“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.”
“Franco Stupaczuk's Shadow Red ST5 is built to attack: power 90 with control 78 is a proper first-strike profile, and the confirmed even balance at 365 g explains why it feels quicker between shots than its hitting power implies. Blocks and counters stay manageable, then the same frame turns a short lob into a finished point. The firm side is unavoidable: comfort 67 and tolerance 66 mean mishits are felt and punished. Beyond balance and weight, full spec for this colourway is unconfirmed, so try before you buy. For aggressive all-court players it is a convincing signature frame.”
