[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Bullpadel Xplo 25 is a heavy hybrid for advanced players, listed at 365 to 375 g with a 265 mm balance. No review of it exists yet, so this is a reading of the specs. On paper it suits an attacking player with a strong arm. Comfort and manoeuvrability both read low, so it is not a racket to pick up casually. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you are an advanced player who attacks and wants power from a hybrid shape rather than a pure diamond - your arm is conditioned for a heavy racket and you accept low comfort in return - carbon 12K and a 38 mm profile matter to you, with Martin Di Nenno attached to the racket Skip it if - you want a quick racket at the net, since maneuverability reads low here - you want power that reads high on paper, because the Bullpadel Hack 04 Hybrid 25 does that with the same weight range - you have had arm trouble before and want the Bullpadel XPLO Comfort 25, which reads medium for comfort ## How it plays 7.2 **padell.io score 7.2** Play 7.6 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%). No independent reviews found yet, so that part starts low.

It is listed as Diamond and Professional, but the link between the two is doubtful, so a label change should not be read as a redesign. The 2027 listings differ more clearly. The Xplo 02 27 lists 507 cm2, 270 mm and 3K carbon. If you want the larger 535 cm2 head with 12K carbon, the 2025 is the one that lists it. ## Price history Today **€ 149.95** Lowest in 30 days **€ 149.95** vs 30-day average **-2%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. Bullpadel's product page calls the Xplo 2025 the most powerful diamond racket it has ever made. The sheet tells a different story. The shape is listed as hybrid, and the power meter reads Medium. Which one should you trust? The sheet is the more specific source. ## Most powerful diamond, says the product page: a hybrid on the sheet The product page is marketing. Treat it as a claim. The retailer sheet lists a hybrid shape, a 535 cm2 head and a 38 mm thickness. That is not a classic diamond profile. Hybrid usually means a compromise between control and power. The specs fit that reading better than the headline does. The level is listed as Advanced. The retailer's player profile reads Power / Attack. So the intended buyer is someone who attacks, not someone who defends and waits. ## 12K carbon over MultiEVA: why control and power both read Medium The face is X-Tend Carbon 12K, with a 3D Rough surface. The core is MultiEVA. Each of these pushes both control and power up a little, and none pushes hard in one direction. The hybrid shape and 265 mm balance add to that picture. The result is a racket that is not extreme. Not a control tool, not a cannon. You get a middle reading on both meters. If you want a clear step up in power, the [Bullpadel Hack 04 Hybrid 25](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-04-hybrid-25/) reads High there with a very similar spec sheet. ## 365 to 375 g with a 265 mm 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. That is heavy. The balance is listed as high, at 265 mm. A heavy racket with a high balance carries its mass in the head, which adds momentum to a swing. The trade-off shows in two meters. Comfort and manoeuvrability both read Low. Quick volleys at the net ask more of your wrist. Not a racket for a tired arm, or for a first season of padel. There is a way to tune it. Shops list a weight system with 6 or 9 grams. Adding weight pushes it heavier still, so use it only if you already handle the base weight well. The retailer lists Hesacore and Vibradrive as anti-vibration systems. The product page claims they let you play without arm discomfort. That is a claim. The comfort meter still reads Low, driven by the heavy weight. Custom Weight is described as adjustable up to 9 grams. The product page also mentions Smart Holes, said to be designed for power. No test confirms what either does on court. The XPLO family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Comfort 25**](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/xplo-comfort-25/) **25** ## Xplo 25, Xplo 26 and the 2027 listings: a diamond label, then a smaller head The [Xplo 26](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/xplo-26/) is listed as Diamond and Professional. The weight, balance, core and head size match the 25. Only the labels differ. That is a changed label, not proof of a changed racket. The 2027 listings are clearer. The [Xplo 02 27](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/xplo-02-27/) shows 507 cm2, a 270 mm balance and X Tend Carbon 3K. The XPLO 2027 listing also shows 3K carbon. So the head shrinks on the Xplo 02 27 and the carbon changes from 12K to 3K. The 25 is the one with the larger 535 cm2 head. ## Xplo 25, Hack 04 Hybrid 25 or Dunlop FX Hybrid: picking your heavy hybrid The [Hack 04 Hybrid 25](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/hack-04-hybrid-25/) has the same weight range and a high balance, and its power meter reads High. The [Dunlop FX Hybrid](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/fx-hybrid/) is listed at 365 g with 12K carbon and also reads High for power. All three read Low for comfort and manoeuvrability. If you want power, look at those two first. If you prefer a calmer, more balanced reading, the Xplo 25 fits. ## No review, no frame, no handle: what you cannot check No review of this racket has been found. Frame and handle details are not published. Everything above comes from listed specs, and no one has measured how it plays. Read it as a careful guess, not a test result.

The product page calls it the most powerful diamond Bullpadel has made. The sheet is the more specific source, so treat the diamond wording as marketing. **Is the Xplo 25 good for beginners?** No. It is listed for advanced players and weighs 365 to 375 g. Comfort, manoeuvrability and sweet spot all read Low on paper. **How does it differ from the Xplo 26?** Weight, balance, core and head size match. The 26 is labelled Diamond and Professional, but that is a changed label, not a measured change. **Is it kind to the arm?** Probably not for everyone. The retailer lists Hesacore and Vibradrive, but the weight keeps the comfort meter at Low. Try the Bullpadel XPLO Comfort 25 if arm comfort matters most. **Is the XPLO 25 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Fair price" 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 Bullpadel Hack 04 Hybrid 25 plays most alike. Differences: handling -2.0, control -1.5. [Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/bullpadel-xplo-25-vs-bullpadel-hack-04-hybrid-25/) **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/)
