The face is what sets it apart from the standard model. Fibrix blends fibreglass with carbon, so it's less rigid and softer at impact than an all-carbon face. The standard Vertex 05 27 uses X-Tend Carbon 12K and weighs 365 to 375 g, which makes the W 27 about 15 g lighter with the softer of the two faces.

Inside is a MultiEVA core made from three layers of EVA rubber. The denser outer layers respond on hard, fast balls. The softer middle layer gives more control and comfort when the ball comes in slow.

The frame is built from Carbon Tube, Bullpadel's bidirectional carbon construction. Curv:Aktiv twists the frame with a changing cross-section to add stability and spread vibration, and Air Power runs a channel through the frame to cut air resistance as you swing. On the face, the rough Top Spin finish grips the ball for extra spin on bandejas and volleys.

The balance isn't fixed either. The frame has Custom Weight slots, and adding a few grams at the top with a Bullpadel Custom Weight set moves the balance toward the head for more weight behind your smashes.

Bullpadel's own rating chart scores this racket highest for manoeuvrability and sweet spot size, and lowest for raw power. It suits a player who relies on quick hands at the net and wants a forgiving sweet spot when contact isn't clean.
