Our verdict
The Bullpadel Xplo Premier Padel 2026 Di Nenno sits in a curious position: classified as a control frame but scoring 92 on power, making it one of the most explosive options at the intermediate level. The foam core at 375 g delivers fast, heavy ball exit on smashes and viboras despite the stated intent. Control at 74 is the honest trade-off: this is a frame for players ready to prioritise attacking pace. Comfort at 64 is low, so arm-sensitive players should be cautious. PRR score: 90/100.
The Xplo is the newest of Bullpadel's tour lines, built with Martín Di Nenno and slotted between the Vertex's raw power and the Neuron's control. It is a hybrid in the truest sense: quick enough through the air to defend, with a face that loads up genuine finishing pace. In barely three seasons it has gone from new arrival to one of the strongest performers in our database, with Di Nenno's editions scoring 89 to 90 and the Comfort trim opening the line to players who want the character without the stiffness.
Which one should you buy?
The 2027 Xplo (PRR 88) is the pick if you want Bullpadel's single most extreme power racket -- by the brand's own description, and by our scoring, it's the hardest-hitting frame they have ever made, with an extremely high balance point and a small, focused hitting area that rewards clean contact and punishes anything else. If that trade-off sounds like too much, the Xplo CMF (PRR 85) keeps almost all of that power (88 vs a class-leading raw number) with a meaningfully larger, more forgiving sweet spot and a softer face -- for most advanced players, it is genuinely the smarter buy, not a lesser one.
The 2026 Xplo (PRR 90, matching Di Nenno's edition) remains a complete modern hybrid and is now the value pick if you find it discounted following the 2027 launch. The 2025 Xplo (PRR 89) is near-identical value when discounted further. If you want more raw smash than even the Xplo line offers, the Vertex 05 Geo is the stablemate to consider.
The catalogue calls it a control frame; the way it plays says otherwise. The lively foam core sends smashes and attacking drives out with exceptional speed, making this one of the most explosive rackets in its bracket. Treat it as attacking equipment: technique is essential because sloppy contact costs placement, mishits are punished, and hard sessions will be felt in the arm.
