Bullpadel XPLO 25 Racket

The XPLO 25 is Bullpadel's most power-focused racket, built around Martín Di Nenno's signature model. It carries a geometric diamond head shape with a high balance point, so mass sits toward the top of the frame rather than the centre. That's what generates the extra racket head speed on smashes and overheads, at the cost of a smaller margin for error off-centre than a round or teardrop frame gives you.

The frame is built from Xtend Carbon 12K on the hitting surface with a MultiEva foam core, at a 38mm profile and 365 to 375 grams. Bullpadel's Wave System adds flex through the sides of the frame, which helps the racket load and release energy on lower, defensive balls rather than playing stiff through the whole shot. The Smart Holes pattern leaves the centre of the head undrilled, adding rigidity right where energy transfer matters most on contact.

This is an advanced to expert level racket. The high balance and stiff response reward players who already generate their own racket head speed and want the frame to add to it, rather than players still building a consistent swing. If you want the same platform with a softer, more forgiving feel, the Bullpadel HACK 04 25 is worth a look. A matching XPLO backpack is also available if you're kitting out the same line.
