Bullpadel Pearl 2026

Bullpadel rates the Pearl 2026 at 9.5 out of 10 for power. It gives control 8 out of 10. That is a bold pair for a diamond with a 531 cm2 head. Those are the brand's own numbers. This page checks them against the specs and the one court test available.

9.5 for power, 8 for control: Bullpadel's own ratings against the meters

The brand pitch is clear. Power in the smash, control in defence, and a racket made for expert players with an aggressive playing style, according to the product page. The page also says it keeps great maneuverability. All of that is a claim, not a measurement.

The meters tell a calmer story. Power is Medium, control is Low, maneuverability is Low and the sweet spot is Low. Only comfort sits in the middle, also at Medium. So the brand's 8 out of 10 for control does not carry over to the spec sheet. Read the Pearl as an attacking diamond that needs a good hand, not as an all-rounder.

Fibrix face, MultiEVA core: where Medium power comes from on a diamond

A diamond shape normally raises power, and here the meter agrees. The face pulls the other way. Fibrix is listed as a fiberglass-based face, and the meters treat that as lowering power. The frame is listed as 100% carbon.

The core is MultiEVA, which Bullpadel describes as two layers of EVA with different densities. The surface is listed as Rough, which gives some grip on the ball for spin. Thickness is 38 mm.

The result is a racket that gives you power without being stiff. You still have to swing. Not a racket that does the work for you, but one that responds when you do.

355 to 365 g at 260 mm: why handling reads Low despite the modest weight

The weight range is 355 to 365 g. The balance is 260 mm, listed as high, so the head carries more of that weight.

The product page says the racket stays very maneuverable. On paper the specs suggest something else. A head-heavy diamond swings with momentum, and that helps at the smash but is slower at the net. The meter reads Low for that reason.

The weight system is listed as Custom Weight. How it works is not published here. The listed range of 355 to 365 g is what you can rely on. If your arm tires easily, the lower end of that range is the safer choice.

76 out of 100 from padel.how: easy power, little room for off-centre hits

There is one review for this racket, and it gives 76 out of 100. The reviewer liked the accessible power and the efficient flat strokes. Net handling was called quick and reactive, which is a point where the reviewer and the maneuverability meter differ.

The downside was forgiveness. The reviewer noted limited forgiveness when the ball hits high on the face. That fits the Low sweet spot meter. Control, comfort and sweet spot were all rated neutral.

With one source, treat this as a first opinion. It does match the specs on the main point: the Pearl rewards a clean, flat hit.

Pearl 2026 or Pearl 2027: 531 cm2 and a rough surface against 535 cm2 and 3D Grain

The Pearl 2027 is the successor. Two things changed in the listings: the head grows from 531 to 535 cm2, and the surface goes from Rough to 3D Grain. Shape, core, face, balance, thickness, weight and level are the same. Frame and handle are not known for the 2027. A direct comparison shows both side by side.

Pearl 2026, Hack 05 Comfort 27 or Kuikma Power Boost: picking your diamond

The Hack 05 Comfort 27 is also a Bullpadel diamond with MultiEVA and Fibrix. It is listed for Professional players and weighs 360 to 370 g, with High power on the meter. The Kuikma Power Boost is a fiberglass and EVA diamond at 360 g, also with High power.

All three have a Low sweet spot. So if you want more power from a diamond, the other two look stronger on paper. If you want the Pearl's lower weight and the Advanced rating, this is the one.
