Bullpadel Vertex Junior

The Vertex Junior 2026 is the diamond-profile member of Bullpadel's junior line, offered in a 335 to 345 g spread: power 70 with balanced terms (comfort 71, tolerance 72) and quick handling (73). Face documentation is incomplete. Value 80 continues the family's correct economics. The weight options are the practical differentiator at this age group, where six months changes everything. Between the Vertex juniors, this edition's spread and diamond geometry suit growing attackers best; the fixed-weight editions suit kids whose size has settled. All of them teach properly.
