Editorial assessment · 2027 model
The Bullpadel Hack 05 2027 combines a diamond head, Tricarbon 18K and MultiEVA with a roughly 265 mm balance. We recommend it to technically confident attackers who prefer a medium-firm hit. It is a demanding choice to make solely for the promise of more smash power.

We would choose Hack when you already enjoy a firm attacking racket and can repeat clean contact under pressure. A powerful clean strike is only part of the assessment. Include awkward lobs and volleys close to the body in your trial.
The new ExoAir and Hack Core architecture are design changes worth noting, but they do not replace that handling check. Extra frame weights should follow a specific need, not the assumption that heavier always hits harder.
Vertex Geo uses a different shape, 3K face and a slightly lower listed balance. We would try both when you want a firm response but are unsure which contact feel suits you. Neither needs to be described as universally better; the decision is how reliably you can use it.
Consider an alternative if: Your contact regularly drifts toward the frame or you need easy depth from a passive block.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Icon 2027 is a 370–375 g diamond racket with a roughly 263 mm balance, 12K carbon faces and MultiEVA. We favour it for experienced players who like a substantial racket for attacking volleys and overheads, while preferring a medium feel to an especially hard response.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Vertex 05 Geo 2027 uses Bullpadel's geometric head, a 3K carbon face and a medium-firm response. We favour it for experienced players who want a more attacking Vertex option while keeping a broad all-court brief. Its listed balance is about 260 mm and weight is 365–375 g.
HEAD
The HEAD Coello Pro 2026 is a 370 g diamond racket with a 272 mm balance, Carbon Hybrid face and Power Foam. We favour it for experienced attacking players who already handle a substantial, head-heavy racket well. Its power potential depends on keeping that weight moving fast enough.
