Bullpadel
Editorial assessment · 2026 model
The Ionic Light 2026 is worth shortlisting when a 365–375 g racket feels heavier than you want. It lists 350–360 g, a hybrid head and medium balance, with Glaphite over MultiEva. We would consider it for improving and intermediate players who want a lower-weight racket for both defence and attack. Bullpadel classifies the feel as intermediate.

You have less racket mass to move, which can be welcome late in a match. The difference also shows up when the incoming ball is fast. Compare a few ordinary blocks and returns alongside full swings.
The Ionic Light's 350–360 g range gives you a concrete way to reduce weight from CTRL or Power. It is still a racket with its own balance and feel, so check the complete setup against your current racket.
Consider an alternative if: You prefer a heavier setup or a pronounced head-heavy balance.
Bullpadel

Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Pearl Cloud 2025 combines a diamond head with ElasticFiber and CloudEva for softer contact. Its published weight range is 355–365 g.
Babolat
An even-balanced Air with a CarbonFlex face and a nominal weight of 355 g. Worth comparing if you want an attacking racket without a head-heavy specification. Air Viper changes the face and core, rather than the headline weight.
