Bullpadel Icon 2025

The Bullpadel Icon 2025 carries two shape labels. The shape spec taken from padelmarket.com says diamond, while the product page says hybrid. That gap matters for a racket with a high balance and 370 to 380 g on the scale. No review has been found yet, so everything below is a reading of the specs.

Diamond or hybrid: two shape labels on one Icon

The shape field on this page says Diamond, based on a manually checked spec from padelmarket.com. The product page tells a different story. It describes a hybrid shape that mixes round and diamond traits and promises a mix of power and control. Treat that as marketing, not measurement.

The diamond label fits the rest of the sheet. A high balance, a heavy build and a carbon face all point the same way. A diamond shape usually puts the weight toward the top of the head. That suits a player who attacks. It is less kind to a player who arrives late at the ball.

Control 2,5, sweet spot 3: Bullpadel's own ratings against the meters

Bullpadel's own ratings, found through a web search, list control at 2,5, sweet spot size at 3 and stiffness at 3. The scale is not stated, so do not read too much into the raw numbers. They are the brand's claims, not test results.

The meters on this page agree with the modest control and sweet spot figures. Control reads low. The dual-density core and the carbon face raise it, but the diamond shape and high balance lower it more. Sweet spot reads low, and the diamond shape is the only driver. The product page's promise of a power and control mix is not what the specs show.

370 to 380 g, high balance and 38 mm: what a heavy head asks of your arm

The racket is listed at 370 to 380 g, so you get a range, not one fixed weight. That is heavy. Add a high balance and the weight sits in the head. In practice, an overhead gets help from the racket, while a quick block at the net asks more of your wrist and forearm.

The balance in millimetres is not published, so "High" is all you have. The thickness is 38 mm and the head area is 534 cm2. The weight system is listed as Custom Weight, but the specs do not say what you can change. If you want to try this racket, check how your arm feels after a long session, not after a few warm-up shots.

Xtend Carbon 12K, dual-density MultiEVA and Vibradrive: where High power and Low comfort come from

The face is Xtend Carbon 12K and the surface is rough. The product page says the rough surface helps spin. That is a claim, but a rough face is at least a real spec. The core is dual-density MultiEVA. The product page says it gives output power and control. On paper, the core is the one part of the build that pulls control and comfort up.

The retailer also lists Vibradrive as the anti-vibration system. That is the name of the feature and nothing more. No source here says how well it damps vibration. The comfort meter reads low because of the weight and the high balance. Do not expect a soft racket just because a damping system is listed.

Icon 2025, Icon 26 and Icon 27: an Advanced label against two Professional ones

The retailer sheet gives this racket the level Advanced. The Icon 26 and the Icon 27 are both labelled Professional. That is the one label that does not carry over. Everything else that is listed stays close: Diamond shape, high balance, 38 mm and Juan Martín Díaz.

The jump from Icon 26 to Icon 27 is better documented. The Icon 27 lists a 3D surface where the Icon 26 lists a rough one, plus a changed frame, handle and weight system. The step from the 2025 to the Icon 26 is shakier, so read it as labels, not as a measured change.

If you like the idea of a head-heavy diamond but want another face, compare the Hack 04 2025 or the Vertex 04 25. Their listed specs are close to this racket's, so the choice comes down to the face and the signature player.

No review, no balance in mm, no frame: what you cannot check

No review exists yet, not even a video. So nobody has reported how the Icon 2025 behaves on court. The balance in millimetres, the frame and the handle are also not published. That leaves gaps in exactly the places where a heavy racket is decided.

What you can do: try it before you buy, or borrow one. Hit overheads, but also hit plenty of slow volleys. That tells you more than the label "Advanced" does.
