Editorial assessment · 2027 model
The Bullpadel Nitro Control 2027 is a round, soft-feel racket built from Polyglass faces, SoftEva and a carbon frame. We favour it for developing players who want help with defensive depth and are choosing for steady placement rather than a firm attacking response.
Where to buy

PadelFormat may earn a commission when you buy through selected links, at no additional cost to you. Recommendations are based on product fit and editorial criteria, not commission levels.
We would put Nitro Control on a shortlist when the aim is to keep more balls in play and develop repeatable preparation. Its softer face and core are a useful match for a compact swing, particularly when you do not want to work hard for every defensive lob.
That response can be lively when you meet a fast ball. Judge delicate blocks as well as easy feeds before deciding whether the feel suits you.
At 360–370 g it is not an ultralight racket. Check the finished weight with your usual grip. If you favour harder attacking contact, compare a firmer model; if you mainly want dependable practice equipment at a sensible price, Nitro Control has a clear purpose.
Consider an alternative if: You prefer a firm carbon face or need an especially light racket.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Nitro Woman 2027 is a round racket with Polyglass fibreglass faces, SoftEva and a 360–370 g weight range. We recommend it to developing players who prefer a softer response for building depth and consistency. The Woman name does not mean it is lighter than Nitro Control.
HEAD
The HEAD Vibe Blue/Yellow 2026 is a 350 g teardrop racket with a fibreglass face and Power Foam. We favour it for beginners and casual players who want a softer response and a modest starting weight. This is standard Vibe, separate from Coello Vibe.
Nox
The NOX X-Hero Red 2026 is a round, soft-feel racket with 3K fibreglass faces, a carbon frame and HR3 White EVA. We recommend it as a straightforward beginner shortlist choice, particularly when manageable weight and easy depth matter more than a firm attacking response.
