What is different
Face, weight and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
The same face on both: carbon.
No edge either way

The Invictus is about 365 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Counter puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Invictus, for quick hands
The balance point is not listed for both.
No edge either way
* Drawn to scale: a 455 mm racket in its shape's outline (traced from a real racket of that shape), with the balance point the shops list marked on it. Real rackets vary by a few millimetres.
