Where to Buy
Pros
- This racket has a decent power for the medium-soft touch that it has. If you have good technique, you won’t have problems smashing X3. I have contradictory feelings regarding this racket in smashes. This racket has a decent power for the medium-soft touch that it has. With its low weight, you need to use your arm to smash properly.
- The racket moves very well. Easy to maneuver in the aerial game. Very rapid and maneuverable. You won’t arrive late to the ball.
Cons
- Standard-sized. Hard to miss the sweet spot at the net. During smashes, I feel a bit difference between hitting the ball well-centered and slightly out of the sweet spot.

About the Bullpadel Elite
Elite
The Bullpadel Elite is number three ranked (at the time of publication June 2023) Gemma Triay’s signature racket. It is a comfortable, lightweight teardrop-shaped racket with a medium balance and a medium-soft touch, marketed toward female players.
Its surface is made out of Bullpadel’s Fibrix, which is a combination of carbon fiber and fiberglass. Its core is Bullpadel’s MultiEVA sandwich of hard and soft EVA to optimize control and power.
Bullpadel’s Air React channels, small gaps in the neck of the frame, designed to improve aerodynamics and increase maneuverability, are present.
Bullpadel’s Vibradrive, a silicon insert in the grip, absorbs vibrations.
Reviewers noted that despite having a relatively soft touch, making it comfortable to play with, it is notable for not losing control at high speeds. On the other hand, it requires the player to use their arm when they want to generate a lot of power.
Its medium-soft touch, low weight, and centered balance make it an easy and comfortable racket for a wide variety of players. It is very maneuverable and will give the player the feeling of arriving early to the ball.
