Video overview
The Bullpadel Vertex 05 Hybrid 26 is the Vertex for players who win with placement rather than power: a teardrop with the same 12K carbon build as the diamond Vertex 05, but a lower balance and a lot more control. 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: Bullpadel rates it 2 for power and 4 for control against the Vertex 05's 3 and 3.5. The teardrop head and handle-side balance keep it quick at the net and forgiving on volleys and bandejas.
- Value: If you want more punch from the same build, the Vertex 05 is the diamond version with a higher balance. If you are an improving intermediate, this is the easiest Vertex to grow into because the balance is lower and the sweet spot is forgiving.
- X-Tend Carbon 12K face: A carbon fibre face. The 12K weave is Bullpadel's middle-stiffness carbon: firm enough to put real pace on the ball, with enough give that it does not feel harsh.
- 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.
- Top Spin surface: A rough, sandblasted finish that grips the ball so you can add slice and topspin more easily.
- Vertex Core: A triangular bridge in the heart that stiffens the frame against twisting, so off-centre hits stay predictable.
- Curvaktiv frame: A twisted, variable-section frame that spreads vibration more evenly and cuts drag.
- Air Power channel: A channel cut through the lower frame that lets air through, reducing drag so the racket comes through quicker.
- 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 Vertex 05 but with the balance pulled down towards the handle, the lowest in the Vertex family. It moves faster in the hand than the weight suggests.
The Bullpadel Vertex Hybrid is the most versatile racket in the Bullpadel range and last year it was my favourite racket in our store

Orders placed after the cut-off, on weekends or on bank holidays are dispatched the next working day.

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.
