Technical specifications and design details of the Bullpadel Vertex 04 Woman 2025
The Bullpadel Vertex 04 Woman 2025 arrives as one of the most anticipated padel rackets of the year, endorsed by Delfi Brea and following the remarkable success of its 2024 predecessor. According to the reviewer from Padel Review, the 2025 model maintains the same technical features as last year’s version, with no structural changes or new technologies introduced. This continuity is reflected in the naming: the racket remains “Vertex 04” because Bullpadel only updates the number when there are real modifications.
- Shape: Diamond
- Face material: Fibrix (a hybrid of fiberglass and carbon fiber)
- Surface: Rough finish for enhanced spin
- Core: Multieva
- Weight range: 345g – 360g (the tested model weighed 350g)
- Balance: High, at 27 cm (medium-high)
- Grip: Comfortable, slightly thicker handle with the classic Bullpadel wrist strap
The overall feel and build quality are described as excellent, with the reviewer noting the handle’s comfort and the signature of Delfi Brea adding a touch of exclusivity. The racket’s aesthetics are also highlighted as a strong point, especially for those who value visual appeal alongside performance.
Target audience and versatility for different player profiles
The channel emphasizes that, despite the “Woman” label, the Bullpadel Vertex 04 Woman 2025 is not limited to female players. It is recommended for intermediate to advanced players of any gender, whether playing on the right or left side. The reviewer jokes that the “W” could stand for “Winner,” suggesting that this racket is designed to help players avoid mistakes and even blame their partner for any lost points.
The lighter weight and balanced feel make it especially suitable for women and younger players, but the reviewer affirms that men—particularly those who prefer a more maneuverable racket—will also find it highly effective. The only caveat is that as the level of play increases, players might prefer it more on the right side, but it still performs admirably on the left.
Performance from the baseline: control, defense, and sweet spot
On-court testing reveals that the Vertex 04 Woman 2025 excels in defensive play from the back of the court. The reviewer describes its control as “spaziale”—outstanding—especially when compared to the 2024 model. The ball escapes less, allowing for more precise shots and reducing the risk of sending balls long on flat hits. This improvement in control is particularly noticeable during lobs, which remain a standout shot with this racket, though they tend to be slightly shorter than last year’s version.
The sweet spot is described as generous, making it forgiving for players who don’t always hit the center. The racket’s maneuverability is praised, with the reviewer noting that even when glued to the glass, it’s easy to return difficult shots. The Fibrix face and Multieva core contribute to a soft yet responsive feel, giving players confidence in both slow and fast exchanges.
Net play: touch, effects, and attacking options
At the net, the Bullpadel Vertex 04 Woman 2025 continues to impress. Its lightness encourages players to open up their shots, but the reviewer cautions against overhitting, as the lively Fibrix face can still send balls directly into the glass if not controlled. However, compared to the previous model, the 2025 version offers a touch more control, making it easier to keep volleys deep without excessive effort.
Spin and slice shots benefit from the rough surface, and the reviewer highlights the racket’s comfort and ease of use when executing drop shots and angled volleys. The light weight allows for quick reactions and fast hand movements, making it suitable for aggressive net play. While not a power-oriented racket, it still allows for effective attacking shots thanks to its balance and responsive materials.
Overhead shots and smash performance
When it comes to overheads, including smashes and “vibora” shots, the reviewer notes that the Vertex 04 Woman 2025 performs well, especially for players who rely on precision rather than brute force. The racket moves quickly through the air, and the control improvements mean that shots stay within the lines more consistently than with the 2024 model. While it’s not a “cannon” in terms of raw power, it offers enough elasticity and response for effective flat smashes and kick smashes, particularly for intermediate and advanced players who value placement and spin.
The reviewer also mentions that the racket’s performance remains strong even for advanced male players on the left side, though it’s not designed for those seeking maximum power above all else.
Direct comparison with the 2024 model and value for money
The central question addressed by the channel is whether the 2025 version is better than the highly acclaimed 2024 model. The verdict is nuanced: both rackets are described as “fantastic,” with the 2025 model offering slightly more control and a marginally shorter ball trajectory on lobs and overheads. However, the differences are subtle, and the reviewer suggests that players should choose based on price and availability.
With the 2024 model often available for €80 less than the 2025, the reviewer recommends opting for the previous version while stocks last, as it delivers nearly identical performance at a better price. The 2025 model, however, is praised for its updated aesthetics and remains an excellent purchase for those who prefer the latest design or cannot find the older version.
