[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer This is the hybrid in Bullpadel's Vertex 05 family, with a medium balance and a listed weight of 365 to 375 g. On paper it sits between control and power, but it is heavy and rated Low for comfort and maneuverability. No review exists yet, so treat it as a spec sheet. It suits Advanced players with a sturdy arm. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you are an Advanced player who wants the Vertex 05 name but a hybrid shape instead of a diamond - you prefer a medium balance to a head-heavy one and a 12K carbon face with a MultiEVA core - you are used to a racket of 365 to 375 g and your arm copes with that load Skip it if - you want clear power from a diamond, in which case the Bullpadel Vertex 05 26 with its high balance fits better - your elbow or shoulder complains easily, because the Oxdog Pure Tour X 2026 has a Medium comfort meter against Low here - you are still a beginner or intermediate, where the Dunlop Nanomax Pro is listed for your level ## How it plays 7.8 **padell.io score 7.8** Play 7.6 (60%) and reviews 8.0 (40%).

The only change in the listings is the face wording, from Xtend Carbon 12K to 12K carbon. That is a changed label, not a measured change. Many other 04 specs are unknown, so a fuller comparison is not possible. The [Vertex 05 Hybrid 27](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-05-hybrid-27/) lists the same weight, core, shape and thickness, but a Professional level and a Rough surface. The link between it and this racket is doubtful, so do not treat it as a version story. Look at this 2026 listing on its own, and check the 2027 page separately. ## Price history Today **€ 224.90** Lowest in 30 days **€ 200.00** vs 30-day average **+3%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. Several Bullpadel rackets from 2026 carry the name Vertex 05, and only this one is a hybrid with a medium balance. That matters, because the name suggests one type of racket and the specs describe two. ## Vertex 05 in name, hybrid in shape: how this one differs from its diamond siblings The same-year [Vertex 05 26](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-05-26/), [Vertex 05 Geo 26](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-05-geo-26/) and [Vertex 05 26 Woman](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-05-26-woman/) are all diamonds. Their balance label is High or Medium-High, and their power meter reads High. This racket is a hybrid with a Medium balance label, and its power meter reads Medium. So the difference is not a small trim change. It is a different kind of racket under one family name. If you want the attacking diamond, this is not it. If you want something rounder in behaviour and easier to place, this is the one to look at. Check the exact name before you order. The Vertex family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**05 Geo 26**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-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** [**05 Light Premier Delfi Brea**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/vertex-05-light-premier-2026-delfi-brea/) ## 365 to 375 g at medium balance: what a heavy hybrid asks of your arm The listed weight is 365 to 375 g, with a thickness of 38 mm. That is heavy. The weight system is not published, so you do not know how the mass is spread through the frame or handle. What do you notice? Weight gives stability and some free power on blocks and volleys. It also costs speed in your hands and adds load to your arm over a long match. That is why the comfort and maneuverability meters both read Low. A medium balance helps a little, because the mass is not pulled toward the head. The balance in millimetres is not published, though, so it stays a label only. If you are not used to this weight, the first hour is the test. ## Power 2, control 4, maneuverability 4: Bullpadel's ratings against the Low meters The brand's own ratings, found through a web search, are Power 2, Stability 3.5, Maneuverability 4, Control 4, Sweet spot size 4 and Rigidity 3. These are Bullpadel's claims, not measurements. They clash with the meters on this page. Bullpadel rates maneuverability and sweet spot size at 4, while the specs-based meters say Low for both. Which is right? Nobody has published a test, so both stay unverified. The control rating of 4 and the low power rating of 2 do fit the idea of a controlling hybrid. The meters call both Medium. ## 12K carbon over MultiEVA: why control and power both read Medium The face is listed as 12K carbon and the core as MultiEVA. The surface is listed as Rough Top Skin. Retailers publish these, and no source has measured them. On paper, each element pushes both control and power up a notch: the carbon face, the hybrid shape and, for control, the medium balance. Power also gets help from the weight. The result is a racket that sits in the middle on both meters. It is not a control tool and not a power tool. The product page claims the racket balances control and power, and the specs agree with that, though a claim is not a test. ## Advanced level from one retailer, and the gaps you cannot check No review has been found for this racket, so everything here comes from specs. Head size, frame, handle and weight system are not published, and neither is the balance in millimetres. The level, Advanced, comes from one retailer. The product page speaks of expert adult players. The missing head size matters most, because it sets how forgiving the racket is. Until a test appears, the low sweet spot meter is a caution rather than a finding. If you can, try a demo racket first. ## Vertex 05 Hybrid 26, Oxdog Pure Tour X 2026 or Siux Diablo Revolution Lite 3: picking your heavy hybrid The [Oxdog Pure Tour X 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/pure-tour-x-2026/) is a hybrid at 365 g with a Medium balance label. Its comfort and sweet spot meters read Medium, so on paper it is gentler. It uses an 8K carbon face and is listed for Intermediate and Advanced players. The [Siux Diablo Revolution Lite 3](https://padell.io/rackets/siux/diablo-revolution-lite-3/) is close on paper: hybrid, 12K carbon, 38 mm, Advanced, with a weight of 355 to 375 g. Its meters match this racket exactly. The core is listed as plain EVA. Pick this Bullpadel if the Vertex family or a heavier, steadier racket is what you want. Pick the [Oxdog](https://padell.io/brands/oxdog/) if arm comfort worries you.

This one is a hybrid with a Medium balance label and a Medium power meter. **Is the Vertex 05 Hybrid 27 an updated version of this racket?** Not safely. The 2027 listing shows a Professional level against Advanced here, and the link between the two is doubtful. The weight, core, face and shape listings are the same. **Is it kind to your arm?** On paper, not especially. The comfort meter reads Low, mostly because of the 365 to 375 g weight. No review confirms this either way, so a demo is worth trying if your arm is sensitive. **Is it a good racket for beginners?** Probably not. A retailer lists it for Advanced players, and it is heavy with a low sweet spot meter. The Dunlop Nanomax Pro is listed for beginner and intermediate players. **Is the Vertex 05 Hybrid 26 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Pricey today" 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 Dunlop Nanomax Pro plays most alike. On paper the differences are under one point. Today: € 89.95. [Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/dunlop-nanomax-pro-vs-bullpadel-vertex-05-hybrid-26/) **Who should not buy it?** Skip it if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 5.0/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (5.0/10). **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/)
