Precision and Power, by Babolat
With the Counter Viper 2025, Babolat continues to push the boundaries between technology and performance, offering a racket that’s as elegant as it is formidably effective.
This 2025 edition immediately catches the eye with its vibrant design, blending geometric patterns with an electric yellow color scheme.
Its round shape, combined with a low balance point, is ideal for precise, controlled shots, even under pressure.
The frame is made of 3K carbon fiber, ensuring the racket’s durability and flexibility. With a medium density, it guarantees excellent power transfer while maintaining enough flexibility for optimal playing comfort.
At the heart of the racket, the multi-density X EVA foam adjusts each shot to the ball’s speed, allowing for great versatility while reducing errors.
When it comes to spin, the 3D texturing on the surface optimizes ball grip, allowing you to generate precise and powerful spin.
The pattern of holes, featuring a variety of sizes, expands the sweet spot, making the Counter Viper even more forgiving on off-center hits.
The slightly elongated grip provides a better hold, ideal for two-handed shots, while the interchangeable wrist strap—both hygienic and customizable—allows you to tailor the racket to your style.
Finally, to protect your joints, Babolat has integrated an advanced anti-vibration system directly into the heart of the racket. This feature significantly reduces impacts and vibrations, ensuring lasting comfort during play.
Technologies integrated into the Babolat Counter Viper 2025 padel racket:
Holes Pattern System
This is the renowned technology developed by Babolat that determines the distribution and, most importantly, the size of the holes. The goal? To optimize these elements for each Padel racket in order to improve power transfer and shot accuracy
The core of the racket consists of a sandwich of three different layers of EVA. The outer layers, which are stiffer, provide increased explosiveness on powerful shots, while the inner layer offers greater forgiveness thanks to its flexibility on slower shots.
3D Spin+
The combination of numerous raised patterns on the racket’s surface with a textured finish gives the ball more spin while providing better control.
3K Carbon
Featuring a 3K carbon frame, this material is durable and provides excellent power transfer. Thanks to this medium-density carbon, you’ll be able to hit precise shots without risking elbow strain.
Smart Buttcap
With both customization and hygiene in mind, Babolat has made it possible to change the wrist strap in just a few seconds... Pretty clever, right?
Vibrasorb System²
An anti-vibration system located at the core of the racket that reduces the transmission of impact vibrations to the elbow for greater comfort during play.
