Our verdict
The Ionic Power 26 carries a beginner label over a genuinely keen card: power 79 from a multilayer-foam hybrid, with control 66 and the firm-ish 66/66 comfort-tolerance pairing that improving attackers handle and new players fight. Value 78 is honest. The label logic seems to be the even balance and forgiving foam, which do soften the entry; the output does not. As with every mislabelled keen frame: athletic beginners from racket sports will enjoy the headroom, true novices will learn faster on gentler equipment. Know which beginner you are before buying.
Prices updated automatically. UK/USA stores show their own price first with the EUR equivalent in brackets for comparison (indicative rate); you pay the store's price and they ship to that region only. Some links are affiliate links — we earn a small commission at no cost to you.
Real headroom to grow into: power here is genuinely keen for a frame marketed at beginners, and the multilayer foam core softens the entry so it doesn't feel like a full attacking weapon on day one. Bullpadel's build quality is present throughout. Control punishes learning-stage contact more than the label suggests, so true novices may find the Ionic Control teaches better fundamentals first.
