Best for: Incredibly good in defense - it has a dry touch, which respects the speed you drive to the ball. I felt very comfortable from the first moment with this racket. Fede Chingotto's signature racket, but Fede plays with a 12k version of it.

Federico Chingotto’s new signature racket, the Bullpadel Neuron, is the “replacement” of the Vertex CTR. It has a medium balance and a medium touch.
Many reviewers struggled with its small sweet spot.
Reviewers also commented on its absorbing the ball upon impact, which some enjoyed, while others were annoyed by.
It is a racket for point constructers - players who excel in making their opponents run around the court by placing their shots with precision.
It is less of a defense oriented racket than was expected by several reviewers, especially when compared with Martin Di Nenno’s Bullpadel Vertex 04 Comfort.
Its flat smashes leave something to be desired, but if you rely mostly on top spin smashes, you won’t find yourself without weapons.

"While this racket was designed to be a replacement of the Vertex CTR, this is a more technical racket than that. It has low ball output and a relatively small sweet spot. The high poitn of the racket is its maneuverability. I don't recommend it for left-side smashers."
