The Bullpadel Hack Advance 2026 is listed as a teardrop. It has a fiberglass face over an EVA core, at 360 to 375 g and 38 mm thick. On paper it reads medium on four meters and low on maneuverability, for intermediate players. The catch: no reviews exist yet, and the product page text calls it round. Do not confuse it with the Hack 02 Advance.
RBy Ruud Caris · facts checked 31 October 2026Choose it if
- you are an intermediate player who wants a medium-profile teardrop without chasing a professional shape
- you value a forgiving, middle-of-the-road face and core more than raw power
- you can accept a racket that no independent reviewer has tested yet and judge it from the specs
Skip it if
- you want a more maneuverable racket, since this one reads Low and the Dunlop FX Hybrid Team reads Medium
- you are an advanced player who wants the round shape and the Evalastic core of the Hack 02 Advance
- you need proof from court tests before you decide, since this page can only go on the specs
How it plays
Not enough specs yet for a play profile.
- Control Medium, helped by the teardrop shape and the EVA core, held back a little by the fiberglass face.
- Power Medium, with the teardrop shape and the heavy weight class adding some, and the fiberglass face taking some away.
- Comfort Medium, since the EVA core and fiberglass face are soft enough, but the weight works against it.
- Handling Low, because the weight class is heavy and nothing else in the specs offsets that.
- Forgiveness Medium, driven mainly by the teardrop shape.

The Hack Advance 2026 and the Hack 02 Advance are listed as separate sheets, both from 2026. No source here says one replaces the other, and no measured difference between versions is recorded. What the specs show are two different rackets. This one is a teardrop with an EVA core and a fiberglass face, aimed at intermediate players. The Hack 02 Advance is round, with an Evalastic core and a Glaphite face, aimed at advanced players, with a Low balance label. Both are 38 mm thick. The weight ranges also differ slightly: 360 to 375 g here, 365 to 375 g there. Look at the sheet you are buying, not just the name.
Price history
Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night.
Two Bullpadel rackets from 2026 carry Hack and Advance in the name. The Hack 02 Advance is listed as round, and this one is listed as teardrop. That is the first thing to sort out before you buy. This page covers the Hack Advance 2026, nothing else.
Hack Advance 2026 or Hack 02 Advance: two sheets, one name
The Hack Advance 2026 and the Bullpadel Hack 02 Advance are separate entries, both from 2026. Their specs differ on most lines that matter.
This racket has an EVA core, a fiberglass face and a teardrop shape. It is listed for intermediate players. The Hack 02 Advance is listed as round, with an Evalastic core and a Glaphite face. Its level is Advanced, and its balance label is Low. Both are 38 mm thick, and both top out at 375 g.
So a shop listing that says only "Hack Advance" can point at either one. Check the full name before you decide.
Round on the product page, teardrop on the sheet: which shape to believe
The product page text describes a round, oversize racket with a centred balance and a wide sweet spot. That is marketing, not a measurement. The sheet for this racket says teardrop.
The two do not agree. Why the texts differ is not something the sources explain.
Here the specs point to a teardrop, and the meters are built on that. A teardrop usually sits between a round and a diamond. It gives some control and some power, without the demands of a diamond. If you expect a big, round, forgiving head, check the shape again on the box or with the shop.
Intermediate or Advanced: three labels for one racket
A retailer lists the level as Intermediate and the player profile as polivalente, meaning all-round. The product page then says it is for intermediate players in one paragraph and for advanced players in another. Three labels, one racket.
The retailer level, Intermediate, is the one used in the specs here. The medium meters and the fiberglass face fit an intermediate player better than an advanced one. The Hack 04 26 and the Hack 04 Hybrid 26 are listed as professional, with Tricarbon 18K faces and diamond shapes. This one is a step below that.
Fiberglass over EVA, 360 to 375 g: why handling reads Low
The frame is carbon, according to one retailer. The face is fiberglass and the core is EVA. That combination is usually soft and easy to live with. Fiberglass lowers the control and power meters a little, but it raises comfort.
The weight is the catch. The range is 360 to 375 g, which puts the racket in the heavy weight class. That is the only driver behind the Low maneuverability reading. The weight also lowers comfort slightly, because a heavier racket asks more of your arm over a long match.
What can you do about it? Think about how much you volley. If it is a lot, a lighter racket suits you better.
The balance is not published for this racket. The product page claims a centred balance, but that is a claim only.
Next to the Dunlop Impact HL Red and the Dunlop FX Hybrid Team
The Dunlop Impact HL Red is the closest match on paper. It is also a fiberglass teardrop with the same 360 to 375 g range and 38 mm thickness. Its core is EVA super flex and its level is Beginner / Intermediate. Its meters read the same as here, including Low maneuverability.
The Dunlop FX Hybrid Team is listed at 360 g flat, with an EVA Pro core. Its maneuverability reads Medium, so it is the one to look at if the weight bothers you.
Against the Impact HL Red, the Hack Advance 2026 does not separate itself on the meters. Against the FX Hybrid Team, the difference is maneuverability. The frame of this racket is carbon per one retailer, while the frames of the two Dunlops are not in the data.
What the specs cannot tell you about this Hack
No review or rating exists for this racket yet, and it has not been played by the editor. So several things stay open: how stiff it feels, how big the useful hitting area is, and how the weight sits in the hand. The meters are a reading of the specs, not a verdict from the court.
If you try it, test the shape first. Then check the weight against your arm. Those two questions decide whether it suits you.

Questions before you buy
Is the Bullpadel Hack Advance 2026 the same as the Hack 02 Advance?
No. They are separate 2026 sheets with different shape, core, face and level. This one is a teardrop for intermediate players, while the Hack 02 Advance is listed as round and Advanced.
Is the Hack Advance 2026 round or teardrop?
The sheet says teardrop, while the product page text describes a round racket. The two disagree, so check the shape with the shop before you buy.
Is it a good racket for beginners?
It is listed for intermediate players, and the weight class is heavy at 360 to 375 g. The Dunlop Impact HL Red has a similar profile on paper and is listed as Beginner / Intermediate.
Will it be hard on your arm?
The EVA core and fiberglass face point to a medium comfort level. The weight pulls that down a little, and no reviewer has tested it yet, so the arm question stays open.
Is the Hack Advance 2026 worth the money right now?
How heavy is it really?
The brand gives 360 to 375 g. That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range.
