Babolat Counter Viper 2026 2.6 vs Just Ten Reborn Killer

“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. Our score: 86/100.”

“The Just Ten Reborn Killer 2022 is a mid-range diamond-shaped racket aimed at aggressive intermediate players seeking punch over finesse, but it falls short of delivering a truly distinctive feel in either power or control. The EVA rubber core provides moderate pace but the frame lacks the precision engineering of top-tier brands, resulting in a somewhat generic response that neither excites nor offends. Players on a tight budget who want an attack-oriented shape may find it serviceable, but most intermediates would be better served by comparable offerings from more established manufacturers at similar or slightly higher price points.”
