Bullpadel has replaced the Vertex CTR with the the Vertex Hybrid, which despite not being a round-shaped racket, plays like one.
We recommend this racket for right-side players who thrive in the defense game and want a racket to help them further optimize their defense.
The balance is low, which means that you’ll have a lot of extra time to perfectly place your shot. This also means that this racket can be easier to use than the rest of the Vertex’s for beginners.
It is softer than the Neuron, so it is plays with more comfort and less precision.
The sandblasted finish really grabs the ball.
