Bullpadel Vertex 04 Comfort

The fiberglass surface of this racket is what differentiates it from the standard Vertex 04, signed by Juan Tello. I liked its high ball output at the net.

This racket moves more slowly than the Neuron, and it is worse than the Neuron in defense. But I still find it comfortable. Tested model is 27.2cm balance.

Soft touch, which can leave me feeling out of control at times. I liked its roughness in my bandejas and viboras.

Easy power. Generous core. It's not a racket for those who use their whole body to shoot all the way - it's a very generous racket that prioritizes ball output over power. This is not a racket that smashes the ball, but it does have generosity in smashes as well - it works best when you use its slingshot effect (at medium speeds).

26m balance because it doesn't have the 16g Hesacore. I find it has good maneuverability despite the weight in the head, but it does tend to rotate over on its head.

It has a bit of a trampoline effect, which I don't like, but gives intermediate and lower players some playability. I felt the lack of control at the net. Viboras and bandejas are not bad.

The sweet spot is quite large for a diamond.

With it's soft touch, this is not a racket made for power.

I like the control at the net, its harder touch let me use my arm more freely.

I need to put more on the ball to get it to go to the other side, compared with the standard Vertex 04.

With the springy surface, I feel like I have less control than with the standard Vertex. I prefer its overheads to its volleys due to the lack of control I can feel in my volleys with it.
