Babolat has three lines:
The Viper line for advanced players
The Vertuo line for beginner players
Each line has three models for different playing styles:
The Air for fast attackers
The Counter for counterattackers and defenders
This year’s model is the same as last year’s with a few minor changes (the following applies to the entire Vertuo line):
The paint job
The handle is slightly larger
The racket now has a strap interchange system
This racket is designed for intermediate and/or beginner power-oriented players. Those who don’t mind a higher balance and appreciate the resulting power. Its fiberglass surface and vibration absorption system give it high ball output, or as Babolat refers to it, “easy power”.
This is a great option for power-oriented players who are increasing the intensity of their game.
