The Vertex 05 scores higher and costs less. The Ultimate only makes sense if one of its own strengths is the one you play for.
What is different
Four things change between them. Pick one to look closer.
Carbon against fibreglass: the Ultimate's carbon is stiffer and more precise, the Vertex 05's fibreglass is softer, gives the ball more pop at low speed and forgives more.
Edge: the Ultimate, for precision
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
About the same weight: 350 to 360 g and 355 g.
No edge either way
The balance point is not listed for both.
No edge either way
* Drawn to scale: a 455 mm racket in its shape's outline (traced from a real racket of that shape), with the balance point the shops list marked on it. Real rackets vary by a few millimetres.
