[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Bullpadel Vertex 05 Geo 26 is a diamond-shaped racket tied to Pablo Cardona, listed at 365 to 375 g with a high balance. Its one review, from padel.how, praised the directional control. The meters still read low for control and comfort. Balance in mm and head size are not published, so check those before you commit. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you are an advanced player who finishes points with smashes and does not need a forgiving frame - you hit clean, consistent contact and want a racket that rewards that with direction - you already like head-heavy diamonds and want a Bullpadel option linked to a pro player Skip it if - you are still building technique, because this diamond is listed as Advanced and its sweet spot reads Low - you have a sensitive elbow or shoulder and want a comfortable racket, since the Babolat Viper Juan Lebrón 2025 reads Medium for comfort against Low here - you want a quick racket for blocks and fast exchanges at the net, because maneuverability reads Low ## How it plays 8.5 **padell.io score 8.5** Play 8.5 (60%) and reviews 8.4 (40%).

The listed face, frame, shape and level differ: X Tend Carbon 3K against 3K carbon, a hybrid shape against a diamond, and Advanced / Professional against Advanced. The link between the two is doubtful, so a changed label is not proof of a rebuilt racket. Look at the Geo 27 as a neighbour, not a proven update.

It praised directional control on attacking strokes and composed power, and warned that the racket demands consistent technique and clean contact. It names advanced players as the target. There is no second review to agree or disagree, so no disagreement exists yet. The meters, which come from specs, read lower for control, comfort and sweet spot than the review does. [**padel.how** 7.8 Best for Advanced players seeking controlled attacking platform with precision. Read the full review →](https://padel.how/equipment/racket/bullpadel-vertex-05-geo-2026-review/) This is a diamond racket tied to Pablo Cardona, and its one reviewer still praises its control. That sounds like a contradiction. It is not quite one, and this page sorts out why. ## Geo 26, Geo 27 and Vertex 05 26: three names, one family look The names are easy to mix up. This page is about the Geo 26 from 2026. The plain [Vertex 05 26](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-05-26/) is a different racket: it has a 12K carbon face and is linked to Juan Tello, not Pablo Cardona. The Geo 26 has a 3K carbon face. Then there is the [Vertex 05 Geo 27](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-05-geo-27/). It is listed with the same weight, thickness, core and balance label. The listed shape, face, frame and level differ. More on that further down. The Vertex family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) **05 Geo 26** [**05 26**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-05-26/) [**Advance**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-advance/) [**05 26 Woman**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-05-26-woman/) [**05 W Cloud 26**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-05-w-cloud-26/) [**05 Hybrid 26**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-05-hybrid-26/) [**05 Light Premier Delfi Brea**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-05-light-premier-2026-delfi-brea/) ## 78 out of 100 from padel.how: praised control on a diamond that reads Low Padel.how is the only source here, and it played the racket. It gave 78 out of 100. Its testers liked the directional control on attacking strokes and found the power composed under acceleration. They rated sweet spot positive and comfort neutral. They also warned that the racket demands consistent technique and clean contact. That explains the gap with the meters. Control reads Low because a [diamond shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) and a high balance usually make a racket harder to steer. The review says an advanced player can still steer it well. Both can be true. Control here is something you earn with good contact, not something the racket hands you. One review is a thin base. Treat it as a good pointer, not a settled view. ## Geometric Shape frame and 3K carbon: what Bullpadel claims against the meters The product page says the Geometric Shape frame widens the contact area at key positions of the head. It claims this raises the launch angle and adds power to smashes. It also claims a double diagonal bridge improves stability and precision. These are the brand's claims, not measurements. The listing gives a 3K carbon face and a MultiEVA core. In the meters, the core helps control a little and the face helps comfort. Weight and balance pull both back down. The sweet spot reads Low, which fits a diamond more than a frame that claims a bigger contact area. Expect the claim to show up, if at all, as a modest effect. An anti-vibration handle system, called Hesacore-Griffsystem by a retailer, is also listed. How much it calms the racket is not measured in any source. ## 365 to 375 g with a high balance: what the heavy head asks of your arm The [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/) is 365 to 375 g, and the balance label is high. That is heavy, with the mass pushed toward the head. Not a racket for casual weekend swings. On court that means momentum on overheads and smashes. It also means a slower racket in the fast exchanges at the net, and more load on your elbow and shoulder over a long match. The comfort meter reads Low for this reason. If your arm tires early, you can play shorter sessions or choose something lighter instead. Weight is listed as a range, so the exact racket you get can differ within it. Thickness is 38 mm. ## Listed as Advanced, with key specs missing The retailer lists the level as Advanced and describes the player profile as offensive-minded players. The product page says it is designed for expert adult players seeking professional performance. Padel.how also pointed to advanced players wanting a controlled attacking platform. If you hit the ball cleanly most of the time and like to finish points, this is the audience. If your contact point wanders, the low sweet spot will punish you. Several specs are not published: balance in mm, head size, handle and weight system. The surface is unverified. That matters, because balance in mm tells you how head-heavy it really is. The Geo 27 lists 260 mm, but that is a different listing, so do not carry the number across. If you can, hold one before buying and notice how the head feels when you swing slowly. ## Vertex 05 Geo 26, Ionic Power 2023 or Wilson Bela Pro V2.5: picking your head-heavy diamond The [Bullpadel Ionic Power 2023](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/ionic-power-2023/) is close on paper. It has the same weight range, the same 38 mm, the same Advanced level and the same Low meters. The [Wilson Bela Pro Padel V2.5](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/bela-pro-padel-v2-5/) is also a high-balance diamond with a 3K carbon face. It is listed as Professional and goes up to 380 g. The three sit very close together. Choose by the name on the handle and the face material you prefer. Then pick the one that feels right in your hand. Do not expect large differences in the meters.

The Geo 26 has a 3K carbon face and is linked to Pablo Cardona. **Is the Geo 27 a new version of this racket?** Not proven. The Geo 27 lists a hybrid shape and a different face and frame, but the link is doubtful. Treat it as a related racket. **Is it good for beginners?** No. It is listed as Advanced, weighs 365 to 375 g and has a high balance. The one reviewer says it demands clean contact. **Is it hard on the arm?** On paper, likely. Comfort reads Low because of weight and head-heavy balance. The review rated comfort neutral, so it is not a clear verdict. **Is the Vertex 05 Geo 26 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Good value" 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.

[Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/bullpadel-ionic-power-2023-vs-bullpadel-vertex-05-geo-26/) **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 5.0/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (4.0/10). **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/)
