Babolat Counter Origin: Control racket for beginners learning the game from scratch

The Counter Origin is the ideal choice if you are just starting out in padel and need maximum control in your shots. This racket is easy to handle, comfortable to play with, and highly forgiving, making it easier to get off to a good start on court.

The Babolat Counter Origin is aimed at beginners and early intermediate players, especially those without prior experience from other racket sports. It is a control-oriented racket that gives you confidence and precision in your shots, helping you enjoy the game quickly and focus on developing your technique.

Head shape, weight, and balance

The racket has a round head shape, a head-light balance, and a weight of 355 grams (+/- 10 g). This provides a high degree of control and makes it easier to place the ball, while the weight distribution supports quick reactions and reduces strain on the arm.

Materials

The frame is built as a hybrid of carbon and fiberglass, offering a good balance between strength and flexibility. The surface is made of fiberglass, contributing to a soft and comfortable ball feel. The EVA core absorbs shocks and ensures a pleasant sensation with every shot.

Comparison with other rackets in the series

Compared to the Air Origin and Technical Origin, the Counter Origin is the most control-oriented padel racket in Babolat’s beginner collection. Its round head and low balance make it especially forgiving, which is a great advantage if you haven’t yet developed consistent ball control.
