What reviewers say

Too new for a full reviewChecked 7 Oct 2026

On paper it matches the 2026 Vertex 05. Padelshop's measurements show the real change: swingweight drops from 162 to 157, which takes it from neutral to manoeuvrable. It accelerates more easily and reacts faster at the net.

Brand: Bullpadel
Model: Vertex 05 27
Collection: Vertex
Year: 2027
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: Medium-low · 255 mmWhere the weight is concentrated. Easy to handle at the net, with a little more stability than a head-light racket. 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 tube
Face material: X-Tend Carbon 12K
Core: MultiEVAA mix of comfort and precision that suits most intermediate players.
Surface: 3D textureThe most bite on the ball, for players who rely on spin and effects.
Hardness: MediumA balanced core density.
Sweet spot: High on the faceDerived from the shape class. The 3D zone is an illustration, not a measurement.
Grip & handle: Standard handle with overgrip
