Babolat Counter Viper 2.6 vs Babolat Counter Veron 2.6
Not lighter on the published specification: both list 365 g plus or minus 10 g. Babolat positions the Veron for a more flexible response, but these pages do not establish a measured difference in whole-racket stiffness.

Sources checked on 29 September 2026: Babolat's Counter Viper 2.6 page and Counter Veron 2.6 page. This comparison uses the exact 2.6 model names, without inferring a release year.
One detail to check before ordering
The Veron page describes medium balance in its introduction but head-heavy balance in its technical table. We cannot resolve that contradiction from the page alone. Do not buy it assuming a lower balance than the Viper. Ask the seller for the actual sample's balance and weight, including the grip and accessories you will use.
A missing balance category in our record contributes a neutral midpoint to the rating formula. That can change the apparent gap between these models. A higher handling score is not evidence that the Veron weighs less.
Which should you try?
Start with the Veron if your reason for switching is the response of an all-carbon face. Babolat's description gives you a reason to compare its mixed-material face, not a guarantee about your results. Include the Viper if you want to compare its different face and core construction in the same session.
If less weight is your main goal, this pair does not establish a lighter model. Ask for the actual unit weight rather than choosing by Viper or Veron in the name.
Which one
Choose the Babolat Counter Viper 2.6 if
you prefer this exact sample in a side-by-side trial. Its different face and core are reasons to compare it, not proof it will improve your shots.
you want to try the mixed-material face. Check the actual sample: its listed weight is the same as the Viper, and the source gives conflicting balance labels.

Which is easier on the arm, the Babolat Counter Viper 2.6 or the Babolat Counter Veron 2.6?

Is the Counter Veron 2.6 lighter than the Counter Viper 2.6?
Both official pages list 365 g plus or minus 10 g, or 355 to 375 g. Individual rackets can differ within that range. The model names do not establish which shop sample is lighter.
Does Carbon Flex prove that the whole racket is softer?
No. The manufacturer describes the mixed-material face as flexible, but the checked pages do not provide a comparable whole-racket stiffness measurement. Use that description as a reason to try it, not a measured performance result.
Does the Counter Veron 2.6 have a lower balance?
The checked Spanish page contradicts itself: the introduction says medium balance while the technical table says head-heavy. We do not choose one label to promise a lower balance. Ask about the actual racket you intend to buy.
