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.

Softee Trionic Light

The Trionic Light is Softee's featherweight offer: a 340 g even-balanced Soft EVA build under a fibreglass face scoring maneuverability 73 with kind terms (comfort 70, tolerance 70) and a gentle 66/65 split. Value 78 is honest. At this weight the brand's usual value-shelf story gains a real distinction: 340 g with documentation is scarce at Softee money, which matters to lighter-framed players and arm-managers more than any badge. The benchmarks still lead on outright arithmetic; the Trionic argues on grams instead, and fairly.
