Babolat Counter Viper 2025

The Babolat Counter Viper 2025 is designed for counter-attackers who like to absorb pressure and then regain the initiative. Its stability on impact and generous sweet spot provide security against low defenses and blocked volleys, while the firm construction unleashes crisp power as soon as you accelerate above the shoulder. The surface grip helps to flatten trajectories and vary spin. Ideal for turning the rallies around after a recovery, finishing with a controlled smash, and maintaining a steady pace at the net.
