Bullpadel Vertex 05 W 27

The Bullpadel Vertex 05 W 27 is a versatile women’s padel racket for advanced and professional players looking for a combination of power, maneuverability, control, and comfort. This is Delfi Brea’s racket and combines a diamond shape with a relatively low weight of 350–360 grams and a medium balance. The Fibrix hitting surface gives the racket a comfortable medium touch, making the Vertex 05 W easier to play with than many hard carbon power rackets.

What type of player is this racket suitable for?

The Bullpadel Vertex 05 W 27 is designed for advanced, competitive, and professional female players with a versatile playing style. The racket is particularly appealing to players who want sufficient power for their offensive game but are also looking for a fast and maneuverable racket for defense and quick situations at the net.

Despite its diamond shape, the Vertex 05 W does not have an extremely high balance point. The balance point of approximately 25.5 cm is medium, and combined with a weight of just 350–360 grams, the racket remains easy to maneuver. This allows you to react quickly during volleys and blocks, and the racket feels lighter in the hand than many traditional diamond-shaped power rackets.

At the same time, the diamond shape provides sufficient offensive power when accelerating on overhead shots. This makes the Vertex 05 W a good fit for players who like to come to the net and finish points but don’t want to constantly play with a heavy, head-heavy racket.

Thanks to Fibrix, the racket is also an attractive option for players looking for a professional-level racket but who find a full-carbon hitting surface too stiff or demanding. Beginners are better off choosing a rounder and even more forgiving racket, but for an experienced player, the Vertex 05 W offers a very well-rounded combination of performance and comfort.

Key Features

The Bullpadel Vertex 05 W 27 has a diamond shape, weighs 350–360 grams, is 38 mm thick, has a hitting surface of 530 cm², and features a medium balance point of approximately 25.5 cm. The combination of a diamond shape with a relatively low weight and medium balance ensures that the racket performs well in both offensive and defensive play.

The hitting surface is made of Fibrix, a combination of flexible fiberglass and stiffer carbon. The fiberglass gives the surface more elasticity and comfort, while the carbon provides the necessary stiffness and responsiveness. This creates a medium touch that generates ball output more easily than a hard, all-carbon hitting surface.

The MultiEva core consists of multiple layers of EVA with varying densities. During powerful and fast strokes, the harder outer layers respond for a more direct and explosive reaction. During gentler strokes, the softer inner layer comes to the fore, providing greater comfort, control, and feel.

The frame is constructed using CarbonTube, which employs 100% bidirectionally woven carbon for extra strength and stability. Curv:Aktiv increases the frame’s structural stiffness and reactivity and works in conjunction with Air Power to improve aerodynamics. This allows the racket to move faster through the air and makes optimal use of the maneuverability afforded by its low weight.

The Top Spin finish gives the hitting surface a textured surface for better grip on the ball and helps generate spin on shots such as volleys, bandejas, viboras, and smashes. With CustomWeight, the balance can also be further adjusted to the player’s personal preference.

Feel and Performance

The Bullpadel Vertex 05 W 27 has a medium touch and feels light, comfortable, and responsive. The Fibrix hitting surface offers more flexibility than full carbon, allowing the ball to come off the racket relatively easily. This is especially helpful when defending and on shots where you have less time to generate speed yourself.

At the net, you benefit from the racket’s light weight and excellent maneuverability. The racket is quick to position during volleys and fast exchanges. When you accelerate, the diamond shape, MultiEva core, and sturdy frame construction provide enough power to finish the point.

As a result, its character is more versatile than the diamond shape might suggest at first glance. It’s not an extremely stiff, head-heavy power racket, but a lighter women’s racket that allows you to both defend with control and attack with power.

The Bullpadel Vertex 05 W 27 is therefore particularly well-suited for experienced female players who want to combine the power of a diamond shape with a lighter weight, medium balance, comfortable feel, and plenty of maneuverability.
