Air Vertuo

Babolat has three lines:

  1. The Viper line for advanced players

  2. The Veron line for intermediate players

  3. The Vertuo line for beginner players (this racket)

Each line has three models for different playing styles:

  1. The Technical for powerful attackers (this racket)
  2. The Air for fast attackers
  3. 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 or beginner players who like a fast style of play. Its fiberglass surface and vibration absorption system give it high ball output, or as Babolat refers to it, “easy power”, as well as comfort.

This is a great option for fast attackers. Those seeking an easy-to-maneuver racket to increase the intensity of their game with.

"Lightest racket of the series at 345 grams with a slick fiberglass surface, EVA core and vibration reduction system, which makes it comfortable and easy to play with due to its large sweet spot."
