Royal Padel Whip Polietileno wins by 7 points
Royal Padel Whip Polietileno scores 83/100 against 76/100 for the Babolat Counter Origin. Its biggest edge is power (+18). The Babolat Counter Origin answers back on maneuverability (+12).
“The Babolat Counter Origin 2025 is a classically oriented beginner racket built around a forgiving round shape and head-light balance that rewards consistent, controlled hitting rather than aggressive power play. The fibreglass surface and EVA core combine to produce a soft, dampened feel that is genuinely arm-friendly over extended sessions, making it well-suited to newer players still developing their stroke mechanics. However, at its price point the competition from Wilson, Head, and Bullpadel offers meaningfully superior materials and performance, leaving the Counter Origin feeling safe but unremarkable in a crowded entry-level field.”
“The Royal Padel Whip Polietileno 2026 is a comfort-forward frame with a polyethylene core that absorbs impact and reduces vibration across long sessions. Power at 82 and control at 73 describe a frame that can generate pace on overheads while remaining approachable for intermediate players. Comfort at 72 is solid. Maneuverability at 66 is the trade-off: net reactions require early positioning. PRR score: 83/100.”
