Platform score 7.8/10

The fifth Vertex keeps the line's diamond shape and attacking intent. Listings describe a wider, more triangular core of three EVA densities, meant to stay firm on fast shots and forgiving on slower ones, and a 12K carbon face. Expect a racket that rewards a full swing overhead and asks for precise contact.

Who is this racket for?

Best for: Advanced attackers who want maximum punch on overheads.
Playing style: Power / Aggressive
Level: Advanced
Recommended for: Strong players who take the net early and finish with the smash, especially from the left (revés) side.
Not ideal for: Players with shoulder or elbow issues, and anyone still building consistent technique.

The diamond shape is clearest in the front view: the widest point sits up near the tip.

The balance point is shown in the edge view with the balance overlay.

What reviewers say

2 sources summarisedChecked 7 Oct 2026

Juan Tello's racket. PadelSpeak scores it 8.5/10 and finds it stiffer and more head-heavy than the 2025 Vertex 04. Overheads are explosive, contact is crisp with plenty of feedback, and it is steady at the net, yet it moves more easily than the 04.

What testers like

Explosive smashes and finishing shots
Crisp feel with lots of feedback
Stable in fast net exchanges
Easier to move than the Vertex 04

Watch out for

Limited sweet spot that punishes off-centre hits
Average comfort; avoid with tennis elbow
Not built for defensive play

Suits: Attacking left-side players at level 5 and above.
PadelSpeak score: 8.5 / 10

Paladex’s read

One of the most committed attacking rackets here. Buy it for the smash, and only if your contact is consistent; it gives very little back on mishits.

Brand: Bullpadel
Model: Vertex 05
Collection: Vertex
Year: 2026
Shape: DiamondWidest high up near the tip, tapering in straight lines to the throat. The sweet spot sits high on the face. Maximum leverage for overheads and smashes. The smaller, higher sweet spot punishes off-centre hits, so it rewards good technique.
Weight: 365–375 gOn the heavy side: more stability and punch, but more tiring over long matches and slower in fast exchanges.
Balance: High (head-heavy) · ≈ 272 mm (estimated)Where the weight is concentrated. Hits harder on smashes and volleys, but feels slower to swing and is more demanding on the shoulder and elbow. Higher balance generally favours power, lower balance usually improves maneuverability.
Thickness: 38 mmA full 38 mm profile (the regulation maximum) gives more stability and power.
Frame material: Carbon
Face material: X-Tend Carbon 12K
Core: MultiEva (triple density)Precise and powerful at higher swing speeds, while still giving some help on slower balls.
Surface: RoughGrips the ball for more spin on slices, kick serves and viboras.

Our take

Sample editorialPaladex editorial (sample)

Point-ending power, for the committed

Among the most attack-focused shapes in the catalog. The wider core makes it a touch steadier than you might fear.

A heavy head and diamond shape make the Vertex 05 a smash-first racket. The multi-density core should help it feel solid on fast exchanges without going dead on slow balls. It still behaves like a diamond, though: the sweet spot is high and compact, and quick defensive reactions take strength.

Pros

Exceptional overhead power
Stable at the net on hard volleys
Rough face for spin

Cons

Demanding sweet spot
Heavier feel in long rallies

Verdict

A top pick for advanced attackers. Overkill for most club players.

3D inspection notes

Compare its front view with a round racket in the overlay mode: the head is noticeably wider near the tip.
