We all want to score points... We're all STRIKERS!

Our observation of the game and players has helped us to identify several player profiles. One of these, the counter striker, wants to let no ball get by them and to control the game with patience, waiting for the perfect ball to finish off their opponent. The Babolat Counter Vertuo Padel Racket has been developed to provide the precision you need to withstand the powerful shots of your opponents and to provide effortless power to score the point.

Wear out your opponents with the softer version of this new generation of padel racquets that will inspire you to be a COUNTER STRIKER and to turn the game around.

• Precision
  
  To control the game and be a COUNTER STRIKER, precision is key. We know this and that's why we've developed a new blade shape with a larger sweet spot. Get ready to return the toughest balls and get back to dominating the game.
• Easy Power
  
  The power of a racquet depends on the player who's using it. This is a reality and that's why we use flexible materials, so you can benefit from the elasticity of the racquet's surface. Enjoy effortless power to bring out your best game ever.
• Comfort
  
  Playing comfort is a key benefit to look for when choosing a racquet. To make sure that you'll be able to play as often as you want, we have designed this racquet with flexible materials and a light weight to reduce arm fatigue and to provide you with more comfort and resistance.
  
• Vibrabsorb System
  
  Powered by SMAC, the system delivers better vibration absorption thanks to a new elastomer material integrated in the graphite of the racquet's core that provides more comfort on each shot while reducing the risk of injury.
• 3D Spin
  
  Raised patterns on the racquet surface allows you to hit with more spin.
• Smart Buttcap
  A versatile system that allows players to customise strap size or completely remove the wrist strap.

Instructions for use of your padel racquet safety strap

BABOLAT padel racquets are fitted with a safety strap which is standardised and compulsory according to the regulations of the International Padel Federation.
Its role is to prevent a potential incident by holding the racquet should it involuntarily slip out of the player’s hand.
The safety strap was designed exclusively for this function. Any other use, such as repeatedly dropping the racquet voluntarily during a rally, is likely to cause the premature deterioration of the strap which could lead to its separation from the handle.

Storage and maintenance instructions for your BABOLAT padel racquet

To ensure the longevity of your padel racquet and the preservation of its properties, we recommend to:
- Store it in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and intense heat;
- Do not expose your rack to major temperature changes;
- Maintain it regularly, in particular by drying it carefully after a game if is damp before storing it in a protective cover;
