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.

Usage advices

Instructions for use of your padel racquet safety strap

Our BABOLAT padel racquets are fitted with a safety strap which is standardised and compulsory according to the regulations of the International Padel Federation.
Its role is to prevent a potential incident by holding the racquet should it involuntarily slip out of the player’s hand.
The safety strap was designed exclusively for this function. Any other use, such as repeatedly dropping the racquet voluntarily during a rally, is likely to cause the premature deterioration of the strap which could lead to its separation from the handle.
