Brand: Bullpadel
Model: Xplo 27
Collection: Xplo
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: High (head-heavy) · 270 mmWhere 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 tube
Face material: X-Tend Carbon 3K
Core: MultiEVAPrecise and powerful at higher swing speeds, while still giving some help on slower balls.
Surface: 3D textureThe most bite on the ball, for players who rely on spin and effects.
Hardness: Medium-hardLeans firm.
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
