Babolat Counter Viper
lower price / value is the fork: Counter Viper (Counter Viper: round, 365 g ±10, 3K carbon, X-EVA — Babolat’s counter-striker, not a teardrop Technical.) versus Gravity Pro (Current Gravity Pro on HEAD.com: control-family racket with Control FOAM and spin surface — not a Coello diamond.). Source verdict cue: Buy this if you want Head’s control Pro. Live manufacturer page is still the 2024 Gravity Pro. Spec split — peer shape round vs source shape round.

- Counter Viper advantage: official round Counter Viper with 3K and X-EVA
- Also stronger on: 365±10 g — a real control Viper, not Technical’s diamond
What you give up
- You leave behind Gravity Pro's official Control FOAM and spin-surface Gravity Pro
- Counter Viper downside: still a 3K Viper, not Vertuo fiberglass
- Only switch if heavy-weight control Pro — not a light beginner round is a real problem — otherwise lower price / value is optional
Who should switch
Choose Counter Viper if your calendar is mostly padel defensive / padel control and Gravity Pro's padel control / padel advanced bias is the wrong default.
Who should stay with Gravity Pro
Stay with Gravity Pro if heavy-weight control Pro — not a light beginner round is not biting; Counter Viper's upside does not cancel still a 3K Viper, not Vertuo fiberglass.
Best for
- Official round with 3K and X-EVA.
- 365±10 g.
