Video overview
The Babolat Counter Vertuo 2.6 is a control racket for intermediate players who want a large sweet spot, easy power and all-day comfort.
- Shape: Round, so the sweet spot is big and central. Off-centre hits stay in play, giving you control and forgiveness.
- Level: Suits intermediate players.
- Face: Fiberglass, softer and more comfortable on impact. The right choice while you develop.
- Balance: Medium, an even feel between quickness in hand and punch on the ball.
- Weight: 345-360g, light enough to swing all session without tiring your arm.
- Surface: A rough finish grips the ball, making slice and topspin easier to add.
- Standout: The extended handle gives you extra leverage on overhead smashes without needing a bigger swing or two hands.
- Value: Soft fiberglass and vibration damping make this a step up in comfort and consistency as your rallies get longer and harder.
- Soft fiberglass surface: Flexes on impact to generate power with less effort and absorbs shock for a comfortable feel, particularly valuable when you are returning hard shots under pressure.
- Black EVA core: A softer EVA foam that helps the ball leave the face with less swing speed, making it easier to accelerate your shots and control the pace of rallies.
- 3D Spin+ textured surface: Rough face texture that grips the ball to add spin, giving you better angles and dip on your returns and lobs.
- Vibrasorb System: Dampening technology that reduces vibration through the handle, lowering arm fatigue and making longer sessions more comfortable.
- Round shape with adapted hole pattern: Large, centred sweet spot and a drilling layout tuned to the round geometry for consistent control even on off-centre contact.
- Extended handle: Longer grip than standard, increasing leverage on overhead shots so you gain smash power without needing a bigger swing or two hands.
The counter vertuo is one of the best control and comfort rackets out there. Soft feel and large sweet spot, it is easy to place the ball around the court with this.

How can I guarantee next day delivery?

Everything listed as in stock is sitting in our warehouse ready to go, so there's no waiting on suppliers. Orders placed after the cut-off, on weekends or on bank holidays are dispatched the next working day.

How do I choose the right padel racket for my skill level and playing style?
Start with your level, then your style. As a rough guide: round rackets have a big sweet spot and maximum control, ideal for beginners and defensive players. Teardrop rackets balance power and control, perfect for most intermediate players. Diamond rackets are power-focused with a smaller sweet spot, best for advanced, aggressive players. The quickest way to narrow it down is our Racket Quiz, answer a few questions about your level, style and budget and it'll recommend the best options currently in stock. You can also check out our YouTube channel where we review and test rackets on court, or just message us on WhatsApp and we'll recommend one personally.
