What is different
Four things change between them. Pick one to look closer.
Carbon and fibreglass on the Counter, not listed on the Mamba.
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 Mamba is about 375 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Counter puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Mamba, 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.
