Babolat Counter Vertuo Review

Round-shaped intermediate racket from Babolat. Best for beginners and control players who want a big, forgiving sweet spot.

Shape: Round · Balance: Low · 360 g · $230

Low balance, biggest sweet spot, maximum control and forgiveness. Best for beginners and defensive players. The Babolat Counter Vertuo fits squarely in that mould: a low balance places the weight toward the handle for fast hands and easy blocking, and the Carbon face keeps the response stiff and lively.
