About the Babolat Counter Viper
The Counter Viper pairs Babolat's round head with its stiffest platform, and the result is unlike most rackets at this level. The face is hard and the balance is high, so the racket gives back everything the Viper line is known for, but the round head centres the sweet spot rather than pushing it up towards the tip. That makes it the Viper for players who want the output without the narrow margin a diamond head imposes. Against the Technical Viper, which is a diamond, and the Air Viper, which is a teardrop, this is a shape decision rather than a step down. Babolat builds on EVA. Within the Babolat Viper 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.
