Bullpadel Vertex 05
Specification and verdict.
Mapped across the face.
Every measurement is taken on a 5 × 7 grid over the hitting surface and read outward from the sweet spot. Switch layer to see how the frame behaves in each dimension.
Read this before the first hit.
Where to strike, how long to swing and which side of the court it belongs on — read off the stat block and the specification, not the marketing sheet.
Mass and stiffness peak above the centre line — power first, tolerance second.
Aim to strike high on the face — below the centre line the frame loses pace quickly.
At 365 g it sits in the standard weight window.
Padel handles come in one size; thickness is set with overgrips. Each overgrip adds roughly 1 mm and 5 g in the hand, which pulls the balance a touch lower — useful if the head feels slow. A thicker grip helps to control a head-heavy frame on the volley.
Typical home is the left (backhand) side, where the player takes the overheads and finishes the point. X-Tend Carbon 12K face.
Skip it if you are anyone nursing an elbow or shoulder — it is head-heavy.

From the maker.
Vertex 05, the latest evolution of our most iconic paddle.
The best-selling paddle on the market returns this year, more complete, more responsive, more stable, and more intuitive, reaffirming its position as the most balanced option for any style of play .
Its new reinforced core and optimized Curv:aKtiv improve stability and energy transmission with every shot , offering a smooth, easy, and solid playing experience.
The Vertex 05 is the complete racket: capable of adapting to defense, attack and transitions , always with the same consistency and reliability that has made this series an icon of padel.
The pursuit of perfection continues to guide us, and with the Vertex 05 we take it one step further: the most complete racket we've created to date, developed in collaboration with our professional players to take the Total Play concept to the highest level.
Discover all its technologies below:
Curv:Aktiv: CurvAktiv has been optimised in the new Vertex 05, increasing the incidence of its faces by 11º to reach a total tilt of 31.6º. This greater rotation in the lateral faces creates a deeper variable section along the profile, resulting in a unique and highly efficient twisted structure. The result is a racket with a more balanced vibration distribution, capable of performing better in two directions: greater structural solidity and increased reactivity in every shot, providing immediate comfort with a livelier and more controlled response in any phase of the game.
AIR POWER: AIR POWER is the natural evolution of the Air React Channel system. With this new technology, we have expanded the size of the channel in the lower lateral part of the frame by 50%. This was achieved by increasing the length of the surfaces involved in the hollow structure. This makes Air Power a much more efficient zone compared to a solid racket or its predecessor. It adds even more energy return, agility, and lightness, making the Vertex 05 more reactive, stable, aerodynamic, and manoeuvrable.
AIR POWER + CurvAktiv: The Vertex 05 combines Air Power and CurvAktiv technologies for total performance. CurvAktiv enhances the Coanda effect, channelling air towards the Air Power system, reducing air resistance and improving aerodynamics by up to 23%.
VERTEX CORE: The classic essence, taken to the next level. The new Vertex heart, featuring a double diagonal bridge, has undergone a complete restyle to achieve a more triangular geometry that optimally distributes forces. This reduces vibrations and significantly increases the rigidity of the structure.
EASE VIBE: Ease Vibe are next-generation dampeners designed to optimise performance. Integrated into four strategic holes and tested by the Polytechnic University of Madrid, they absorb up to 49% of vibrations. Their spring-shaped geometry allows for unique customisation of feel and balance.
CUSTOM WEIGHT: The CustomWeight system consists of gel-finished 3g plates that allow players to modify the racket's balance. The Vertex 05 is designed to accommodate up to 4 weights at the top, allowing for up to 12g of extra weight and a balance shift of +/- 1cm.
TOP SPIN: Increased grain on the final layer for more pronounced and precise spin. This enhances aggressive spin on slices and volleys while ensuring the technology is more durable over time.
HESACORE: The new Hesacore features a renewed formula to protect your game. Its ergonomic honeycomb design increases the contact surface between the hand and the grip, reducing effort and the risk of injury while providing a firm, comfortable hold.
VIBRADRIVE: Characterised by a high-elasticity elastomer insertion that splits the handle along its longitudinal axis, it is essential for absorbing vibrations, especially on off-centre hits.
XTEND-CARBON 12K: Manufactured with X-TEND Carbon 12K, an advanced fibre of 12,000 biaxially woven carbon filaments. It provides a balanced medium hardness that combines power and control for a versatile game.
MULTIEVA: A "sandwich" structure with three layers:
-
Outer Layers: High-density EVA for maximum power in explosive shots.
-
Inner Layer: Softer, lower-density EVA to increase comfort and control on slower shots.
