Ionic Control

Bullpadel’s intermediate Next line is composed of the Ionic and Axym models. These models both have surfaces made of a mixture of carbon fiber and fiberglass and MultiEVA cores, which grant them a great compromise between comfort, ease of play, power, and control.

They are also notably best buys, usually on sale for under €200.

This model has a round shape, similar to a teardrop, which creates a medium balance. Players will notice that its medium-soft touch results in the ball being absorbed slightly upon impact. This high ball output can help propel the ball across the net during low-speed shots but may result in a loss of power in smashes.

Reviewers note: the racket was tested in comparison with other control rackets - Metheora Dual, Adipower CTRL 3.2 - at 25°C.
