Playing characteristics
Where they differ
| Characteristic | Babolat Counter Origin (2025) | Nox X-One (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 | 360–375 g |
| Core | EVA softA softer core flexes and holds the ball a moment longer, so less shock reaches your elbow and a swing gets less free power. | EVA mediumA medium core gives some rebound for power and enough flex to stay comfortable. |
| Sweet spot | LargeA wide forgiving area, so a hit that misses the centre still plays well. | UnknownWe do not hold this yet, and a guessed value would mislead you more than none. |
| Vibration absorption | HighLess of the shock of each impact reaches your arm. | MediumSome of the shock of each impact is damped before it reaches your arm. |
| Arm-friendly | YesThe catalogue marks it as gentle on a sore elbow or shoulder. | CautionThe catalogue marks it as one to approach carefully if your elbow or shoulder hurts. |
- 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.
- 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.

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.
