Bullpadel
Editorial assessment · 2026 model
The Hack 04 2026 is the diamond model for players who prefer head weight and a firmer response. Bullpadel lists 365–375 g, an approximate 264 mm balance and TriCarbon 18K over MultiEva. That is a sensible starting specification for an experienced attacker. A player wanting less head weight should compare the Hybrid, which keeps the same published mass but moves the balance closer to the handle.

The 2026 standard Hack has a 264 mm balance; the Hybrid is about 250 mm. Both list 365–375 g. The difference is where the racket balances, so the Hybrid deserves a look when you want less head weight without changing the published mass.
Their faces also differ: TriCarbon 18K on the standard model and aluminized A-18K on the Hybrid. Bullpadel describes the standard as Intermediate/Hard and the Hybrid as Intermediate/Soft. Those are more useful distinctions than assuming every Hack feels the same.
Consider an alternative if: You want a lighter racket, a softer response or less head weight.
PadelFormat estimate: Medium, based on the published balance point.
Bullpadel
The 2026 Hybrid has an aluminized A-18K face and a lower balance than the diamond Hack. Both weigh 365–375 g. Shortlist the Hybrid when you want less head weight and Bullpadel's softer feel classification, especially for defence and controlled placement.
