Best for defensive and all-court players, and anyone with a sensitive arm, who want speed and comfort over smash power.
A light, quick teardrop for patient defensive and all-court players, and for anyone who needs an arm-friendly frame. Handling and comfort are its best qualities, with solid control and a forgiving sweet spot. The trade-off is power: it rewards technique and a full swing rather than finishing points for you. Buy it for speed and consistency.
Modest rather than headline: the face returns little free pace, so smashes, bandejas and viboras need real technique and a full swing. Aggressive net players will find the punch polite.
Solid rather than exceptional. Blocks, lobs and chip returns leave the face predictably and with plenty of height, which suits a patient, keep-the-ball-in-play game.
Excellent, and the strongest trait. At around 355 g with a medium balance, it is one of the quickest rackets to move in the Bullpadel range, and every review agrees on its handling at the net and in defence.
Generous. Off-centre contact on awkward defensive balls is forgiven, so mishits lose little pace or direction.
Very gentle on the arm. The soft multilayer core takes the sting out of impact and keeps the arm fresh over long sessions, which makes it a good choice for a sensitive elbow or shoulder.
