About the Babolat Counter Vertuo
Take Babolat's most forgiving platform and its most forgiving head shape and you get the Counter Vertuo. The Vertuo's face is fibreglass rather than carbon, which flexes more on contact, and the Counter head is round, which centres the sweet spot where a developing player actually makes contact. The balance is low, so the racket is easy to move and easy to recover with. There is nothing in Babolat's range built to be gentler than this. As across the brand, the first word is the shape and not a tier, so the Counter, Air and Technical Vertuo differ in head shape rather than in level. Within the Babolat Vertuo line the build word is what separates two listings, since a model year describes the season a racket was sold in rather than where it sits in the range.
