Babolat Counter Viper 2026 2.6

The Babolat Counter Viper 2026 2.6 is a control-first diamond with a 270 mm balance point that keeps the weight from feeling oppressive while still providing reliable head feel. At 87 control, shot placement is accurate and repeatable for advanced players who construct their points carefully. Power at 77 is enough to threaten but won't overpower anyone. The carbon-fibreglass face and EVA foam core deliver a composed, connected response. PRR score: 86/100.

Crowniton

The Crowniton is Black Crown's entry control frame, and its card is a quiet achievement: control 80, tolerance 75 and comfort 74 in an even 370 g build, at value 82, among the best arithmetic in the control aisle. Maneuverability 75 keeps everything punctual, and the EVA core absorbs incoming pace obediently. Power 68 is the genre's honest boundary. Face documentation is incomplete, so verify in hand. For patient players who want the boutique strike pointed at placement, at money that undercuts the mainstream, the Crowniton is one of the segment's overlooked bargains.
