Babolat Counter Viper 2.5 -

The Babolat Counter Viper 2.5 is the ideal solution for patient padel players seeking the perfect balance between control and defensive precision, while still having enough power to counterattack when the opportunity arises. This updated 2025 model builds on the series’ success and features a head-heavy balance that makes it easier to generate speed in your shots.

One of the most exciting upgrades in the 2.5 model is its new sandpaper-like surface!

Its hybrid head shape offers the perfect middle ground between control and all-round performance, making it the most control-oriented racket in the Viper range — yet still packing more power than most traditional control rackets, making it ideal for players who want versatility.

The surface is made from 3K carbon fibers, striking the perfect balance between power and flexibility. Babolat’s 3D Spin technology enhances ball grip and spin, while the Vibrasorb system reduces vibrations and protects your arm during play. The replaceable wrist strap allows you to swap or remove it to suit your preference.

The Counter Viper, like the rest of the Viper series, stands apart from the Vertuo and Veron ranges thanks to its pure carbon surface and triple-layer EVA core. This construction makes the Viper series the most powerful and precise in Babolat’s lineup — but it also requires clean, consistent ball contact to unlock its full potential.

With its 365 g weight, the Counter Viper 2.5 provides the skilled, patient player with both precision and power, allowing you to control rallies and quickly switch from defense to offense.
