Two club rackets, side by side
Pick the Speed Motion if the price decides it. The Counter Viper gives nothing on the finder's numbers that the Speed Motion does not, and it costs more: pick it if it feels better in your hand.

The rows in bold are where they differ. They match on shape, weight, balance, core, face, built for, power, control, kind to the arm, lighter edition and women's edition.
Round and quick, a little more bite than the Gravity. A control racket for a club player who volleys well.
Against the Counter Viper: cheaper.
The control member of the Viper family. Manoeuvrable, precise, and it still has enough in the overhead to finish a short lob.
Against the Speed Motion: dearer.
