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.

Bullpadel VERTEX 03 CTR

The Vertex 03 CTR was the control conversion of Bullpadel's then-flagship attack platform, and the card still reads well: control 82 with comfort 75 and tolerance 76, kind numbers wrapped in Vertex build quality, with power 70 stating the conversion's honest price. Full specification is unconfirmed in our data, so weight, shape and materials go unverified; treat the demo as the spec sheet. Value 78 reflects where old stock has settled. For patient players who like the idea of flagship construction pointed at placement, remaining CTR stock is a reasonable, increasingly rare find.
