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.

Vibor A Black Mamba Pro 2.0

The Black Mamba Pro 2.0 is a mid-tier power weapon built around a firm EVA core and hybrid shape that delivers satisfying pace on smashes and drives without the pinpoint precision of higher-end rivals. The even balance keeps it manageable for advanced players transitioning from control-oriented rackets, though off-centre hits expose a somewhat punishing sweet spot that demands consistent technique. Aggressive baseliners who want punch and explosiveness without spending on premium brands will find this a credible, honest option at its price point.
