Bullpadel Vertex 05 27 Woman

The Bullpadel Vertex 05 27 Woman carries a famous name and a world-class player's signature. Compared to last year, exactly one line on the spec sheet changed. That line is the balance. Everything else, from the diamond shape to the 350 to 360 g weight, stayed put. No independent reviewer has tested this racket yet, so what follows is a careful reading of the specs, not on-court experience.

One change from last year: the balance dropped a notch

The 2026 Vertex 05 Woman was listed with a Medium-High balance. The 2027 version is listed as Medium, measured at 265 mm by one retailer. Core, face, shape, weight range, level and even the pro player are identical between the two years.

What does that mean on court? A lower balance moves weight toward the handle. The racket should come around a little quicker and feel less top-heavy on smashes. It is a label change from retailers, not a measured redesign, so treat it as a direction, not a revolution. If you want to be sure, compare the two versions side by side.

A lighter take on the diamond idea

The head is a diamond, listed at 530 cm2, with a 38 mm profile. That shape is built for attacking play. It concentrates mass where you hit overheads.

The weight range is 350 to 360 g. That is light for a diamond racket. The other 2027 Vertex 05 models run 365 to 375 g. Read together, the specs suggest the goal was to keep the attacking geometry while cutting the weight. Shops also list a 3-gram carbon plate system as its weight system. What it adjusts is not described.

Shops list the level as Advanced / Competition, and Delfi Brea as the linked player. That fits. This is not a beginner's racket, whatever the softer balance suggests.

The soft face in a carbon family

The face is Fibrix, Bullpadel's fiberglass blend, over a Multieva core. Fiberglass flexes more than carbon. You get a softer touch, more help on slow balls and a friendlier feel on mishits. The trade-off is less crispness and less raw power than carbon.

That matters because the rest of the 2027 Vertex line went the other way. The standard Vertex 05 27 uses X Tend Carbon 12k, the Geo uses X Tend Carbon 3k and the Hybrid uses Carbon 12k. The Woman is the only one on fiberglass. If your arm complains after long sessions, this is the gentlest build in the family, on paper. The surface is rough, which helps you grip the ball for spin.

What the meters warn you about

The profile meters are honest about the downsides. Control reads Low: the diamond shape and the fiberglass face both pull it down, and the medium balance only partly lifts it. Maneuverability also reads Low, for the same reason. The sweet spot reads Low too. Diamond rackets punish off-center contact, and no spec here changes that.

Power lands at Medium, not High. The shape pushes up, the face pulls down. Comfort sits at Medium as well, the one area where the soft materials clearly help.

Put plainly: this racket asks you to hit the ball well, and in return it gives you a lighter, slightly softer attacking tool. Not a forgiving one, but a manageable one for its category.

What Bullpadel says, and what the spec sheet backs

Bullpadel's product page presents this racket as light and agile, developed with Delfi Brea. It mentions technologies like Top Spin and Curvaktiv for power, control and agility. Treat those as marketing, not measurements. The lightweight part holds up: 350 to 360 g is genuinely light for a diamond. The control story is harder to square with a Low control reading from the specs. A retailer also lists the player profile as All-round.

Picking your Vertex 05 27

Within the 2027 family, the choice is mostly about weight and face. The Woman is the lightest and the only fiberglass one. The standard Vertex 05 27 is heavier, carbon-faced and rated for professional play, with High power. The Geo is a hybrid shape with a high balance, linked to Pablo Cardona. The Hybrid 27 is carbon-faced with the same 265 mm balance as the Woman but 365 to 375 g.

Outside the family, the Bullpadel Flow Legend Woman shares the Multieva and Fibrix recipe at the same weight, but with a high balance and High power. If the medium balance here reads as a compromise to you, that is the more aggressive alternative.
