Babolat Air Vertuo 2.6

The Air Vertuo 2.6 is Babolat's light control-leaning frame for 2026: 360 g with a Black EVA core and 18K face, scoring control 78 over power 72 with kindness throughout (comfort 73, tolerance 74). Maneuverability 73 keeps it prompt, and the premium face gives placement work unusual clarity at this weight. Value 78 is strong. The recipe suits intermediates who build points and protect arms: precise, light, forgiving, informative. Committed finishers should look elsewhere; everyone else gets one of the better light all-rounders in the current Babolat list. Demo alongside the Counter Vertuo for the fuller-framed version.

Harlem Euphoria Soft

The Euphoria Soft is Harlem's gentle mid-tier: Black EVA under a 3K face tuned soft, scoring a moderate 71/67 split with comfort 71 and tolerance 70 keeping sessions kind. Handling is honest (70). Weight documentation is incomplete. Value 78 keeps the interruption pricing. The card is quietly competent rather than memorable, which at this price is respectable: improving players get a civil, keen-enough frame from the new badge at arithmetic that survives comparison. The standing new-brand caveats apply; the soft tune at least makes the introduction friendly.
