New innovative geometric diamond shape (GEOSHAPE)
Bullpadel is introducing the concept of explosive power. With a geometric frame, the key is in its ability to maximise the force generated by the player's movement, through the balance of the racket and the distribution of weight along the racket's central axis, placing it in a higher position and bringing weight towards the end of the head. The higher balance increases the moment of inertia of the racket, which translates into greater ease in generating a lever effect.
Air Power technology
This technology follows on from the Air React Channel, a channel created from a hollow piece at the racket throat. With the Air Power, the surface has been optimised to increase the air flow channel by 50% with the same material. This increases all of the structural and aerodynamic benefits of the Air React channel, with an aerodynamic advantage of 23.5%.
New Wave System
The Wave technology results in a more flexible frame which helps to transfer energy more smoothly efficiently from the top of the racket. This flexibility is what helps you feel how the racket helps with your defensive and low-speed shots, by promoting flex and achieving a catapult effect so that the player needs to apply less power to their strikes.
Smart Hole system
The new hole design in the XPLO creates an unpierced central zone to reduce the flexion there, increasing stiffness and energy transmission for each ball.
External material: Fibrix
Fibrix, a combination of carbon and fibreglass, on the outer side of the racket to improve playability.
Internal material: MultiEVA
The MultiEva technology has two densities of foam:
A less dense inner layer so that you can get a better feel for slow balls.
A denser outer layer for better reactivity on fast balls and a more powerful ball release on strong impacts.
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.
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.
Hesacore Technology
Honeycomb handle for optimized grip, added comfort and reduced fatigue.
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.
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.
