Adult Padel Racket Bullpadel Vertex X Series

Skill level: Advanced or professional

This racket is designed for advanced or professional players looking for a powerful, lightweight, easy-to-handle and durable racket.

Playing style: Powerful

The diamond-shaped head and high-performance features make the Vertex SMU 03 an innovative racket. The carbon composition and head-heavy balance provide maximum power at the moment of impact and optimise ball control.

Balance: High

This is the racket balance point, measured in millimetres from the bottom of the racket handle.

The larger the number (head-heavy balance), the more power and stability you'll get from the racket and the heavier it will feel (even if it's not a heavy racket). However, you'll have to give up some manoeuvrability. The smaller the number (grip biased or handle heavy), the easier the racket will be to handle, but the less power and stability you'll get.

Weight: 365-375 g.

Just like the balance point, the weight impacts a racket's swingweight and therefore its manoeuvrability, stability and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racket, the more power you'll get, but the harder it will be to handle. Conversely, the lighter the racket, the easier it will be to handle, but the less powerful it will be.

External material: 12K XT-Carbon

There are three different types of weave: 18K, 12K and 3K. The difference between them is the thickness of the fibres. The resistance and weight will vary depending on which one is used.In this case, the XTend carbon fibre from Bullpadel uses strips of carbon instead of threads. These strips are interwoven in two directions to increase both rigidity and durability. This material also reduces the racket's weight by 20 to 30% compared to the most commonly used carbon fibre.

Internal material: MultiEVA

MultiEva foam consists of two densities. The outer layer is more compact and responsive to fast balls for maximum power off the racket. The inner layer has a lower density and is more responsive to slower balls for more control.

Carbon Tube technology

100% carbon fibres are integrated into the frame, woven in different directions to achieve a balance of power and control.

Vertex technology

A design feature a the racket throat that distributes weight evenly across the racket to reduce vibration and twisting and increase rigidity. The diamond-shaped head combined with this technology makes the racket more rigid during volleys and powerful shots.

Top Spin technology

Rough surface finish for easier handling - it keeps the ball in contact with the racket for longer for more spin and better shots.

VibraDrive technology

Assembly system in the racket handle into which high-density foam is inserted. This piece absorbs most vibrations, generally from off-centre shots.

Nerve technology

Channels on the edge of the frame to reduce the racket's weight and increase its rigidity. This technology also gives you more control on volleys.
