Babolat Counter Viper 2024 is here! The new Counter Viper, like its predecessors, is focused on giving the patient player the control and precision needed to stand strong in defense and win the point when the opportunity arises.

In the 2024 edition, Babolat has built on the success of the previous seasons of the Counter Viper series. The weight balance is still head-heavy with the idea that it should be easier to create speed in the shot and counterattack the opponent. Babolat describes the main shape of the racket as "hybrid", which places it between a control and an all-round racket. As such, it is the most controlled racket in the Viper series, but compared to many other pure control rackets from other brands, you can expect more power with the Counter Viper.

To give you optimal contact with the ball, the surface is made of 3K carbon fiber and Babolat's 3D Spin technology. Another great feature of the racket is that as the wrist strap wears out, it can be replaced or removed as needed. In addition, the Vibrasorb system helps reduce vibrations in the racket so that your impact arm is put under as little strain as possible.

Compared to Babolat's Vertuo and Veron collections, the Viper rackets are the only ones with a pure carbon surface and 3 different layers of EVA foam in the core. This makes the Viper series the most powerful and precise in the range, but it also places higher demands on consistently hitting the ball well if you want to get the most out of it.

Technologies Applied in the Babolat Counter Viper 2024

Holes Pattern System

Optimized placement and size of the holes based on the specific racket head shape to increase the power transmission and accuracy of the stroke.

X EVA

The core is designed as a sandwich construction of 3 different layers of EVA foam. The two outer layers are stiffer for extra power, while the inner layer is softer to provide more tolerance and comfort in those shots where you take the speed off the ball.

Woven Carbon

The surface is woven from carbon fibres to give you maximum power and precision.

3D Spin

The small textures in the surface combined with a rough finish provide even better control and grip of the ball.

Vibrasorb System

This technology covers a new elastomer material in graphite, which is integrated into the heart of the racket. The technology reduces the vibrations of the stroke and thus the risk of injury.

Smart Buttcap

New concept that allows you to adjust the size of the wrist strap or remove it completely.

3 Tips on How to Extend the Lifespan of Your Padel Racket

Use a frame protector

Apply a frame protector to your racket to minimize damage from hits against the glass walls or the fence. This simple addition can significantly extend the lifespan of your racket by protecting it from knocks and scratches.

Avoid extreme temperatures

Store your racket in a room with stable temperatures. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or a cold garage, as extreme temperatures can weaken the materials and affect the racket’s performance over time.

Transport your racket safely

Always keep your racket in a bag or a cover to protect it from scratches, dirt, and knocks. This is especially important when traveling or storing the racket between games, as proper storage reduces wear and tear.

3 Tips on How to Get the Most Out of Your Padel Racket

Choose the right racket for your level and style

Pick a racket that suits your playing level and preferred style of play. Beginners might benefit from a racket with a larger sweetspot, while advanced players often prefer a more precise or powerful racket tailored to their game.

Replace your overgrip regularly

Changing the overgrip frequently keeps your racket feeling fresh and ensures a firm, comfortable grip. Worn-out grips can lead to slipping and strain on your hand during play.

Upgrade your racket when needed

Over time, the foam in the core of the racket loses its performance, resulting in reduced power and control. If you’ve used the same racket for several seasons or notice a drop in performance, consider investing in a new one to maintain your game at its best.
