The Babolat Counter Vertuo 2.6 2026 is designed for players who want to defend well, stay consistent, and turn defence into attack. It’s aimed at beginner and intermediate players who want a racket that feels easy and forgiving — especially in real match situations where you’re stretched, rushed, or defending lots of pressure.
With its round shape, the Counter Vertuo offers a generous sweet spot and strong control, helping you keep the ball in play and place shots with confidence. It feels particularly good on defensive shots, blocks, and resets — the racket stays steady and doesn’t feel unpredictable when the pace goes up.
The Vertuo construction is all about comfort and “easy power”. The softer face material and EVA-style core help generate ball output without the racket feeling harsh, making it a great option for long sessions and players who want something arm-friendly. It also supports controlled spin and stability on volleys, so you can step forward and counter attack when the chance comes.
Overall, the Babolat Counter Vertuo 2.6 2026 is a brilliant choice if you want maximum forgiveness, a comfortable touch, and a racket that supports a smart, patient style of padel.

The expert's thoughts..
The Babolat Counter Vertuo 2.6 2026 is a great racket if your game is based on control, consistency, and staying solid under pressure. It’s round-shaped with a big sweet spot, so it feels really forgiving when you’re defending deep, blocking hard volleys, or just trying to reset a point. Even when you don’t catch the ball perfectly, it stays stable and keeps the ball in play.
The biggest difference vs the Viper/Veron models is the feel — the Vertuo is softer and easier to use. The fibreglass-style face gives you “easy power” without needing full swings, and it’s much more comfortable over long sessions. It’s ideal for beginners to intermediate players, or anyone who wants a racket that makes padel feel smooth and stress-free while still letting you counter attack when the ball sits up.
