Video overview
The Bullpadel Hack 04 Hybrid is the Hack for players who defend and counter: a teardrop with a lower balance and an aluminised 18K carbon face that is softer than the diamond Hack's. For advanced players who win with volleys, bandejas and placement. The 2026 model at a reduced price.
- Shape: Teardrop, a balance of control and power that covers every part of the game.
- Level: Suits advanced players.
- Face: Carbon, firmer and more direct, turning your swing speed straight into ball speed.
- Balance: Medium, an even feel between quickness in hand and punch on the ball.
- Weight: 365-375g, a sturdier build with more stability and weight behind the ball.
- Surface: A rough finish grips the ball, making slice and topspin easier to add.
- Standout: Aluminized Carbon 18K is a carbon face with an aluminium treatment that gives it more flex than Tricarbon. With the lower balance it is a firm but friendly racket that excels on the right side: bandeja, vibora and block volley rather than the smash.
- Value: If you want the Hack's power and finish from the diamond shape, the standard Hack is stiffer and head-heavy. If you want a control racket that is softer still, the Vertex 05 Hybrid has a 12K face and a similar balance.
- Aluminized Carbon 18K face: An 18K carbon face with an aluminium treatment that makes it a touch more flexible than Tricarbon. Still a carbon face, but softer on contact.
- Multieva core: Three layers of EVA foam at different densities. Hard hits reach the firmer outer layers for pace; slow touch shots stay in the softer middle for feel.
- 3D Grain surface: A textured pattern moulded into the face. It grips the ball for spin without the wear of a sand finish.
- Hack Core 4: The heart, the bridge between handle and head, with thickened arms and an air channel through the centre for stability and less vibration.
- Tricore: Reinforcement where the heart meets the head, so the frame stays stiff under hard hitting.
- Air React Channel: An air channel through the throat that cuts drag so the racket swings faster.
- Total Channel: An air channel running along the frame to cut swing weight.
- Carbon Tube frame: A frame made from woven carbon fibre. It keeps the head stable and stops it twisting on off-centre hits.
- Hesacore grip: A grip shaped with raised hexagons that spread pressure across your palm, so you can hold it lighter and tire less.
- Vibradrive: A damper in the handle that absorbs vibration before it reaches your wrist and elbow.
- Ease Vibe: Dampers in the frame that soak up vibration on impact.
- Custom Weight: Slots in the frame for small weights. Add them to the head for more power, or leave them out for faster hands. It comes balanced as standard.
- 365-375g, low to medium balance: Same weight as the diamond Hack with the balance brought down towards the handle, so it is quicker on volleys and easier to control. Bullpadel rates it 4 for control and 4 for manoeuvrability against the Hack's 3 and 3.
The hack hybrid is one of the best models for right sided players, the control and feel allows player to excel with their volleys, bajada, and bandeja. It feels close to the round shape.

How do I choose the right padel racket for my skill level and playing style?
Start with your level, then your style. As a rough guide: round rackets have a big sweet spot and maximum control, ideal for beginners and defensive players. Teardrop rackets balance power and control, perfect for most intermediate players. Diamond rackets are power-focused with a smaller sweet spot, best for advanced, aggressive players. The quickest way to narrow it down is our Racket Quiz, answer a few questions about your level, style and budget and it'll recommend the best options currently in stock. You can also check out our YouTube channel where we review and test rackets on court, or just message us on WhatsApp and we'll recommend one personally.
