Best for advanced players who build points with control
Advanced and professional players who build points as much as they finish them. It suits a player who wants diamond-shaped reach overhead without the full head weight of a power racket, and who values a ball that goes where it is aimed in defense, transition and at the net. Players who play several matches a week and want a medium touch that stays easy on the arm will also find it a good match. It is not the right choice for beginners or intermediate players still building technique, or for hitters who want a hard, explosive frame that finishes points with little preparation. Those players are better served by harder diamonds such as the Hack 05.

Overview of the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027
The Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 is the latest version of the Vertex 05 and the signature racket of Juan Tello. Within the Vertex 05 family it sits between the attack-focused Vertex 05 Geo and the faster, more neutral Vertex 05 Hybrid, and Bullpadel classes it as an all-round racket for professional players. The 2027 update brings a reinforced fifth-generation Vertex Core, an optimized Curv:aktiv frame and a wider Air Power channel. The result is a diamond with a medium touch and a 25.5 cm balance that favors placement and consistency over raw speed.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Precise control in defense and at the net.
- Stable, repeatable bandeja.
- Generous sweet spot for a diamond shape.
- Comfortable medium touch suited to frequent play.
- Sandblasted face grips the ball well for slice.
- Quick swing for a diamond shape.
Cons
- Compact strokes produce moderate pace unless the arm accelerates.
- Less explosive overhead than harder diamonds.
- Low contact in defense costs depth.
- Sandblasted finish can wear with heavy use.
Technologies & Materials
- Vertex Core⁵ — the fifth-generation Vertex heart with a triangular geometry that limits torsional and bending deformation. Its lower section is reinforced in mass and volume for stability and energy transfer;
- Curv:aktiv — a variable-section frame with side faces rotated 31.6°. It redistributes vibration, and Bullpadel states it improves aerodynamics by up to 23 %;
- Air Power — the second generation of the aerodynamic channel, with a lower side channel 50 % wider than before to raise swing speed;
- X-Tend Carbon 12K — a 12,000-filament carbon in an open weave that keeps the face light and lively, tuned for an intermediate hardness;
- MultiEVA — an EVA core built from foams of different densities: the denser material supports power, while the softer material adds comfort and control;
- Top Spin — a sandblasted grain on the face that increases contact with the ball for more spin;
- Ease Vibe — spring-shaped dampers in four holes. Bullpadel states they absorb up to 49 % of impact vibration, and moving them to other holes shifts the feel toward control or power;
- Vibradrive — a high-elasticity elastomer along the handle that absorbs vibration, especially on off-center hits;
- Hesacore — a honeycomb-pattern grip that filters vibration, improves hold and reduces sweat;
- Custom Weight — 3 g resin-finished carbon plates placed at key points of the frame to change weight and balance.
What Makes the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 Special
The core of this generation is structural. Vertex Core⁵ uses a triangular heart with a reinforced lower section, which keeps the face from twisting or bending on hard contact. Curv:aktiv turns the side faces of the frame by 31.6° to spread vibration and reduce drag, and Air Power widens the lower side channel by 50 %. Combined with a 12K carbon face and a medium touch, this produces a diamond that behaves with more stability and precision than its shape suggests, while keeping enough head weight to press the ball overhead.

How it Feels on the Court
Defense
From the back of the court, the Vertex 05 is precise. Blocks, chiquitas and defensive lobs land where intended, which makes it easy to turn a defensive position into a counterattack. The medium touch absorbs pace from hard balls, so deep lobs need a full, relaxed swing.
Important
Contact low on the face loses depth quickly, and balls coming off the back glass close to the body need early preparation, because the diamond head is slower to redirect than a round frame.
Net Play
Volleys are crisp and arrive on time. The wider Air Power channel keeps the swing quick in fast exchanges at the net, and the stable frame keeps blocks on the chosen line when the opponent hits through the body. Placement comes before pace: a firm volley goes deep and stays controlled, while the player decides how much speed to add.
Bandeja & Víbora
The bandeja is one of the racket's best shots. The frame stays steady at full extension, the ball stays inside the court, and the shot is easy to repeat under pressure. The víbora benefits from the sandblasted face, which grips the ball and lets a sliced shot bite off the side glass.
Advice
The amount of spin depends on active wrist work rather than on the surface alone.
Smash
A full swing with clean footwork produces a solid, accurate smash that travels fast. Placement matters more than force here: the flat smash is reliable, while taking the ball por tres requires complete acceleration and good timing.
Maneuverability
Quick at the net and through transitions. The 25.5 cm balance gives some head weight on overheads, which helps the final swing without slowing reactions at the net.
Forgiveness
The sweet spot is generous for a diamond and sits slightly toward the top of the face. Occasional late contact still produces a playable ball, but hits low toward the throat drop pace and length, which is felt most in defense.
Comfort
The medium touch is pleasant on clean hits, and MultiEVA together with Ease Vibe and Vibradrive keeps vibration well filtered.
Note
The racket stays comfortable over long sessions without feeling soft or dead.
Conclusion
The Vertex 05 2027 trades the last bit of explosiveness for control and consistency. It gives an advanced player a diamond that defends with accuracy, volleys cleanly and repeats the bandeja and víbora with little risk, all with a medium touch that holds up over a busy week of matches. In return, speed on the ball comes from the player's own acceleration, and the overhead lacks the punch of a harder attacking frame. It fits players who win points by building pressure; those who want a racket to end rallies with raw pace will lean toward something firmer.
