Bullpadel Vertex 05 26 Woman

One label separates the Bullpadel Vertex 05 26 Woman from its 2027 successor. The balance moves from Medium-High to Medium. Everything else listed is the same. No reviewer has published a test of this racket yet, so what follows comes from the specs and the way they usually behave on court. It has not been played for this page.

Medium-High in 2026, Medium in 2027: the one label that moved

The Bullpadel Vertex 05 27 Woman keeps the same core, face, shape, head area, thickness, weight range and Delfi Brea link. Only the balance label differs. The 2027 page also publishes a number: 265 mm. For the 2026 racket, the balance in millimetres is not published, so you cannot compare the two numerically.

That matters. A changed label is not proof that the racket was reworked. It may be a different way of describing the same frame. If the balance really moved, the 2027 version would sit a little less towards the head. Treat that as a guess, not a measurement.

Light on the scale, high on balance: why maneuverability reads Low at 350 to 360 g

This racket weighs 350 to 360 g. That is not heavy. You might expect it to be quick in the hand. The meters say otherwise: maneuverability reads Low. Two things cause that, the diamond shape and the Medium-High balance. Both lower the reading, whatever the number on the scale says.

In practice, volleys and fast exchanges at the net ask for early preparation. Not a lazy wrist, but a ready one. The head is 530 cm2 and 38 mm thick. The weight system is unverified, so do not count on adding or moving weight to change this.

Lightweight and agile, says the product page: the meters read High power and Low sweet spot

The product page calls the racket lightweight, agile and reactive for advanced players, with attack and defence in balance. That is the shop's marketing claim, and it does not match the spec-based meters. Those give High power, Low control, Low maneuverability and Low sweet spot.

The weight is the one part of the pitch that holds. The rest sounds like a general-purpose racket, while the specs describe an attacking diamond. If you need something that forgives every mistake, this is not it.

Bullpadel's own ratings against the meters: a power reading of 1,5 next to High

Bullpadel's own ratings, found through a web search, list Potencia 1,5, Estabilidad 3, Maniobrabilidad 4, Control 2,5, punto dulce 4 and Rigidez 2. Read them as the brand's view, not as measurements. The scale is not stated, but the numbers seem to rate power low and maneuverability and sweet spot size higher.

The meters here say the opposite on all three: High power, Low maneuverability, Low sweet spot. The sources disagree, and you should know that. The meters are built from shape, face, core and balance. The brand's numbers may follow a different scale. Until a tester plays it, you cannot settle the question.

Fibrix and MultiEVA: what a fiberglass face does on a diamond

The face is Fibrix, which the meters treat as fiberglass. The core is MultiEVA. The frame is carbon, according to one retailer. The surface is rough, and the product page claims that helps with spin.

In the meters, the fiberglass face pulls control and power down a little but raises comfort. On a diamond, that mix softens an otherwise hard-hitting shape. It is why comfort reads Medium, not Low as on the carbon siblings. The handle details are not published.

Vertex 05 26 Woman, Vertex 05 26 or Vertex 04 25 Women's: which Vertex to look at

The Vertex 05 26 is a diamond too, but heavier at 365 to 375 g, with a Real Carbon 12K face. Its comfort reads Low. You get more mass behind the ball and a harder face.

The Vertex 04 25 Women's is listed at 350 to 370 g, with a published balance of 255 mm. Its meters read Medium for control, power and maneuverability, and High for comfort. It is the calmer choice.

If you want power from a lighter frame, this racket fits. If you want ease, look at the 04.
