Babolat Counter Origin vs Head Vibe
Both affordable with soft cores, but the Counter Origin is for absolute beginners, the Vibe for intermediate players.
Counter Origin: round, low balance, maximum forgiveness. Vibe: teardrop, medium balance, more attacking bite.
Weight close (355 g vs 350 g); level and shape decide the choice.
