Collection note: This is the Counter Veron currently purchasable on babolat.com/es. A Counter Veron 3.0 page is already live (recorded separately) but carries no price. balance.value is null because the page contradicts itself: the spec table says "Cabeza pesada" (head heavy), the description says "equilibrio medio". Tipología de jugador: Contraatacante. One benefit paragraph on the page mistakenly names the Counter Viper. Source is the Spanish Babolat site (babolat.com/es). The page prints no model year and no level, only a player type ("Tipología de jugador"). Weight is the published nominal weight plus and minus 10 g. Balance is given as a word only, no mm figure on the ES page.
How each rating was calculated
- Power 32 = shape (round) 0/45 + balance (not published) 17.5/35 + weight (365g) 10/20 = 27.5 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Control 74 = shape (round) 60/60 + balance (not published) 20/40 = 80 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Handling 50 = balance (not published) 25/50 + weight (365g) 25/50 = 50 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Forgiveness 68 = shape (round) 45/45 + firmness (not published) 17.5/35 + face material (hybrid) 10/20 = 72.5 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Comfort 50 = firmness (not published) 20/40 + face material (hybrid) 12.5/25 + balance (not published) 10/20 + weight (365g) 7.5/15 = 50 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Value 23 = mean of the two highest ratings, divided by the price in euros, scaled so the best value in the index is 100
