Specifications
The Bullpadel Elite W 2025 keeps a hybrid shape, a Carbontube frame, a Fibrix face, and a Multieva core on a medium balance, built as Gemma Triay's signature racket for players who want control and comfort alongside genuine attacking intent. Players get a wide, forgiving sweet spot, a notably gentle defensive ball exit, and real comfort from Vibradrive and the Fibrix face, in exchange for a touch less raw smash pace than a full carbon, head heavy racket would offer. It suits advanced to professional players who want one racket for both placement and pace, while players chasing maximum power above all else are better served elsewhere in Bullpadel's range.
- Fibrix face and Multieva core give a genuinely comfortable, gentle contact feel.
- Elite Core and hybrid shape forgive off center contact well.
- Air React Channel and medium balance keep the racket quick and easy to redirect.
- Vibradrive noticeably cuts vibration for a racket built with real attacking intent.
- Trades some raw smash power for the control and comfort the hybrid shape and Fibrix face are built around.
- No rated source publishes a numeric comfort score for this specific model.
- Sits alongside a Tour Final edition with its own distinct colorway and positioning, so a player should confirm which version a listing actually covers.
- The Fibrix face's softer construction means a player chasing maximum stiffness should look elsewhere in Bullpadel's range.
The Ionic Light 26 is built around getting to the ball and sending it back, and it does both well for €150. A rigid carbon frame with a flexible Glaphite face, a three layer core with a soft centre and the weight taken out through XForce's lateral channel add up to a racket that defends, covers court and stays comfortable across a long match. What it does not do is supply pace: the smash asks for a committed swing and a finishing volley wants a step forward into the ball. For an intermediate player who builds points and moves well, that trade is worth making.
- Arrives early and changes direction without resistance.
- Wide margin across the face for 350 to 360 grams.
- Ball leaves the Glaphite face with very little swing behind it.
- Low shock at contact across a long match.
- Full carbon frame at €150, the cheapest of the three Ionic models.
- Smash needs a full turn and a fast arm to finish.
- The frame can be pushed off line by a heavy ball struck off centre.
- Víbora spin is moderate rather than sharp.
- Depth has to be found through swing length, not through weight.
- Sits at the intermediate level; a player developing an attacking game will outgrow it.
