The verdict The Babolat Counter Viper 2.6 2026 is built for players who want precision at the net and from the baseline without sacrificing versatility. Control at 88 is its standout weapon, making every placement feel intentional and sharp. Power sits at a solid 78, enough to threaten without relying on pure arm strength. Comfort at 68 is the trade-off — longer sessions may expose arm fatigue for sensitive players.
