Test programme:
We invite you to try the Babolat Counter Viper 2.6 2026 padel racket. This test model lets you play with the racket before buying it. What better way to find out whether it’s the perfect fit for your game?
This service is available for a fee of 20 euros (with no additional delivery or return charges in mainland France), subject to a deposit equal to the retail price of the new racket.
Test programme terms and conditions:
1) You can test a maximum of two rackets per test session, for a period of 7 days*.
2) The cost per test racket is €20. Delivery and return postage are included in this amount. You will only need to pay the security deposit, equal to the retail price of a new racket. The €20 service fee will be deducted before the deposit is refunded.
3) The price shown (equal to the retail price of a new racket) is A SECURITY DEPOSIT. It will be refunded, less €20 for the cost of the service, once the test racket has been returned to our warehouse in the same condition and by the agreed date.
No refund will be granted in the event of an unreported delayed return.
Please note : paying the deposit for a test racket does not, under any circumstances, mean that the racket belongs to you.
Please note : we reserve the right to withhold your deposit if the racket is returned to us broken or in poor condition**.
4) For your first order, please email us the following supporting documents: a copy of your identity document and proof of address, at contact@esprit-padel-shop.com with the subject line DOCUMENTS - TEST PROGRAMME - SURNAME - FIRST NAME***.
5) Have your racket delivered directly to your home or to the collection point of your choice. Please note that additional charges may apply for delivery outside mainland France.
6) You will find the return label in your parcel to attach to the parcel. We ask you to take particular care when packaging the racket so that it reaches us in the best possible condition.
7) If you do not return the test racket, we will send you a formal notice asking you to resolve the matter. If the racket is not returned to us by the agreed deadline, we will retain your security deposit, which corresponds to the price of a new racket.
* Excluding transit time
** Please note that to allow us to assess the condition of the racket, photos will be taken and kept before dispatch, and will be compared with the returned product.
