As is the case every year, some brands take this opportunity to unveil their new range of rackets. And, as is also customary, Bullpadel is usually the first to do so. The flagship brand presents the Pro Line 2027, an update to its professional models, each one endorsed by the players who have tested them on the court before anyone else: from Paquito Navarro to Gemma Triay, including Fede Chingotto and Delfi Brea.
Ten rackets, ten different ways of approaching top-level padel, united by a single goal: to take performance a step further without compromising the identity that has made series such as Vertex, Hack and Neuron classics on the circuit.
We take a look, racket by racket, at what each one has to offer and which player is behind its design.

Introducing Bullpadel’s new Pro Line 2027 range
Hack 05 – Energy in Motion
The Hack gets a makeover for 2027 in collaboration with Paquito Navarro, with whom Bullpadel has developed a model that bears little resemblance to previous versions of the series. The brand describes it as the most successful Hack it has produced to date – a leap forward that’s first noticeable in the feel of the racket: it gains in agility and aerodynamics, designed for technical players capable of accelerating the pace of the rally without losing control of the ball.
Aesthetically, it debuts a white surface that contrasts with black and red detailing, aiming to convey that sense of speed that defines Navarro’s game. The redesign also affects the layout of the holes and the integration of the logo, both revised to reinforce the visual identity of one of the most recognisable ranges in the catalogue.
XPLO 02 – Explosive Power
If there’s one racket designed to smash hard, this is it. The XPLO 02 comes from Martín Di Nenno, and Bullpadel presents it as the most extreme version ever to come out of its laboratory. The aim is simple to state but difficult to achieve: maximum real power, no holds barred.
The racket debuts a two-sided design, each side with its own personality: a darker side that conveys forcefulness, and another with turquoise accents that adds a striking touch. A contrast which, as the brand explains, seeks to reflect Di Nenno’s style on the court: commitment and intensity.
Elite 02 – Pure Mastery
The Elite 02 was developed in collaboration with Gemma Triay, who shares the top spot in the world rankings with her court partner, Delfina Brea, and seeks a balance that is not always easy to find in a racket of this calibre: performance without compromising on elegance in handling. Bullpadel has refined the model’s new architecture to enhance manoeuvrability and reduce effort with every shot, ensuring it responds naturally to each player’s style.
Its hybrid format is the model’s greatest asset: versatility to build up the point patiently and accelerate at just the right moment. In terms of design, it features a clean and sophisticated surface, with black detailing that reinforces the sense of control and authority that Triay embodies in every match.
Vertex 05 – Total Play
Bullpadel describes it as the best-selling racket in its catalogue, so any update to the range comes with high expectations. This fifth generation maintains the philosophy that has made it a staple on the circuit — capable of adapting to defence, attack and transitions without losing consistency — but incorporates a reinforced core and an optimised version of the Curv:aKtiv system, which improves energy transfer and stability on impact.
The result, according to the brand, is a more responsive and solid Vertex, developed alongside its team of professional players to push the concept that gives the series its name to the limit. Visually, it debuts an exposed carbon surface with white and orange accents, a more geometric aesthetic that complements its powerful character.
Vertex 05 Geo – Total Play Max
Within the Vertex family, the Geo is the most radical version. Inspired by the playing style of Pablo Cardona, it retains the all-round DNA of the range but takes it into more offensive territory, with a geometric design that increases the hitting surface and shifts the balance towards attack. A racket designed for those seeking greater acceleration in their shots without completely sacrificing the balanced foundation that characterises the range.
Its design is probably the boldest in the entire collection: a yellow and orange gradient that breaks with the usual conventions of power rackets, contrasted with a black and grey logo. A statement of intent as striking as Cardona’s own play on the court.
Vertex 05 W – Total Play
The women’s version of the Vertex bears the signature of Delfina Brea, who, alongside Gemma Triay, forms the world’s number one-ranked couple, and is positioned as the lightest and most manoeuvrable variant in the range. Bullpadel has fine-tuned the weight and shape to enhance agility without sacrificing power or control, featuring the same reinforced core and optimised Curv:aKtiv system first seen in the standard Vertex 05.
It is a racket designed for players who need freedom of movement — stability in defence, responsiveness in attack — without losing solidity on decisive points. The design features coral tones that give it its own identity within the power range, with a black logo providing a more technical contrast.
Neuron 02 Edge – Smart Precision
The Neuron has always been the racket of choice for those who see padel as a game of anticipation rather than brute force, and this new Edge, developed in collaboration with Federico Chingotto, is no exception. The most significant innovation comes in the form of PrismLock, a structural architecture from Bullpadel Lab that applies prismatic geometry throughout the entire frame to better control impact deformations and distribute stresses more evenly across the racket.
The result, according to the brand, is a more stable response even during the most intense rallies. Added to this is a geometrically shaped head that provides extra power without compromising the DNA of control that defines the range. Aesthetically, it debuts a double-sided design — one side in dark tones, the other in light tones — which reflects that cool, analytical approach to the game that has made Chingotto a force to be reckoned with on the circuit.
Pearl – Easy Power
The Pearl has been revamped in collaboration with Bea González, one of the most explosive players on the circuit, and is designed for those who see attack as the cornerstone of their game. The underlying idea is that smashing shouldn’t require extra effort, so Bullpadel has incorporated into this model several technologies aimed at facilitating acceleration: the Pearl Core, a core with inverted triangular geometry that distributes impact forces more effectively, and the Air React Channel, an aerodynamic channel that reduces air resistance during the swing.
Added to this is a Multieva core, which combines different densities to provide a firm response on high shots and greater leeway during transitional play, and a Fibrix surface—a hybrid blend of fibreglass and carbon that offers feel and makes it easier to generate speed on the ball. The racket also incorporates Vibradrive, to cushion off-centre hits, and a Custom Weight system that allows the balance to be adjusted to suit each player’s preferences.
The design, perhaps the most personal in the entire collection, features two sides representing different facets of González: one inspired by Málaga, with nods to the sun, the waves, the palm trees and even the espetos (skewers) as a symbol of her homeland; and another, more technical and refined, which evokes the ‘Easy Power’ concept that gives the model its name.
Wonder – Magic Touch
Claudia Fernández, “La Niña Maravilla”, now has her own racket within the Pro Line. The Wonder is the result of a collaboration between the player and Bullpadel Lab, and seeks to translate into a physical object something rather difficult to manufacture: the precocious maturity with which Fernández has climbed the world rankings in such a short space of time. The result is a lightweight, agile and surprisingly firm racket, with control as its key selling point.
The design combines deep blacks with blue and pink accents, a colour palette intended to convey a sense of freshness without losing the technical rigour that characterises the entire Pro Line range.
Flow Legend – Unbeatable Charm
Some rackets introduce a new model, and some rackets mark the end of an era. The Flow Legend belongs to the latter category: inspired by the playing style of Alejandra Salazar, it has been conceived as the final racket of her professional career. On paper, it is an evolution of the original Flow with an extra touch of power, designed for players seeking a balance between lightness and performance without sacrificing the fluidity that has characterised Salazar’s game throughout her career.
The true value of this racket, however, lies in its design. Against a backdrop of sand and gold tones, Bullpadel has incorporated the titles Salazar has won throughout her career, making them part of the racket’s own visual language. They serve as a visual summary of a career that has defined an era in women’s padel.
With these ten rackets, Bullpadel completes its Pro Line 2027: a collection that caters to virtually any playing style, from raw power to pinpoint control, featuring specific models for the women’s circuit and even a racket named after a player to mark the end of a career. The new range is now available on the official Bullpadel website.
