BABOLAT Counter Viper 2025 Padel Racket
£225.00
If you’re a player who prefers precision over brute force, the Babolat Counter Viper 2025 is made to fit your game. It’s smooth, controlled, and tweaks points with grace—but still delivers when you decide to smash. A perfect racket if you like out-thinking your opponent rather than overpowering them.

The Babolat Counter Viper 2.5 2025 excels as a control-based powerhouse for the smart, tactical player. With its round (hybrid) shape and balanced feel, it offers stability and a generous sweet spot that makes every decisive movement feel clean and confident.
Built around X-EVA multi-density foam, the core combines soft inner layers with stiffer outer layers to deliver both comfort and explosive power on demand. Meanwhile, the 3K carbon surface ensures a firm, responsive hit with plenty of feedback in your hand.
On top of that, Babolat’s Vibrabsorb System² (developed with SMAC) reduces vibration for longer, less tiring play sessions; the 3D Spin+ texture adds bite on control and slice shots, and the Smart Buttcap lets you adjust (or remove) the wrist strap to suit how you swing.

The expert's thoughts..
The Babolat Counter Viper 2025 is one of those rackets you pick up and instantly feel in control of. It’s properly solid without being stiff, and the big sweet spot makes a huge difference when you’re stretched or defending tight angles. From the back of the court, it gives you that calm, stable feeling — the ball comes off clean, and you can place your shots exactly where you want them without having to swing like a maniac.
What surprised me is how well it holds up when you step forward. It’s not a pure power racket, but there’s definitely enough punch when you go after the ball. At the net it stays quick in the hand, and you never feel like it’s too heavy or slow to react with. Overall, it’s a brilliant option if you like to build points, defend well, and pick your moments to attack. Just a really honest, reliable racket that suits a smart, all-round style of play.
