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.

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.
