Babolat Counter Vertuo 2.6 – Precision, Comfort & Effortless Control

The Babolat Counter Vertuo 2.6 is crafted for players who prioritise precision, comfort, and intelligent point construction. Whether you’re defending, counter-attacking, or building rallies from the back, this racket gives you the confidence to control every shot with stability and feel.

Precision Where You Need It

With its round head shape and large sweet spot, the Counter Vertuo 2.6 delivers outstanding control and consistent ball response. The carefully designed hole pattern system optimises energy distribution, helping you place shots exactly where you want them, even under pressure.

Comfort-Focused Feel

Built with a flexible Soft Fiber surface and a responsive Black EVA core, this racket reduces hard vibrations and provides a forgiving impact feel. The Vibrabsorb System powered by SMAC significantly dampens vibrations, minimising strain and keeping your arm comfortable during long rallies and sessions.

Accessible Power & Ball Release

The softer fibreglass face helps generate power naturally, requiring less effort on every swing. This makes the Counter Vertuo 2.6 ideal for tactical players who prefer to let placement and ball control dictate play rather than brute force.

Featuring Babolat’s Smart Buttcap system, you can adjust or remove the wrist strap for a personalised grip and feel that suits your style.
