This is a diamond-shaped Bullpadel with a Fibrix face and a Medium balance. It lists 350 to 360 g, against 365 to 375 g for the carbon Vertex 05 siblings. Bullpadel pitches it at offensive players. The catch: no reviews exist yet, and the meters still read low for control and sweet spot.
RBy Ruud Caris · facts checked 14 October 2026Choose it if
- you are an advanced player who attacks and wants a diamond head without the 365 to 375 g of the carbon Vertex 05 models
- you want a balance label of Medium instead of the High of the Vertex 05 26
- you follow Delfi Brea, the pro player attached to this racket, and accept a diamond head that needs clean contact
Skip it if
- you want a racket with higher comfort and easier handling, in which case the Dunlop Tristorm Lite 2025 reads High for comfort and Medium for maneuverability
- you want power from a carbon face, as the Bullpadel Vertex 05 26 reads High for power
- you want a larger sweet spot, because a diamond shape keeps that meter low
How it plays
Line = the average of all rackets ▲ above ▼ below
On paper this is an attacking diamond with a lower listed weight and a fiberglass-treated face.
- Control Reads low, because the diamond shape and fiberglass face outweigh the help from the medium balance and the MultiEVA core.
- Power Medium, since the diamond head adds drive while the fiberglass face holds it back.
- Comfort Medium, helped by the MultiEVA core and the fiberglass face.
- Handling Reads low because of the diamond shape, even with a medium balance.
- Forgiveness Low, a typical trait of a diamond head, so contact needs to be accurate.

Light is in the name. But the meters still read low for maneuverability. So what does the label actually change? Not the shape, and not the level. Mostly the weight and the face.
No reviews exist for this racket yet. Everything below comes from the specs and from how it sits next to its siblings. Treat it as a reading of the paper, not a court report.
350 to 360 g against 365 to 375 g: how light the Light really is
The Vertex 05 26, the Geo 26 and the Hybrid 26 all list 365 to 375 g. This racket lists 350 to 360 g. The gap is 15 g.
Bullpadel says the Light is the most manageable version in its Premier Padel 2026 range. It aims the racket at offensive players who want less fatigue. That is a brand claim, not a measured result.
The listed weight is a range, so the racket you receive can sit at either end. Check the weight when you buy if you can.
Fibrix instead of carbon: why power settles at Medium here
The face is Fibrix, which the meters treat as fiberglass. The Vertex 05 26 reads High for power. This one reads Medium. The diamond shape pushes power up, but the fiberglass treatment pulls it back down.
Comfort reads Medium, with the MultiEVA core and the fiberglass face both pushing it up. The surface is listed as rough. That usually points to grip on the ball for spin, though no source here measures it.
A diamond head that keeps control and sweet spot Low
Diamond is the shape that sits furthest toward attack. Here it lowers control, maneuverability and sweet spot. The medium balance and the MultiEVA core help control a little, but not enough to lift the meter.
What does that mean for you? Off-center hits will probably cost you more than on a round racket. Not a racket that saves a poor contact, but one that rewards a good one. If your timing is uneven, a lower weight will not fix that.
The fix is simple: pick it only if your technique is steady. Otherwise look at the Dunlop Tristorm Lite 2025. It is also a diamond, at 350 g, and its sweet spot is Low too. But it is listed for beginner and intermediate players, and its meters read High for comfort and Medium for maneuverability.
Light Premier, Vertex 05 Woman or Hybrid: the 2026 Vertex family sorted
The closest relative is the Vertex 05 26 Woman. It shares the 350 to 360 g weight, the Fibrix face, Delfi Brea and the diamond shape. Its balance is listed as Medium-High, against Medium here, and its power meter reads High while this one reads Medium. The listed specs do not explain that difference, so compare the two before you choose.
The Vertex 05 Hybrid 26 has a Medium balance like this one. But it weighs 365 to 375 g, has a 12K carbon face and a hybrid shape. Its control meter reads Medium. If control matters more to you than weight, that is the one to check.
The Vertex 05 26 and the Geo 26 go the other way: high balance, 365 to 375 g, carbon faces, High power, Low comfort.
Delfi Brea's racket for an advanced arm: what the label asks of you
The level is listed as Advanced, and the product page says it suits advanced and professional players. Delfi Brea is the pro player attached to this model. That tells you the target, not how the racket behaves.
Advanced here means timing and a full swing. Lower listed weight does not mean easier. Bullpadel claims the reduced weight brings faster reactions and less fatigue. That is the brand's view, and no review has tested it yet.
No reviews, no balance in mm: what the specs cannot tell you
No balance measurement in millimetres is published for this racket. The balance is only a label, Medium, from a retailer. Two rackets with the same label can balance quite differently in the hand.
The thickness is also not listed for this racket, although its siblings list 38 mm. Do not assume it matches.
Without a tested review, you cannot know how stiff the face is, how vibration behaves or how big the usable hitting area is. If you can, try it before you commit.

Questions before you buy
How is the Light Premier different from the Vertex 05 26?
It lists 350 to 360 g against 365 to 375 g, and the balance label is Medium instead of High. The face is Fibrix, treated as fiberglass in the meters, instead of Real Carbon 12K. The power meter drops from High to Medium.
Is it a racket for beginners?
No. It is listed for advanced players, and the diamond shape keeps control and sweet spot low. The Dunlop Tristorm Lite 2025 reads higher for comfort and is listed for beginner and intermediate players, but it is still a diamond.
Is it the same as the Vertex 05 26 Woman?
Not quite. Weight, face, shape and Delfi Brea are the same. The balance label differs: Medium here, Medium-High on the Woman version. The Woman version's power meter reads High, this one Medium.
Will it be kind to your arm?
On paper, the MultiEVA core and fiberglass-treated face give a Medium comfort reading, above the Low of the carbon siblings. No review has confirmed it on court yet.
