Our impression
The Counter Vertuo is designed with comfort in mind for counter-attacking players from the baseline: a Black EVA core and a soft fibreglass face with 3D Spin texture are damped further by Babolat's Vibrabsorb system (SMAC elastomer). Tests confirm an excellent sweet spot and very high manoeuvrability: a racket that forgives mistakes and protects the arm.
At 350 g, it is lighter than three quarters of all models in our comparison: quick to handle and easy on the arm, but more of the power in attack has to come from your own swing. Head shape Round means: a large, central sweet spot – lots of control and forgiveness, little power of its own; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The soft core takes the sting out of the ball and is the gentler choice for sensitive arms. With power 5 and control 8 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
Compared with the 2025 Babolat Counter Vertuo, weight, balance and core hardness are unchanged; the older model year is currently €11 more expensive. With a forgiveness rating of 9.2 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 73% of the round models in our comparison. Of the 2 versions of the Babolat Counter Vertuo in our comparison, this is the cheapest (€98.95).
Who is the Babolat Counter Vertuo 2026 for?
