Choosing a Babolat Racquet
Babolat makes choosing your weapon simple: pick your feel (Material), then pick your playstyle (Shape).
Whether you need effortless comfort, lightning-fast hand speed at the net, or solid stability to absorb big shots, use our quick guide below to find your perfect match.
Step 1: Choose Your Feel (Vertuo vs. Veron)
- Vertuo Series (Forgiving & Comfortable): Built with a flexible fiberglass face. Offers a softer feel, extra vibration absorption, and "easy power" off the trampoline effect. Ideal for beginners, developing players, and anyone wanting maximum arm comfort.
- Veron Series (Dynamic Power & Precision): Built with Carbon Flex (a high-performance weave of carbon and fiberglass). Provides a crisper, more responsive hit with explosive dynamic power, without feeling stiff or harsh on your arm. Perfect for intermediate to advanced players.
Step 2: Choose Your Playstyle (Air vs. Counter vs. Technical)
Air
Air (Teardrop Shape): Ultra-lightweight and aerodynamic. Built for fast, agile movers who want lightning-quick transitions and hand speed at the net.
Counter
Counter (Oversized Round Shape): Features a massive, tolerant sweet spot. Built for strategic, patient players who absorb power from the back of the court and turn defense into controlled counter-attacks.
Technical
Technical (Diamond Shape): Head-heavy and built for raw leverage. Designed for aggressive attackers who want maximum smash power and pinpoint attacking shots.
