Specifications
The Bullpadel Vertex 04 2025 keeps a diamond shape, a tubular Carbontube frame, X-Tend Carbon 12K faces, and a three layer Multieva core on a high, head heavy balance, built as Juan Tello's signature racket for players who want to dominate from an attacking position. Players get explosive power on the smash and at the net, real comfort from Hesacore and Vibradrive despite the stiff construction, and a customizable setup through the Custom Weight system, in exchange for a racket that punishes a rushed defensive swing and asks for settled, committed technique. It suits advanced to professional players who already generate their own power, while players still building their basic game are better served by a round shaped racket lower in Bullpadel's range.
- Vertex Core and X-Tend Carbon 12K faces deliver genuinely explosive power on the smash and at the net.
- CurvAktiv and Air Power keep the racket stable and reasonably maneuverable for a diamond shaped, head heavy build.
- Custom Weight system lets a player fine tune balance and weight rather than accepting one fixed setup.
- Hesacore, Vibradrive, and Ease Vibe combine for real comfort on a racket built primarily for attack.
- High balance and diamond shape punish a rushed or mistimed defensive swing more than a lower balanced racket.
- Not built for players still developing their basic technique.
- Forgiveness trails a round shaped racket built purely for defense.
- Tuning the Custom Weight plates takes trial and error to find the right setup.
The Vertex 05 Hybrid is the constructor's frame of the fifth generation. It gives up the head load that makes the diamond Vertex 05 a finisher and takes back a low balance, a 531 cm² face and a heart restyled to keep the frame still when the ball arrives off centre. That trade suits a player who wins points through sequences at the net and active defense, and it does not suit one looking for a single decisive shot. The weight is real and the contact stays firm, so this is a racket for someone with the technique to swing it cleanly and the arm to do it repeatedly.
- Low balance makes a 370 gram frame usable in fast net exchanges.
- 531 cm² of playing surface, generous for a hybrid shape.
- The face stays still on firm contact, so volley sequences hold together.
- Top Spin grain gives the víbora real grip on the cut.
- Balance and weight adjustable by up to 12 grams and a centimetre.
- Heavy to move at 365 to 375 grams despite the aerodynamic work.
- The smash sits below the diamond frames in the same generation.
- Contact stays firm; the damping works at the handle, not at the face.
- Defensive lobs need driving rather than steering to reach depth.
- A shortened overhead swing produces a flat, harmless ball.
