Description

BABOLAT COUNTER VERON 2024

The Babolat Counter Veron 2024 is a padel racket designed for “Counter Strikers” – players who prioritize control and patience in their game, waiting for the opportune moment to unleash a decisive counter-attack. It’s an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced players who want to dictate the tempo of the match from the baseline and surprise opponents with well-placed shots.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of its features and technologies:

Key Features & Technologies:

• Player Typology: Counter Striker (defensive-minded, patient players who control the game).
• Head Shape: Round/Hybrid. This shape provides a larger sweet spot, enhancing forgiveness and control, particularly crucial for defensive shots and consistent returns.
• Core Composition: Black EVA. This more elastic foam offers a comfortable feel and contributes to both power and comfort on impact. It provides a medium feel, striking a balance between responsiveness and comfort.
• Surface Composition: Carbon Flex. This unique weave combines carbon and fiberglass. Carbon provides explosive power, while fiberglass offers easy power and a more flexible surface, resulting in dynamic power and comfort.
• Weight: Approximately 365 grams (+/- 10g). This weight, combined with its balance, aims for a blend of power and maneuverability.
• Balance: 270 mm (leans towards a head-heavy bias). While providing a forceful presence, it maintains agility for quick reactions.
• Thickness: 38 mm.
• 3D Spin+: Raised patterns and a rough finish on the racket surface allow for increased spin on the ball, leading to better control and more deceptive shots.
• Holes Pattern System: The optimized distribution and size of the holes for the racket’s shape boost power transmission and enhance precision.
• Vibrabsorb System² (Powered by SMAC): This technology integrates elastomers into the carbon fibers of the racket’s core and handle, providing optimal vibration dampening. This improves comfort on each shot and helps reduce the risk of arm injuries.
• Smart Buttcap: A versatile system that allows players to customize or entirely remove the wrist strap for enhanced hygiene, comfort, and personalization.

On-Court Performance:

• Precision: The round/hybrid shape and large sweet spot are specifically designed to offer high precision, enabling players to control the game and place balls effectively, even when under pressure.
• Playability: The Carbon Flex surface aims to bridge the gap for players who find full carbon rackets too stiff, offering the reactivity of carbon with the comfort of fiberglass.
• Comfort: The Vibrabsorb System² significantly reduces vibrations, contributing to a more comfortable playing experience and minimizing arm fatigue.
• Defense: Excels at the back of the court, offering forgiveness on off-center hits and facilitating consistent returns.
• Net Play: The head-heavy balance makes it a reliable ally for aggressive volleys and allows for pinpoint accuracy at the net.
• Offensive Plays: While primarily control-oriented, the Carbon Flex surface and Black EVA core still provide dynamic power for offensive shots like smashes and drop shots, allowing the “Counter Striker” to finish points when the opportunity arises.
