Padel racket Babolat Counter Vertuo 2.5 controlled power shot
What our customers think
VERIFIED
Super raquette pour mon niveau P500! Le sweet spot est vraiment généreux et je retrouve une belle tolérance sur les coups non-centrés. La sortie de balle est nette, ça change de ma vieille pala. Très satisfait pour ce prix.
Compétiteur P1000 régulier, j'ai testé la Counter Vertuo en match sur terre battue. Franchement impressionné par la réactivité et le comportement sur les bandejas et las vibroras. Le ressenti est direct et précis. C'est un très bon compromis qualité-prix.
J'ai acheté la Counter Vertuo pour mon ado qui débute au padel. Elle est légère, facile à manier et donne du contrôle sans sacrifier la puissance. Après un mois de cours, il en est ravi et moi aussi de l'investissement!
Joueuse du dimanche depuis 3 ans, c'est ma nouvelle raquette favorite. L'équilibrage est très bon, pas trop lourde en main, et le contrôle en jeu de volée est excellent. Je me sens vraiment plus à l'aise sur le grillage qu'avant.
Bonne raquette globalement, l'équilibrage est agréable et le contrôle en fond de court est au rendez-vous. Mon seul petit bémol: les vibrations au service sont un tantinet présentes par rapport à des modèles plus hauts de gamme, mais pour £59 c'est vraiment acceptable.
Après 6 mois de padel, j'ai changé ma première pala pour la Counter Vertuo. Immédiatement plus de puissance en attaque, un meilleur sweet spot et les smashes sont vraiment plus efficaces. L'emballage était impeccable, livraison rapide. Parfait!
Raquette solide et fiable pour mon niveau de jeu intermédiaire. Elle offre un bon mix contrôle-puissance et la maniabilité est correcte. Je l'utilise sur gazon synthétique et elle tient bien l'impact. Mon seul souci: la grip s'use rapidement, j'ai déjà dû la changer.
J'ai joué en P500 pendant 2 ans avec une vieille raquette. La Counter Vertuo 2.5 m'a transformé le jeu! Sweet spot vraiment généreux, vibrations minimes, et la puissance en attaque sans perdre le contrôle. Pour moins de £60 c'est un excellent choix. Recommandé!

Everything you need to know in 6 figures
More than a product, a break
at the heart of your daily life
A round padel racket designed for absolute control
The Counter Vertuo 2.5 focuses on a round shape and a centred sweet spot to deliver rare forgiveness on off-centre strikes. You gain consistency, especially from the back of court where every recovery counts.
Its medium balance keeps the padel racket manoeuvrable. You chain bandeja, vibora and defence shots without feeling excess weight in your wrist.
EVA Soft foam core and fibreglass for a soft feel
The EVA Soft core combined with the fibreglass face filters vibrations and delivers progressive ball output. You read the ball better, you control your blocks and lobs with precision.
It's a comfortable padel racket that protects your arm over time, ideal for playing several matches a week without discomfort.
A stable structure to absorb and recover
Against smashes and lifted strikes, the Counter Vertuo 2.5 stays solid on impact. You block the ball, place it in a lob and return to position for the next point.
Its Babolat 2025 black and yellow design clearly shows your identity as an intelligent defender on court.

Our tips to get started
A few good practices to make the most of your purchase from day one and keep it in perfect condition for years to come.
Add a frame protector
Protect the frame from your first outing to preserve the fibreglass when it rubs against the glass.
Thin overgrip recommended
A thin overgrip maintains manoeuvrability and enhances feel on defensive shots from the back of court.
Store in a safe place
Avoid leaving your racket in a car in direct sunlight or extreme cold: the foam core EVA Soft degrades with temperature shocks.
Your questions, our answers
Is this padel racket suitable for a beginner player?
Yes, the round shape and large sweet spot are forgiving of off-centre hits. An ambitious beginner who wants to improve their control will find this padel racket tolerant and comfortable, ideal for building a structured baseline game.
What is its ball response like?
Ball response is progressive and controlled, typical of a EVA Soft core. You gain precision on lobs and bandejas, but you'll need to accompany the ball more to generate power on smashes.
Is it suitable for aggressive play?
It remains versatile but clearly favours control. A pure attacker would prefer a diamond or teardrop shape. The Counter Vertuo 2.5 shines especially in counter-attacks, defence and patient point building.
Does it protect the arm well?
Yes, the combination of fibreglass + EVA Soft effectively absorbs vibrations on impact. It's a good choice if you're sensitive in the elbow or shoulder, or if you play several sessions per week.
How durable is it over time?
With a frame protector from purchase and storage at stable temperature, it lasts a full season with regular use (2–3 times per week). Fibreglass is less sensitive to impact damage than pure carbon fibre.
Which grip and overgrip should I choose with it?
The original Babolat grip is adequate. Add a thin overgrip to maintain the medium manoeuvrability of the padel racket. A thick overgrip would slightly increase the weight of the face and alter the balance intended by the manufacturer.
