Our verdict
This Argentina edition of the Vertex 04 celebrates Juan Tello with the multilayer EVA build and the full-blooded hitting the 04 was known for: power 92 turns any short ball into a finish, and drives land heavy. The rest of the card is vintage Vertex too. Control 73 wants targets chosen early, comfort 64 keeps the strike firm, and tolerance 63 gives mishits nothing. As a limited edition it trades partly on the shirt-and-flag looks, but value 74 says the racket underneath still justifies itself. For committed attackers with a soft spot for Tello, it is a fun, serious frame.
The Bullpadel Vertex is the brand's flagship power line and one of the most consistent shapes in professional padel. Every generation holds to the same core brief: full diamond shape, Bullpadel's stiffest carbon layups, and a high balance point built for attacking players who want to finish points overhead. The silhouette has barely changed since the line launched, and that consistency is exactly the point.
We have tracked the Vertex since the 03 generation, which scored PRR 84 and locked in the modern formula. It was a stiff, smash-first frame with little interest in compromise, built for players who construct points from the back-court and close them out with pace through the glass or overhead. The Vertex 04 moved things on meaningfully: better weight distribution, a sweet spot that stopped punishing off-centre contact quite so hard, and a PRR score of 89. That generation also spawned Comfort and limited player editions, which showed Bullpadel thinking seriously about the range of players who reach for the Vertex name.
The Vertex 05 launched in 2025-2026 at PRR 93, the highest score we have given any Vertex. The 2027 refresh of the mainline settles at PRR 87 with a more even balance point built for genuine baseline-to-net versatility rather than pure attack, and it now anchors a wider family of five distinct builds rather than one frame with trims bolted on. The Vertex 05 Geo reshapes the head geometrically for the largest sweet spot in the whole family and leans back toward outright power (PRR 86). The Vertex 05 Hybrid takes the shortest balance point in the range and is purpose-built for baseline control (PRR 86). The Vertex 05 W is Delfi Brea's lighter, women's-specific build of the same power-diamond DNA (PRR 83). Across our database, the Vertex family has more published rackets than any other series, and the numbered generation remains the reference frame that every other Bullpadel power racket gets measured against.
Which one should you buy?
The 2027 Vertex 05 (PRR 87) is the pick if you want a genuinely versatile, current-generation Vertex that plays from the baseline as comfortably as it attacks at the net. If you want the outright power the Vertex name is known for, the Vertex 05 Geo (PRR 86) is the better choice -- its geometric head trades a little control for the largest sweet spot in the family, so it hits hard without being unforgiving. If your game is built around defensive consistency and quick hands rather than finishing power, the Vertex 05 Hybrid (PRR 86) is the one to buy instead. Delfi Brea's Vertex 05 W (PRR 83) is the pick for a lighter, women's-specific build of the same attacking character.
The 2025-2026 Vertex 05 mainline (PRR 93) is still an outstanding racket and, now discounted, is genuinely the best-value pure-power buy in the whole Bullpadel catalogue if you can find stock -- it remains the single highest score any Vertex has posted with us. The Vertex 04 (PRR 89) is the smart budget buy while stock lasts. Step back to the Vertex 03 (PRR 84) only at a steep discount; it is the most demanding generation in the line.
The generation that cemented the modern Vertex formula: full diamond shape, aggressive high balance, and a stiff carbon face built for smash-first padel. PRR 84.
A meaningful update — better weight distribution and a slightly more forgiving sweet spot without giving up top-end power. Spawned Comfort and limited player editions. PRR 89.
The current flagship, headlined by Juan Tello's edition (PRR 93). Geo, Hybrid and Light variants widen the family; the mainline stays a pure attacking frame.
Collector appeal with genuine tour internals underneath: the full-blooded hitting this generation was known for is intact, turning any short ball into a finish, with drives that land heavy. The strike is old-school firm, wandering contact is punished, and limited runs like this sell out — resale prices climb once they do. A tribute frame that still plays like it means it.
