Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Counter takes 5 of the six, the Gea takes power.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Face, weight and balance change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
Carbon and fibreglass on the Counter, carbon 3k on the Gea.
No edge either way
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
The Gea is about 375 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Counter puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Gea, 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.
About the same price: €126 and €126.
