Bullpadel Vertex Junior Boy (2026)

Editorial assessment · 2026 model

The Vertex Junior Boy 2026 is aimed at experienced juniors who are ready for a more substantial racket. It weighs 335–345 g and combines a diamond head, medium balance and a 35 mm profile. The Polyglass fibreglass face and Evalastic core also distinguish it from the adult Vertex. We would consider it for a young player who can prepare that weight comfortably on both sides.

Best for
Confident junior players progressing from a lighter first racket.
Main trade-off
Its lower weight and thinner profile suit junior use, but 335–345 g can still be too much for a smaller child.

Our assessment

Choose it around the player

Watch a junior hit routine forehands, backhands and volleys with the racket. Can they prepare it early and return to a ready position without slowing down? That is more useful than buying it because they recognise the Vertex name.

Bullpadel describes the hitting surface as comparable to an adult racket. Do not assume that every part has been made smaller. Grip fit and repeated handling still need checking, particularly for a child moving up from a much lighter frame.

Consider an alternative if: The player is new to padel or struggles to get the racket into position before contact.

Strengths

  • Lower published weight than the adult Vertex 05's 365–375 g range.
  • A 35 mm profile, compared with 38 mm on the adult model.
  • Fibreglass face and Evalastic core provide a different construction from the adult carbon-face racket.

Drawbacks

  • Junior branding does not make this an automatic fit for every age or size.
  • It is aimed at experienced juniors, so it should not be the default first-racket recommendation.

FAQ

Is the Vertex Junior Boy a good first racket for a child?
Usually, a lighter beginner model is a better starting point. Bullpadel positions this one for advanced juniors, and its 335–345 g range can be substantial for a small child. Consider it once the player can prepare and recover the racket easily during ordinary rallies.
Is this the same racket as the adult Vertex 05?
No. The junior model is 335–345 g and 35 mm thick, with a Polyglass face and Evalastic core. The adult Vertex 05 is 365–375 g and 38 mm thick, with a 12K carbon face and MultiEva. They share the Vertex name and diamond shape, but the constructions serve different players.
