Description from manufacturer
One of the world's most iconic models is here in an update. New Viper Counter!
With an updated damping system in the racket, you get even more feel of the racket while harmful vibrations are further reduced. With more feel, comes more control. Viper Counter is a very stable model that offers a larger sweet spot than other models in the Viper series. Its round shape perfectly utilizes the opponent's speed and gives you extra power in your shots. A unique detail is the head-heavy balance that provides extra speed, especially in overhead shots such as smashes. It is primarily suitable for players with a more defensive style who prefer to play further back in the court and wait for the right moment to finish the point.

"Ginto", Man 30 year
Level: elite
The racket with the largest sweet spot I have ever found. Quite manageable, it should be a must-have for anyone starting to play. Lacks a bit of free power in the smash and some roughness in the net, but overall a nice racket for both right and left-handed players!

Man 37 year
Level: amateur
Wide enough sweet spot. Manageable, moderately powerful, offers good control. Does everything well, but nothing at the highest level.

"Giovanni Pietro", Man 23 year
Level: advanced
It feels like a brick when I use it. Many times the shots get stuck on the racket and don't come out the way I want, they stop.

Man 45 year
Level: advanced (have paddle elbow)
Very high precision. Easy. Provides decent speed but needs more speed to avoid straining the elbow.

"Andrea", Man 34 year
Level: advanced (have paddle elbow)
Good in defense and serving, but from the second set on, the pressure starts to be felt and the arm suffers.

"Alessia", Woman 46 year
Level: amateur
I find it a bit heavy, not very handy, and not well-balanced for my game.
