“The Vertex 04 in its 25 build is the value play in Bullpadel's attack catalogue: power 92 from the head-heavy diamond and multilayer EVA core, a carbon face that keeps the strike dense, and value 80 because the 05 generation pushed its price down without pushing its pace down.”

Our verdict
The Vertex 04 in its 25 build is the value play in Bullpadel's attack catalogue: power 92 from the head-heavy diamond and multilayer EVA core, a carbon face that keeps the strike dense, and value 80 because the 05 generation pushed its price down without pushing its pace down. The compromises are unchanged. Control 73 asks for discipline, comfort 64 is firm across long sessions, and tolerance 63 makes clean striking mandatory rather than optional. If you want the Vertex remate and can live with an older frame, this is the smart money.

The previous-generation flagship at a price the newer one pushed down without pushing the pace down — it still embarrasses plenty of current mid-range frames on the smash, with the classic head-heavy finishing feel intact. The compromises are unchanged: a firm, demanding strike, little forgiveness off-centre, and the newer generation handles noticeably better between shots if the budget stretches.
