Babolat Counter Vertuo 2.6

Nothing extreme in weight or balance. The Counter Vertuo 2.6 weighs 350 g with a mid 265 mm balance: it neither pulls towards the head nor feels flimsy, which suits a player with steady technique who both attacks and defends.

Experienced level, Vertuo line, carbon frame. Six technologies are listed: Vibrabsorb System, Soft Fiber, 3D Spin, Smart ButtCap, Black E.V.A. and Holes Pattern System. A beginner still finding the stroke would do better with something simpler.
