The Padel Insider

Bullpadel was founded in 1995 in Spain by a group of Argentine and Spanish professionals, making it one of the oldest padel-only equipment brands. Unlike multi-sport manufacturers that later entered padel, Bullpadel built its entire operation around the sport from day one. In 2005 the company was acquired by Aguirre y Cia, which accelerated its international expansion. Today its sponsored roster includes top Premier Padel players: Paquito Navarro, Fede Chingotto, Juan Martin Diaz, and Alejandra Salazar.

The 2026 pro lineup is organized into four main families. The Vertex 05 is the diamond-shaped flagship for advanced players who want power with versatility across all phases of the game. The Hack 04 is the most attacking option, with stiff TriCarbon 18K faces built for players who dominate at the net. The Neuron 02 uses a hybrid shape and lower balance for reactive, control-oriented play. The XPLO is the firmest and most demanding, suited to players who generate their own acceleration. Within each family, a Comfort variant softens the core or face material for arm-friendlier response, and a Hybrid variant blends carbon and fiberglass for a middle ground between power and touch. Women's models include the Elite W, Pearl W, and player editions such as the Flow Legend (Alejandra Salazar) and Wonder (Claudia Fernandez).

Carbon grades run from TriCarbon 18K (an 18,000-filament tridirectional layup for stiffness and fast snap-back) through X-Tend Carbon in 12K and 3K grades (progressively more elastic) to Fibrix, a carbon-fiberglass blend for a softer exit. Cores across the range use MultiEVA, a dual-density EVA foam with a firmer outer layer for explosive response and a softer inner layer to reduce arm fatigue. Frame technologies include Air React Channel (an aerodynamic hollow channel extended 50% over previous versions), PrismLock (inverted pentagonal geometry that blocks torsion), and Torsion Concept (energy distribution across the frame at impact). Vibration management spans multiple layers: Ease Vibe dampeners fitted in four face holes, tested by the Polytechnic University of Madrid to absorb 49% of impact vibration, Vibradrive rubber inserts running through the handle, and SmartHoles, which engineers the face hole pattern individually per racket shape to widen the sweet spot.

Rackets by Bullpadel

Technologies

Carbon Face

TriCarbon 18K

18,000-filament carbon weave used on flagship Hack and Vertex models. Stiff and direct, suited to advanced players who want a crisp response on smashes.

X-Tend Carbon 12K

12K carbon weave on mid-range models. Slightly more elastic than 18K, offering a broader sweet spot with good energy return.

Core Foam

MultiEVA

Dual-density EVA core with a firmer outer layer and softer inner layer. The combination improves arm comfort without sacrificing explosive response on full swings.

Frame

Tricore

Internal three-channel frame structure that distributes impact forces to reduce vibration and improve torsional stability on lateral hits.

TotalChannel

Aerodynamic bridge design at the throat that improves airflow during the swing, increasing racket-head speed without requiring additional swing effort.

PrismLock

Reinforced frame geometry at the perimeter designed to maintain consistent flex on off-center contact, improving precision on mishits.

Other

Air React Channel

Airflow channel system integrated into the frame that reduces drag and improves swing dynamics, particularly on accelerating attack shots.
