[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Bullpadel Ionic Control 2025 is a round, low-balance racket listed at 365 to 375 g and 38 mm thick. On paper it is a control racket with little free power, so the work comes from you. No court test exists yet, and key specs are not published. Treat it as a patient player's racket, not an automatic upgrade for beginners. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 21 October 2026 Choose it if - patience is your game and you build points with placement rather than pace - your strokes are already clean and you want a controlled racket rather than one that adds speed for you - a listed 365 to 375 g with a low balance suits your arm and you want control to come first Skip it if - more power is what you want, because the Bullpadel Ionic Power 2025 has a High power meter and a diamond shape - a bigger sweet spot matters to you, in which case the Tecnifibre Wall Master 370 is listed with a High sweet spot meter - you are new to padel and want a gentler start, so look at the Bullpadel Ionic Control 26, which retailers label Beginner / Intermediate ## How it plays 8.7 **padell.io score 8.7** Play 8.9 (60%) and reviews 8.3 (40%).

The automatic pairing of predecessors is doubtful and may link different models, so this is not a version story. The listed differences are only wording so far. The 2023 has a MultiEVA rubber core, a 100% carbon frame and a 3D Grain surface. The 2025 has a MultiEVA core, a CarbonTube frame and a roughened surface. The 26 has a Graphite face, a 100% carbon frame and a Rough surface. The level labels are Advanced, Intermediate / Advanced and Beginner / Intermediate. Balance, shape, thickness and weight match across all three. Whether the other differences are real changes or different shop wording is not clear. ## Price history Today **€ 86.95** Lowest in 30 days **€ 86.95** vs 30-day average **-7%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. Three Ionic Control listings, three different level labels, and one shared frame of numbers: round head, low balance, 38 mm thick, 365 to 375 g. That is the puzzle with the 2025 model. No review has been found for it, so this page reads the specs and says plainly where they stop. ## Advanced, Intermediate or Beginner: three listings, three labels Retailers label the 2023 Ionic Control Advanced. The 2025 is listed as Intermediate / Advanced on padelmarket.com. The [Ionic Control 26](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/ionic-control-26/) is listed as Beginner / Intermediate. Across those three listings, balance, shape, thickness and weight match. Frame, surface and level wording differ. So what does the label tell you? Not much about measured differences. It comes from retailers and may differ between shops. The automatic link between these listings is also doubtful, so do not read it as a clean upgrade path. Read the build instead. A round, low-balance racket in this [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/) suits a player who already makes clean contact. A listed 365 to 375 g is on the heavy side, which is worth knowing if you are new to the sport. The Ionic family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Power**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/ionic-power-2025/) **Control** ## Round, low and 365 to 375 g: why control is High and power is Low Four things drive the High control meter: the MultiEVA core, the carbon-type face, the [round shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) and the low balance. The same round shape and low balance pull power down to Low. Together they raise control and take away leverage. The weight is the one driver that pulls the other way. The heavy class raises power a little, but it lowers comfort and maneuverability. That is why both land at Medium: the build helps and hurts at once. What does that mean in practice? On paper this racket suits someone who builds a point, not someone who ends it with one shot. You supply the pace. ## Glaphite face, MultiEVA core, CarbonTube frame: what is listed and what the page only claims The retailer lists a Glaphite face, a MultiEVA core and a CarbonTube frame, with a roughened surface. The padelnuestro.com product page describes Glaphite as a blend of fiberglass and carbon fibre. It calls the frame a 100% carbon structure for stiffness and strength. Those are marketing claims, not test results. The same page calls the racket the choice for advanced players. The Intermediate / Advanced label comes from padelmarket.com. Two shops, two wordings. For you, the practical point is simple. A carbon-type face and a medium core are among the drivers of the High control meter. No reviewer has commented on how it feels, so treat feel as unknown. ## Ionic Control 2025 or Ionic Power 2025: the same line, opposite profiles The [Bullpadel Ionic Power 2025](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/ionic-power-2025/) shares the weight range, the 38 mm thickness and the MultiEVA core. Shape, balance and the meters differ. It is a diamond shape with a high balance, and it is listed with Javi Leal. Its meters read High power and Low control, Low comfort and a Low sweet spot. That is a mirror image of the Control. If you put control ahead of power, the Control fits you. If you want power first, the Power does. ## Hack 02 Advance and Kuikma Control Carbon 26: two rackets with the same meters The [Bullpadel Hack 02 Advance](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-02-advance/) has the same five meters as this racket. It is also round, low-balance, 38 mm thick and 365 to 375 g. The core is Evalastic and it is listed as Advanced. The [Kuikma Control Carbon 26](https://padell.io/rackets/kuikma/control-carbon-26/) also matches on the meters. It uses a 12K carbon face and a core listed as EVA. The listed weight is 361 to 375 g, and the level is Professional. Same profile on paper, but different materials and a higher label. ## What the listings leave out Head size, the balance in millimetres and the handle are not published for this racket. The weight system is unverified, and no reviews exist. That matters. Balance in mm would show how low the low balance really is, and head size would tell you more about the sweet spot. Until a court test appears, the meters are a reading of the listed build, nothing more. If you can try it before buying, do that.

The listed 365 to 375 g is on the heavy side. A beginner who wants a gentler start could look at the Ionic Control 26, which is labelled Beginner / Intermediate. **Is it the same racket as the 2023 or the 26?** Not exactly. Balance, shape, thickness and weight match, but the listed frame, surface and level labels differ. It is unclear whether those are real changes or different wording. **Does it give a lot of power?** No. On paper, power is Low because of the round shape and low balance. You get control and placement, and you supply the pace. **Is it hard on the arm?** No reviewer has commented. The specs suggest medium comfort: the MultiEVA core helps, while the listed weight of 365 to 375 g works against it. **Is the Ionic Control 2025 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Good value" compared with the rackets that play most alike. **What is the closest alternative?** The Bullpadel Hack 02 Advance plays most alike. On paper the differences are under one point. [Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/bullpadel-hack-02-advance-vs-bullpadel-ionic-control-2025/) **Who should not buy it?** Skip it if you want easy power for smashes (power 4.0/10), or if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 5.5/10). **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/)
