Babolat Counter Viper 2.6 2026

The Babolat Counter Viper is a padel racquet designed for counter-striking players who want precision as the primary benefit, supplemented by extreme power because of its 3K carbon construction.

This racquet has a round shape, head-heavy balance and advanced technologies such as 3D Spin+ to enhance spin, the Holes Pattern System to optimize hole distribution, and the Vibrabsorb System 2 to reduce vibrations.

The professional players on the Babolat Team may play with a customized or a different model of the existing equipment.

BENEFITS

PRECISION

Great precision with maximum intensity, thanks to the combination of its carbon surface and its X-EVA technology, and its rounder shape with the largest sweet spot you will discover a precision never experienced before. Make the difference and beat your opponents.

HIGH RESPONSIVENESS

Thanks to the 3K carbon construction and the X-EVA rubber core, the racquet provides excellent responsiveness with maximum power.

COMFORT

Padel is first and foremost a game that you should be able to play without any worries. We know that a stiff racquet can cause discomfort in the arms of some players. Therefore, our R&D team has worked to reduce the risk of injury. The new VIBRABSORB SYSTEM² technology, Powered by SMAC, provides optimal vibration dampening thanks to a combination of elastomers integrated into the carbon fibers at the core and the handle of the racquet.

3K CARBON

Woven carbon fiber used on the surface of the racquet to give you maximum explosiveness and precision. The number denotes slight rigidity differences: 3K>12K>16K.

SMART BUTTCAP

A versatile system that allows players to customize strap size or completely remove the wrist strap.

VIBRABSORB SYSTEM²

Powered by SMAC technology, this system allows optimal vibration absorption thanks to a combination of elastomers integrated into the carbon fibers at the heart of the racquet. It also includes FOAM in the core of the racquet and/or elastomers in the handle providing optimal shock absorption.

Holes Pattern System (HPS)

Optimized distribution and size of holes specific to each racquet shape optimizes power transmission and increases precision when returning shots.

3D SPIN+

Raised patterns on the racquet surface combined with a rough finishing allows you to hit with more spin and increases your control.

X-EVA

Sandwich construction of the core with three different EVA layers adapted to each racquet increases explosiveness on strong shots thanks to the two stiffer exterior layers, while providing more forgiveness and comfort from the flexible inside layer on softer shots.
