Who is this product designed for?
This racket was designed for intermediate to advanced players looking for forgiveness and explosive power: These features are exactly what you need to return every shot and patiently control the game until you can close out with a winning shot.
In other words, a counter striker.
The Counter Viper has gotten a makeover: it has the same undeniable advantages as the previous model, but it's now more comfortable. Become a counter striker!
Weight: 365 g
In reality, the weight is measured in grams. Just like the balance point, the weight impacts a racket's swingweight and therefore its manoeuvrability, stability and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racket, the more power you'll get, but the harder it will be to handle. Conversely, the lighter the racket, the easier it will be to handle, but the less powerful it will be.
VIBRABSORB SYSTEM²
Powered by SMAC technology, this system allows optimal vibration absorption thanks to a combination of elastomers integrated into the carbon fibres at the heart of the racquet. It also includes foam in the core of the racquet and/or elastomers in the handle.
3D SPIN+
Ridges on the padel's surface and a rough finish help maximize spin and provide better control.
SMART BUTTCAP
This system lets players remove the wrist strap: you can take it off to wash it or swap it out.
X-EVA FOAM
The racket core comprises a sandwich of three different EVA layers. The outer layers are stiffer for more explosiveness on powerful shots while the softer inner layer offers improved forgiveness on slower shots.
3K CARBON
Frame and face in medium-density 3K carbon. The material is durable and offers good return. You can hit accurately without putting too much stress on your elbow.
