Which Bullpadel racket should you buy?

The right Bullpadel racket depends on how you win points, because Bullpadel splits its range by playing style rather than by price. Every pick below is on sale with a UK price checked in October 2026. If you are still choosing between brands, start with our guide to the best padel rackets.

Bullpadel labels its current range 2027, even though it has been on sale since the summer. The 2027 Pro Line covers 18 rackets across 9 families and was released between July and September 2026, so these are the rackets to buy this year. The 2026 in our title is the buying year, not the model year.

Vertex, Hack, Neuron and XPLO in brief

• Vertex is versatile. The Vertex 05 is a diamond with a 25.5 cm balance, built to attack and defend.
• Hack is attacking. The Hack 05 is also a diamond, but its 26.5 cm balance puts more weight in the head.
• Neuron is for control and precision. The Neuron 02 is a hybrid shape with a 25.5 cm balance and a HardEVA core.
• XPLO is for power. The XPLO 02 has a 27 cm balance, the highest listed in this guide.

1. Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027, best overall

The Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 is Juan Tello’s racket and the centre of Bullpadel’s versatile family. It is a diamond of 365-375 g with a 25.5 cm balance, which puts enough weight in the head to finish points without making the racket slow at the net.

The faces are X-Tend Carbon 12K over a MultiEVA core, with a 38 mm profile and a 530 cm2 hitting surface. Bullpadel rates it for professional and advanced players. If you want the same racket with a lower balance, the Vertex 05 Hybrid 2027 drops it to 25 cm and is the more defensive version.

What you get: Diamond shape, 365-375 g, 25.5 cm balance, 38 mm profile, 530 cm2 face, X-Tend Carbon 12K faces, MultiEVA core.

Price and where to buy: £296.51 at Padel Nuestro, so about $392 or €350. Padel Market has it at £302.99.

Who it is for: Advanced players who want one racket that attacks and defends equally well.

2. Bullpadel Hack 05 2027, best for attacking players

The Bullpadel Hack 05 2027 is Paquito Navarro’s racket and the attacking choice in the range. It shares the Vertex 05’s diamond shape and 365-375 g weight, but its 26.5 cm balance sits 1 cm further towards the head, so smashes and flat volleys carry more weight.

The faces are Tricarbon 18K over a MultiEVA core, on a 522 cm2 surface. The Hack 05 Hybrid 2027 is the lower-balance version, at 25 cm with an A/18K face of 18K carbon and aluminium fibres.

What you get: Diamond shape, 365-375 g, 26.5 cm balance, 522 cm2 face, Tricarbon 18K faces, MultiEVA core.

Price and where to buy: £296.51 at Padel Nuestro, so about $392 or €350. Padel Market has it at £302.99.

Who it is for: Advanced attacking players who finish points at the net and can handle a head-heavy racket.

3. Bullpadel Neuron 02 2027, best for control

The Bullpadel Neuron 02 2027 is Fede Chingotto’s racket and the family built for control and precision. It is a hybrid shape of 365-375 g with a 25.5 cm balance, and it is the only numbered pick here with a HardEVA core, a firmer foam suited to placing the ball rather than blasting it.

The faces are X-Tend Carbon 3K on a 525 cm2 hitting surface. The Neuron 02 Edge 2027 is the same idea in a geometric shape, with a larger 535 cm2 face and a slightly higher 26 cm balance.

What you get: Hybrid shape, 365-375 g, 25.5 cm balance, 525 cm2 face, X-Tend Carbon 3K faces, HardEVA core.

Price and where to buy: £288.03 at Padel Nuestro, so about $380 or €340. Padel Market lists it at £294.99.

Who it is for: Players who build points from the back of the court and win them with placement rather than power.

4. Bullpadel XPLO 02 2027, best for maximum power

The Bullpadel XPLO 02 2027 is Martin Di Nenno’s racket and the power option in the range. Its 27 cm balance is the highest listed in this guide, and its 507 cm2 face is the smallest listed, so the weight is concentrated high in the head for big overheads.

Retailers disagree on the shape, so the fairest description is geometric, close to a diamond. It weighs 365-375 g, with X-Tend Carbon 3K faces over a MultiEVA core. The small face and high balance make it less forgiving on off-centre hits than the Vertex 05.

What you get: Geometric shape close to a diamond, 365-375 g, 27 cm balance, 507 cm2 face, X-Tend Carbon 3K faces, MultiEVA core.

Price and where to buy: £279.56 at Padel Nuestro, so about $369 or €330.

Who it is for: Strong, experienced players who want every smash to count and do not mind a demanding racket.

5. Bullpadel Hack 05 Comfort 2027, best for arm comfort

The Bullpadel Hack 05 Comfort 2027 keeps the attacking Hack 05 layout and changes the face. It has the same diamond shape and 26.5 cm balance, but swaps the Tricarbon 18K face for Fibrix, a mix of glass and carbon fibre, and it is a little lighter at 360-370 g against 365-375 g.

Glass fibre gives a softer feel on contact than an all-carbon face, which is why Bullpadel uses Fibrix on its Comfort models. The core is MultiEVA, as on the standard Hack 05, and Bullpadel aims it at advanced players. A softer racket is not a treatment, so see a physio if your elbow already hurts.

The Neuron 02 Edge Comfort 2027 is the control-minded alternative: a geometric racket with a Fibrix face and a MultiEVA core, also at £220.25 at Padel Nuestro.

What you get: Diamond shape, 360-370 g, 26.5 cm balance, Fibrix (glass and carbon fibre) faces, MultiEVA core.

Price and where to buy: £220.25 at Padel Nuestro, so about $291 or €260. Padel Market has it at £224.99.

Who it is for: Attacking players who want the Hack shape with a softer face and a few grams less to swing.

6. Bullpadel Elite W 02 2027, best for women

The Bullpadel Elite W 02 2027 is Gemma Triay’s racket and, at 350-360 g, the lightest numbered pick in this guide. It is a hybrid shape with a 25.5 cm balance, so it stays quick at the net and forgiving from the back of the court.

The faces are Fibrix, the glass and carbon mix also used on the Comfort models, over a MultiEVA core.

Women who prefer to attack have two diamond options: the Pearl 2027, Bea Gonzalez’s racket, and the Flow Legend 2027, Alejandra Salazar’s racket with a 26 cm balance. Our guide to the best women’s padel rackets compares them with other brands.

What you get: Hybrid shape, 350-360 g, 25.5 cm balance, Fibrix faces, MultiEVA core.

Price and where to buy: £249.91 at Padel Nuestro, so about $330 or €295. Padel Market lists it at £255.99.

Who it is for: Women, and any player, who want a lighter all-round racket.

7. Bullpadel Hack 04 Hybrid 2025, best value

The Bullpadel Hack 04 Hybrid 2025 is an earlier-season Hack, and at £139.99 it is the cheapest racket with a full carbon face in this guide. It is a hybrid shape with a medium-high balance and weighs 365-375 g.

The face is TriCarbon 18K over a MultiEVA core, the same face material as the current Hack 05. This is discounted 2025 stock, so the price may not last.

What you get: Hybrid shape, 365-375 g, medium-high balance, TriCarbon 18K faces, MultiEVA core.

Price and where to buy: £139.99 at Padel Market, so about $185 or €165.

Who it is for: Club players who want a carbon Bullpadel for less than half the price of the Vertex 05 2027.

How to choose a Bullpadel racket

Shape and balance

Diamond rackets such as the Vertex 05 and Hack 05 put the sweet spot high for attack, hybrids such as the Neuron 02 and Elite W 02 sit between round and diamond, and the geometric Edge and XPLO models reshape the head.

Listed balance in this guide runs from 25 cm on the Vertex 05 Hybrid and Hack 05 Hybrid to 27 cm on the XPLO 02. The higher the number, the more weight sits in the head: more power on the smash, slower hands at the net.

Weight

Most of the 2027 pro models weigh 365-375 g, which suits strong adult players. The Elite W 02 and Flow Legend weigh 350-360 g, and the Comfort models 360-370 g. If you are between two rackets, the lighter one is the safer choice.

Carbon or Fibrix faces

Bullpadel uses two kinds of face on these rackets. The pro models use carbon: X-Tend Carbon 12K on the Vertex 05, Tricarbon 18K on the Hack 05 and X-Tend Carbon 3K on the Neuron 02 and XPLO 02. The Comfort and women’s models use Fibrix, a glass and carbon fibre mix with a softer feel.

Beginners and budget

The Bullpadel 2027 pro line is aimed at advanced players, so none of it is a sensible first racket. Bullpadel’s intermediate option, the Nitro Power 2027 at £59.99 (about $79 or €71), was sold out at Padel Market when we checked in October 2026.

Apart from the sold-out Nitro Power, the Bullpadel rackets under £150 in this guide are earlier-season models: the Vertex 04 Light X Series 2026 at £129.99 and the Hack 04 Hybrid 2025 at £139.99. Beginners will do better with a round racket from our guide to the best padel rackets, and improvers should see our best padel rackets for intermediate players.
