[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Vertex 04 25 is a diamond-shaped, high-balance Bullpadel at 365 to 375 g, linked to Juan Tello. On paper it is built for power, and the specs point to low control, comfort and sweet spot. No reviews exist yet, so this is a reading of the specs. It is not a racket for a developing arm. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you already hit hard and want a racket that adds to it instead of calming it down - you already play an attacking, power-based game, which matches the Power player profile listed for it - your arm and shoulder handle 365 to 375 g with a high balance week after week Skip it if - you are moving up from intermediate level, where the Oxdog Ultimate Pro Smash 2026, listed for Intermediate / Advanced, is a closer step - you have a sore elbow or shoulder, because comfort reads low on paper - you want a lighter, softer-reading Vertex, such as the Bullpadel Vertex 04 25 Women's at 350 to 370 g ## How it plays 7.9 **padell.io score 7.9** Play 7.9 (60%) and reviews 8.0 (40%).

The changes are in the labels. The core goes from MultiEVA rubber to MultiEVA. The face goes from Xtend Carbon 12K to 12K carbon. The level goes from Advanced to Advanced / Professional. A changed label is not a measured change. For a real choice, put the 2024 racket and the 2025 racket side by side and compare the specs you can check. The weight range, balance label, shape and thickness match. ## Price history Today **€ 144.95** Lowest in 30 days **€ 135.41** vs 30-day average **+2%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. Put the [Vertex 04](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-04/) from 2024 next to the Vertex 04 25. The weight, the balance label, the [diamond shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) and the 38 mm thickness do not move at all. What moved is the wording. If you are deciding between the two, that matters more than the new year on the name. There are no reviews of this racket yet. Everything below comes from the specs, so read it as an informed reading of the numbers and not as a court report. ## Same weight, same shape, new wording The [Vertex 04 from 2024](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-04/) lists a MultiEVA rubber core and an Xtend Carbon 12K face. The 2025 listing says MultiEVA and 12K carbon. The frame now reads CarbonTube in 100% carbon, and the level reads Advanced / Professional instead of Advanced. These are different labels. Nothing in the specs shows a different material or a measured change. So treat the 2025 as the same racket family with a rewritten label. Do not expect a different feel because the face is described differently. The Vertex family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) **04 25** [**04 Hybrid 25**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-04-hybrid-25/) [**04 25 Women's**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-04-25-women-s/) ## 365 to 375 g with a Custom Weight system The [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/) is 365 to 375 g. That is heavy. Heavy rackets carry momentum through the ball, which helps a smash. They also tire the arm in a long match and are slower to bring up in a fast exchange at the net. The racket has a Custom Weight system. The product page claims it lets you change the balance with weight plates. That could help you tune it, but the page gives no figures, so you cannot tell how far the balance moves. If you try it, change one thing at a time. ## Diamond, high balance, 530 cm2 Why does only power read High? Because every driver for power points up. The face is 12K carbon, the shape is a diamond, the weight is heavy and the balance is high. The head area is listed at 530 cm2, and the face has a rough surface. The same traits lower the rest. A diamond shape and a high balance mean less control and a smaller sweet spot. The weight and balance also make the racket slower to move and harder on the arm. The MultiEVA core and carbon face raise control and comfort a little, but not enough to change the picture. Not a flaw, but a trade. You get power and you pay with margin for error. You can reduce that cost by choosing your shots: attack when you are set, and use blocks and lobs when you are stretched. ## Advanced / Professional on the label The listing says Advanced / Professional. That is a clear signal. A high-balance diamond asks you to meet the ball early and cleanly, every time. Late contact or off-centre hits will feel harsh on a racket like this. Your arm matters as much as your technique. If you play several times a week and already feel your elbow, a heavy racket with a high balance adds load. Not for beginners, and not for anyone coming back from an arm problem. ## Juan Tello and a missing balance figure Juan Tello is named as the pro player linked to this racket, and the product page says it is his choice. That tells you the intended use: a hard-hitting player. It does not tell you how the racket behaves for a club player. One spec is missing. The balance is labelled High, but the balance in millimetres is not published, so you cannot compare it with another racket on the number. The Vertex 04 25 Women's lists 255 mm, but that is a different racket. Do not carry it over. ## Vertex 04 25, Hack 04 2025 or Oxdog Ultimate Pro Smash The [Bullpadel Hack 04 2025](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-04-2025/) has the same weight range, the same balance label and the same diamond shape. Its face is Tricarbon, it is listed as Professional, and its pro player is Paquito Navarro. The meters match this racket, so the choice comes down to the label and the player you follow. The [Oxdog Ultimate Pro Smash 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-pro-smash-2026/) is also a high-balance diamond, listed at 370 g and Intermediate / Advanced. It is a possible step for a player who is not yet at the level this Bullpadel asks for. If you want the newer Vertex, look at the [Vertex 05 26](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-05-26/). Its listed face and surface wording differ, but the weight, balance label and shape match this racket.

Weight, balance label, shape, surface and thickness match. The core, face and level are worded differently, which is a changed label and not proof of a changed build. **Is the Vertex 04 25 good for intermediate players?** It is listed as Advanced / Professional, and the meters read low for control, comfort and sweet spot. An intermediate player will find it demanding. The Oxdog Ultimate Pro Smash 2026 is listed for Intermediate / Advanced. **Is it hard on the arm?** On paper, yes. At 365 to 375 g with a high balance, comfort reads low. If your elbow or shoulder is sensitive, a lighter racket is the safer choice. **How does it compare with the Hack 04 2025?** The specs are close: same weight range, balance label and diamond shape. The Hack uses a Tricarbon face and is linked to Paquito Navarro, while this Vertex is linked to Juan Tello. **Is the Vertex 04 25 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Fair price" compared with the rackets that play most alike. Which shops deliver, and what shipping costs, depends on your country. The price comparison shows it for yours. See all prices **What is the closest alternative?** The Bullpadel Hack 04 2025 plays most alike. On paper the differences are under one point. Today: € 159.90. [Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/bullpadel-vertex-04-25-vs-bullpadel-hack-04-2025/) **Who should not buy it?** Skip it if you rely on placement and long rallies (control 4.0/10), or if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 4.5/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (3.5/10). **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/)
