The Coach's Eye
With the Counter Viper, enjoy a pure control padel racket! The DNA of this model from the Babolat brand is the control it brings on the defensive plan: it is a stable racket, with a low balance, I find it perfectly suited to dynamic players who like to play with intensity, especially during defensive phases. This is the ideal racquet for distributing play and building up defensive shots at any pace of the rally.
For me, the big plus of this racquet comes from its ability to defend well while providing offensive performance. In attack, despite its shape, the racket provides control and power thanks to the carbon! It therefore allows you to drive the point home on the fly or with a smash after a good defense! This is one of the best racquets for improving your defense game without losing your ability to finish points.
