Bullpadel Ionic Power 2025

Three material labels changed between the Bullpadel Ionic Power 2023 and the 2025. The weight, the thickness, the shape and the balance label did not move at all. That is the starting point for this racket.

Same weight, same diamond, new labels: what the 2025 changed against the 2023

Both rackets list 365 to 375 g, a 38 mm profile, a diamond shape, high balance and an advanced level. What differs is the wording of three materials. The face went from carbon and fiberglass to Glaphite. The core went from MultiEVA rubber to MultiEVA. The surface went from rough polygonal 3D Grain to Rough.

What does that tell you? Less than it seems. A changed label is a changed label. The listings cannot show whether the material itself changed, or only how a shop wrote it down. If you are choosing between the two, treat them as very close cousins. You can read the older one on its Ionic Power 2023 page.

Power and control at 90 and 80, says Bullpadel: the meters read Low control

Bullpadel's own rating, found through a search, is Power/Control 90/80. That reads like a racket with plenty of both. The product page says something similar and calls it a mix of power and control.

The spec-based meters disagree on one point. Power reads High. Control reads Low, because the diamond shape and high balance both pull it down. Only the medium core and the carbon-medium face push it up. So the two sources do not match. Treat 80 for control as the brand's own number, not a promise of an easy racket.

Glaphite over MultiEVA: where High power and Low comfort come from

The face is listed as Glaphite and the core as MultiEVA. The meters treat the face as carbon-medium and the core as medium. That combination is not extreme in either direction.

The power comes mostly from the shape, the weight and the balance. The face adds to it. The surface is listed as rough. The comfort comes out Low. The core helps, yet the weight and the balance outweigh it.

365 to 375 g and a high balance: what the heavy diamond asks of your arm

The range is 365 to 375 g. That is heavy. Combined with a high balance, more of the mass sits toward the head. You get extra weight behind every swing. You also get a racket that is harder to swing late.

Not a racket to pick up for a single hard session. It suits an arm that is already used to it. If your elbow or shoulder complains easily, the numbers say to be careful. A shorter session, a warm-up and good timing help. The listed level is Advanced, and the weight is one reason why.

Why the Ionic Power 26 is a different racket, and how the Ionic Control 2025 differs

The Ionic Power 26 keeps the same weight, thickness and balance label. But it is round and listed as Beginner / Intermediate. That is a different racket in character, not a simple update of this one. Do not read it as the next step in a story.

The Ionic Control 2025 is the opposite build within the same year. It has a low balance, a round shape and an Intermediate / Advanced level. Its meters read High control and Low power. If you like the Ionic name but want safety, that is the one to look at.

Missing numbers: what stays unknown about this racket

Several numbers are missing. The balance in mm is not published, only the label High. The head area is not published. The handle and the weight system are not published either, and the frame is unverified. Javi Leal is named as the pro player by a retailer.

That matters for a heavy racket. Two high-balance rackets can feel quite different with a few millimetres between them. Until those numbers appear, the picture is a good outline and not a full one.
