The Babolat Counter Viper Padel Racket offers extreme power, spin and comfort.

The Counter range of rackets have been designed specifically for what Babolat have coined as "Counter Strikers". These players like to control the game and go on the counter attack.

The Counter Veron features a teardrop head shape with a large sweet spot to bring you maximum control and power with ease. Offering incredible tolerance and explosive power, this racket brings exactly what you need to let no shot get past you and control the game with patience, while waiting for the perfect ball to win the game.

Babolat's in house R&D team have worked tirelessly to bring comfort to the court. The new Vibrasorb system provides optimal vibration dampening thanks to a combination of elastomers integrated into the carbon fibers at the core and the handle of the racket.

Smart ButtCap - A versatile system that allows players to customise strap size or complete remove the wrist strap

Vibrasorb System - Powered by SMAC, the system delivers better vibration absorption thanks to a new elastomer material integrated in the graohite of the racket's core that provides more comfort on each shot while reducing the risk of injury.

3D Spin+ - Raised patterns on the racket surface that allow you to hit with more spin.

X-EVA - Sandwich construction of the core with 3 differents EVA layers adapted to each racquet. An increased explosiveness on strong shots thanks to the 2 stiffer exterior layers while the softer inside layer provides more tolerance and comfort on slower shots.

RETURNS / WARRANTY

Our Policy

We hope you are happy with your PadelHQ order, though we completely understand that sometimes, rackets don’t quite feel right, or shoes can be a little snug! We’ve made our returns process as simple as possible, to ensure you can return without any hassle. 

We are unable to reserve stock for exchange items, so if you are looking to exchange an item you have purchased from us, this would need to be returned for a refund, and the new item can then be ordered via the website. 

Eligibility For Returning Goods

Before returning, please ensure that you are eligible to do so. The following are the requirements that need to be met in order to return your item. 

  • Items must be returned within 30 days from the date of purchase. 
  • Items must show no signs of use and returned in their original packaging, including the plastic wrap on the handle of rackets and boxes and tags attached to shoes or clothing. 

Goods that are returned that are not eligible according to the criteria above will be refused and returned to you. PadelHQ reserves the right to charge you for any reasonable losses incurred by this. 

Our Return Process

Step 1 - Contact Us

Either pop an email to support@padelhq.co.uk or give us a call on 023810017474 to request the return. Please include your order number and your reason for returning to ensure we can proceed as quickly as possible for you. Once you have made contact with us, you will be provided with a Yodel return label, which is priced at £5.95. The label is pre-paid, so the £5.95 cost would be deducted from your refund.

 

Step 2 - Package Your Return

Please ensure your item is wrapped securely, and avoid applying sellotape to the item’s packaging or box. If damage is caused to a product by application of tape or insufficient packaging, you will be charged for this, or possibly have your return refused in severe cases. 

 

Step 3 - Attach Your Label

Once your return has been authorised, you’ve received your label and packaged the item, you just need to attach the label to your parcel. Please ensure your label is not attached to the product itself, or the product’s box/packaging. 

 

Step 4 - Drop The Parcel To Your Local Collect+ Point 

Once packaged and labelled, all you need to do is take the parcel to your closest Yodel drop off point. Your local store can be found here: 
https://www.yodel.co.uk/store-locator

 

We suggest retaining the receipt, so you are able to track your parcel. This may also be needed if there are any issues with the parcel en route to us. 

We strive to process all returns within 14 days of arriving with us. 

Wrong Item Received / Damaged Goods

Whilst it is unlikely, mistakes can happen. If you believe you have received the incorrect item or your item is damaged/faulty upon receipt, please contact us at support@padelhq.co.uk.

Please ensure you do not use the item, or remove the packaging (plastic wrap on rackets, or tags on clothing/shoes). If the item is used or the packaging is removed, we will not be able to exchange this for you. 

To speed up the process, please include images of the issue, along with your order number.

Once we have the images and order number, we will provide you with a pre-paid label to have the item returned to us. Once returned, we can replace the goods. 

We again kindly request that no sellotape be applied directly to the item’s packaging.

My item has been damaged through use, am I able to return it?

If your item has been damaged through use, this would need to go through our warranty process. Just email support@padelhq.co.uk with details of the damage and we can begin the warranty procedure. 

How long does it take to receive my refund?
