Playing characteristics
Where they differ
| Characteristic | Babolat Counter Origin (2025) | Babolat Stima Vita (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| WeightA heavier racket is steadier and carries more of its own power but asks more of your arm; a lighter one is quicker to swing and gives less free power. | 345–365 g | 335–355 g |
- Shape
- Round — The face stays wide around its centre, giving central contact more face around it.
- Balance
- Low — The weight sits toward the grip, so the racket turns faster in your hand and gives less free power.
- For a level
- Beginner — The least experienced player the catalogue judges it suits — it is not a limit on anyone above.
- Core
- EVA soft — A softer core flexes and holds the ball a moment longer, so less shock reaches your elbow and a swing gets less free power.
- Face
- Fiberglass — A fibreglass face flexes more, trading some power for control and comfort.
- Surface
- Smooth — No added texture, so any spin comes from the swing alone.
- Sweet spot
- Large — A wide forgiving area, so a hit that misses the centre still plays well.
- Vibration absorption
- High — Less of the shock of each impact reaches your arm.
- Arm-friendly
- Yes — The catalogue marks it as gentle on a sore elbow or shoulder.

Which one fits you?
Being torn between two rackets on the same scale still leaves open whether either fits your game. The finder asks five questions about how you actually play, plus one optional question about the racket you use now — six questions, and up to two more only if your answers leave something ambiguous. In about five minutes it narrows the whole catalogue to the rackets that actually fit you — and explains why.
