfort, and game development and are looking for a reliable racket to further develop their padel game within the Babolat range.
