[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Bullpadel Hack 05 27 is Paquito Navarro's diamond-shaped attacking racket for 2027, heavy at 365 to 375 g with a high balance. On paper almost nothing moved against the Hack 04 26. The face label changed from Tricarbon 18K to 18K carbon, and the dual balance label collapsed to High. Nobody has court-tested it yet, so you buy on specs alone. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 6 October 2026 Choose it if - you are an offensive player who finishes points rather than constructs them - you already liked the Hack 04 26 and want the same recipe in the 2027 colourway - you tune your racket with the Custom Weight system instead of buying a different model Skip it if - your elbow or shoulder complains on stiff, head-heavy rackets, look at the Bullpadel Hack 05 Comfort 27 instead - you defend more than you attack, the low-balance Bullpadel Hack 05 Hybrid 27 suits that better - you want independent court tests before spending, none exists for this racket yet, and the LOK Maxx Hype Yanguas World has no published court test either ## How it plays 7.6 **padell.io score 7.6** Play 8.2 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%). No independent reviews found yet, so that part starts low.

The MultiEVA core and 18K carbon face claw some back, but you still place the ball yourself. - **Power** Everything here feeds power: the high balance, the heavy build, the stiff carbon faces. Overheads are the natural habitat. - **Comfort** Low. Stiff faces, a heavy frame and a head-heavy swing give a firm, demanding hit that your arm will notice over a long match. - **Handling** Low again. Quick net exchanges and late defensive gets cost you more effort with this weight up high. - **Forgiveness** The diamond shape keeps it small. Hit cleanly and it rewards you; miss slightly and the racket tells you. ## Specifications - **Launched**: 2027 The newest version of this racket - **Shape**: Diamond [Sweet spot high in the face: power overhead, less forgiving](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) - **Weight**: 365 to 375 g Heavy: stable and powerful, tiring over long matches - **Balance**: Head-heavy according to the brand Head-heavy: more power overhead, slower to move - **Face**: 18K carbon Stiff: precise and powerful at speed, less damping - **Core**: MultiEVA Medium hard: the middle ground - **Thickness**: 38 mm The maximum the rules allow - **Head size**: 522 cm² - **Surface**: 3D, rough Rough: helps with spin - **Frame**: Carbon Not published by the brand: handle Specs from padelnuestro.com · checked 25 September 2026 · [Spotted a wrong spec?

The face label goes from Tricarbon 18K to 18K carbon. The surface goes from 3D Grain to 3D, rough. The balance label goes from High, Medium to High only, and the weight system loses the word system. The specs that decide how it plays, core, diamond shape, 38 mm profile, 365 to 375 g and head size, are identical. The balance in millimetres and frame layup are not published for the new model, so a deeper change cannot be confirmed or ruled out. If you want the newest badge, buy the 05 27. If you want the same playing racket, the Hack 04 26 is effectively it. The 2023 [Hack 03](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-03-2023/) was a different, lower-level model, so ignore it as a comparison. ## Price history Today **€ 259.95** Lowest in 30 days **€ 259.95** vs 30-day average **-6%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. The Bullpadel Hack 05 27 keeps almost every number from last year's [Hack 04 26](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-04-26/). Same [diamond shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/). Same 365 to 375 g. Same MultiEVA core, same 38 mm profile, same 522 cm2 head. If you know the Hack line, you know what this is: Paquito Navarro's attacking racket, built for players who end points rather than construct them. What is new in 2027 is mostly on the label, and that is worth saying plainly before you pay for a new season's racket. ## Tricarbon 18K out, 18K carbon in: a rename or a rebuild The face changed from Tricarbon 18K on the Hack 04 26 to 18K carbon on the Hack 05 27. The product page at Pādel Nuestro still describes the new model with Tricarbon 18K faces, which makes the rename look like exactly that: a rename. Nothing in the listed specs shows a measured change in material or layup. What does that mean on court? An 18K carbon face is stiff, and stiff faces give you a firmer, more direct hit. You feel the ball less, but you get pace back when you swing hard. Bullpadel describes the hitting feel as medium-hard, and that fits the spec sheet. Do not expect the new name to transform the racket. Expect last year's racket with a cleaner badge. ## High balance only: the Medium option disappears from the label The Hack 04 26 carried a balance label of High, Medium, with 260 mm listed by one retailer. The Hack 05 27 is listed simply as High, and no balance in millimetres is published for it. A changed label is a changed label, not a measured change. Maybe Bullpadel settled on one balance point, maybe the listing is just less detailed. You cannot tell from the outside. What you can tell is what a high balance does. Weight sits toward the head, so the racket swings heavy and hits hard. It also means slower reactions at the net and more work for your wrist on defence. That is the deal with every Hack, and this one is no exception. ## 365 to 375 g, diamond, 38 mm: the attacking core that did not move The parts that define how a Hack plays stayed identical. The weight runs 365 to 375 g. That is heavy. Combined with the diamond shape and high balance, the whole spec sheet points one way: power first, everything else second. The MultiEVA core has a medium density, and Bullpadel claims it adapts its response to the intensity of the impact. Treat that as the brand's claim, but a medium-density core does soften the stiff carbon a little. The rough 3D surface returns for spin on bandejas and viboras, renamed from 3D Grain but described the same way: 3D and rough. The Hack family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) **05 27** [**05 Comfort 27**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-05-comfort-27/) [**05 Hybrid 27**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-05-hybrid-27/) ## Custom Weight, rough 3D surface: the tuning Bullpadel lists The Custom Weight system is still there, letting you add or remove small weights to shift the balance and total weight. On a head-heavy diamond this matters more than on most rackets. Pull weight out of the head and you buy back some maneuverability; add it and the smash gets heavier. It will not turn the Hack into a control racket, but it lets you nudge it toward your arm's tolerance. Bullpadel's product page also names HackCore, AirPower, SmartHoles, EasyVibe, Vibradrive and Hesacore as part of the construction. These are the brand's own names for its technologies, not measured specs, so treat them as claims until someone tests the racket. ## No balance in millimetres, no court test yet: what you cannot check Two gaps deserve honesty. First, the balance in millimetres is not published anywhere for this model. You know it is high; you do not know how high. Second, as of now no independent reviewer has published a court test of the Hack 05 27. Everything you read here comes from the spec sheet and the brand's own marketing. The product page pushes a concept Bullpadel calls dynamic power: the idea that the racket converts your own movement speed into shot power. That is marketing language, not a measurement. The measurable truth is simpler. Stiff faces, high balance, heavy weight, small sweet spot. A demanding racket for players who already hit hard. ## Hack 05 27, Hack 05 Hybrid 27 or Vertex 04 25: picking your Bullpadel diamond Bullpadel sells two siblings in the same 2027 family. The [Hack 05 Comfort 27](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-05-comfort-27/) swaps the carbon faces for Fibrix and drops to 360 to 370 g. It rates medium on comfort: same attacking idea, kinder arm. The [Hack 05 Hybrid 27](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-05-hybrid-27/) keeps the 18K carbon but moves to a hybrid shape with low balance, rating high on control. Same family, different answer. The rival diamond in the catalogue is the [Bullpadel Vertex 04 25](https://padell.io/compare/bullpadel-vertex-04-25-vs-bullpadel-hack-05-27/), with 12K carbon faces and Juan Tello's name on it. The Hack is the stiffer, more extreme option. And if you are hesitating between this and last year, the [comparison with the Hack 04 26](https://padell.io/compare/bullpadel-hack-04-26-vs-bullpadel-hack-05-27/) shows how little moved. If you find the [Hack 04 26](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-04-26/) still listed, you are looking at nearly the same racket.

The face label changed from Tricarbon 18K to 18K carbon, and the balance label is now High only. Core, shape, profile, weight range and head size are identical, so it plays the same on paper. **What level do you need for the Hack 05 27?** It is listed as a professional racket, and the specs back that up: heavy, head-heavy and stiff with a small sweet spot. Intermediate players will find it punishing; the Hack 05 Comfort 27 is the forgiving door into the family. **Is the Hack 05 27 bad for your arm?** The stiff 18K carbon faces, heavy weight and high balance make it a demanding racket, and the comfort meter reads low. If you have elbow or shoulder trouble, the Fibrix-faced Hack 05 Comfort 27 is the safer pick. **Hack 05 27 or Hack 05 Hybrid 27?** The Hybrid keeps the same 18K carbon and weight but moves to a hybrid shape with low balance, rating high on control and medium on maneuverability. Pick the diamond Hack 05 27 to finish points, the Hybrid to build them. **Is the Hack 05 27 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Pricey today" compared with the rackets that play most alike.
