[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Bullpadel Hack 05 Hybrid 27 is Paquito Navarro's defensive Hack for 2027. A hybrid shape, a low balance and a stiff 18K carbon face over a MultiEVA core. On paper that adds up to High control with Low comfort and a Low sweet spot. It suits advanced defenders who hit cleanly. Nobody has published a court test yet. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 5 October 2026 Choose it if - you defend deep, build points patiently and counterattack when the chance comes - you hit the ball cleanly most of the time and want a stiff, precise face - you want the weight near your hand, because the low balance is what pushes control up Skip it if - your arm is sensitive, because comfort reads Low; look at the Bullpadel Hack 05 Comfort 27 - you want easy power from the back of the court; the Bullpadel Hack 05 27 keeps the diamond shape - you are still learning, since the listed level is Professional and the sweet spot is small ## How it plays 7.4 **padell.io score 7.4** Play 7.9 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

The 2025 [Hack 04 Hybrid 25](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-04-hybrid-25/) was a true hybrid with high balance and a 3D Tricarbon face. The 2026 Hack 04 Hybrid 26 switched to a diamond shape and low balance, with a Tricarbon 18K face. The 2027 Hack 05 Hybrid 27 keeps the low balance, MultiEVA core and weight range of the 2026 model. But it returns to a hybrid shape with an 18K carbon face and a 3D surface instead of 3D Grain. The head grew from 529 to 530 cm2, which is negligible. Which version to look at? If you want the diamond, the 2026 model is the last one. If you want the low balance with the more forgiving hybrid outline, the 2027 is your racket. Frame and handle details are not published for the new model. ## Price history Today **€ 297.95** Lowest in 30 days **€ 261.95** vs 30-day average **-4%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. The Bullpadel Hack 05 Hybrid 27 reverses last year's biggest change: the [diamond shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) is gone, and the hybrid head is back. For 2026, Bullpadel had turned Navarro's Hybrid into a diamond. One year later the line returns to a hybrid shape. It keeps the low balance and reads like the defensive branch of the Hack family. Everything you read here comes from the spec sheet and the brand's own product page. No independent reviewer has published a test of this racket yet, so there are no measured findings to quote. That is worth knowing up front. ## Diamond out, hybrid back in: what changed since the Hack 04 Hybrid 26 The predecessor, the [Hack 04 Hybrid 26](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-04-hybrid-26/), was a diamond despite the word Hybrid in its name. The 2027 model is a hybrid again. The face label changed from Tricarbon 18K to 18K carbon. The surface went from 3D Grain to 3D. The head grew from 529 to 530 cm2. That is a difference of one square centimetre, which you will never notice. A changed label is a changed label, not proof of a different layup. What stayed is more telling. The MultiEVA core, the 38 mm thickness, the 365 to 375 g [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/) and the low balance all carry over. Paquito Navarro remains the face of the line. You can [compare the two versions directly](https://padell.io/compare/bullpadel-hack-05-hybrid-27-vs-bullpadel-hack-04-hybrid-26/) to see the full overlap. The Hack family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**05 27**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-05-27/) [**05 Comfort 27**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-05-comfort-27/) **05 Hybrid 27** ## Low balance, 18K carbon over MultiEVA: where the High control comes from Control reads High, and the build explains it. A low balance keeps the mass near your hand, so the head stays stable and easy to aim. The hybrid shape sits between round and diamond. That spreads the hitting zone more evenly than the diamond predecessor did. Then the materials. The face is 18K carbon, a stiff weave that answers precisely when you hit cleanly. The MultiEVA core is a medium-density foam that Bullpadel uses across the line. Stiff face, medium core, low balance: on paper every element points the same way. Power reads Medium, because the low balance takes away the leverage that a head-heavy racket gives you on smashes. ## The defensive Hack next to its diamond siblings Within the 2027 Hack family, roles are clearly split. The [Bullpadel Hack 05 27](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-05-27/) keeps the diamond shape and a high balance, with High power and Low maneuverability. The [Hack 05 Comfort 27](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-05-comfort-27/) uses a Fibrix face at 360 to 370 g and reads Medium on comfort. So the Hybrid is the odd one out: the only 2027 Hack with the balance toward the handle. A retailer listing describes the player profile as defensive. The brand's own page says the racket targets advanced and expert players who defend and counterattack. Treat that as a claim, but it matches the specs. ## Low comfort, Low sweet spot: what a stiff face asks of your arm Two meters read Low here: comfort and sweet spot. The 18K carbon face is hard. And 365 to 375 g is a serious weight to swing for two hours. Hard face plus heavy build usually means more shock reaching your arm on mishits. What can you do about it? Not much in the setup, because no weight system is published for this model. The honest answer is technique and physical preparation. If you already manage a heavy, stiff racket without elbow trouble, nothing here should scare you. If you have had arm issues, the Comfort sibling exists for a reason. ## No court test yet, no balance in millimetres: reading the spec sheet honestly A few things are simply not published. The balance is labelled Low by a retailer, but no figure in millimetres is available. The frame construction and the handle are not listed either. The brand's page mentions an air channel in the frame and a reinforced heart. It also claims vibration damping in the handle. Those are marketing claims, not measured facts. The same goes for on-court behaviour. Nobody has played this racket in public yet, so every playing judgement on this page is an inference from specs. Once real tests appear, expect the comfort and sweet spot questions to get concrete answers. ## Hack 05 Hybrid, Yarara Pro Bifid or Pegasus GV Edition: picking a control hybrid If you want a control-first hybrid, two alternatives sit close. The [Vibor-A Yarara Pro Bifid](https://padell.io/rackets/vibora/yarara-pro-bifid/) shares the hybrid shape and a medium-low balance, but reads Medium on comfort and Low on power. It is the softer option for similar intentions. [Compare them side by side](https://padell.io/compare/bullpadel-hack-05-hybrid-27-vs-vibora-yarara-pro-bifid/). The [Siux Pegasus GV Edition](https://padell.io/rackets/siux/pegasus-gv-edition/) goes the other way: medium balance at 265 mm and 355 to 375 g, with Medium control and Low maneuverability. The [Vibor-A Black Mamba Pro Neo](https://padell.io/rackets/vibora/black-mamba-pro-neo/) matches the Hack's profile meter for meter but is listed at Advanced level. Your choice comes down to stiffness, balance and how much arm you are willing to spend.

The Hybrid has a hybrid shape and a low balance, built for control and defense. Same year, same pro player, different jobs. **What changed compared to the Hack 04 Hybrid 26?** The shape went from diamond back to hybrid, the face label changed from Tricarbon 18K to 18K carbon, and the surface from 3D Grain to 3D. The low balance, MultiEVA core, 38 mm thickness and 365 to 375 g weight stayed the same. **Is the Hack 05 Hybrid 27 suitable for intermediate players?** The listed level is Professional, and both comfort and sweet spot read Low. It asks for clean, consistent hitting, so most intermediates would find it demanding. The Hack 05 Comfort 27 is the friendlier sibling. **Is it comfortable for a sensitive arm?** Comfort reads Low: the 18K carbon face is stiff and the racket weighs 365 to 375 g. If your elbow or shoulder is sensitive, a softer option like the Vibor-A Yarara Pro Bifid, with Medium comfort, makes more sense. **Is the Hack 05 Hybrid 27 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Pricey today" compared with the rackets that play most alike. Which shops deliver, and what shipping costs, depends on your country. The price comparison shows it for yours. See all prices **What is the closest alternative?** The Vibor-A Black Mamba Pro Neo plays most alike. Differences: handling +1.0. Today: € 239.95. [Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/bullpadel-hack-05-hybrid-27-vs-vibora-black-mamba-pro-neo/) **Who should not buy it?** Skip it if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 4.5/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (5.0/10). **How heavy is it really?** The brand gives 365 to 375 g. That counts as heavy. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
