Design details
New Air Power technology
This technology follows on from the Air React Channel, a channel created from a hollow piece at the racket throat. This piece is lighter and less susceptible to warping, resulting in a stronger structure.
New Curvaktiv system
The twisted structure of the racket's frame offers more stiffness for maximum resistance to torsion.
External material: 12K XT-Carbon
The integrated Xtend Carbon from Bullpadel comes in three different weaves: 18K, 12K and 3K. The difference between them is the thickness of the fibres. Their resistance and weight vary and whichever you pick will also impact your playing style.
Internal material: MultiEVA
EVA foam comes in several densities: the higher the density, the harder it is. Hardness is one of the properties of this material, so it's easy to tweak the density for more power.The dual-density MultiEva foam is softer.
XTend Carbon 12K technology
The XTend Carbon fibre from Bullpadel is characterised by the use of strips of carbon instead of threads. These strips are interwoven in two directions to increase both rigidity and durability. This material also reduces the racket weight by 20 to 30% compared to the most commonly used carbon fibre.
Vertex throat technology
A design feature a the racket throat that distributes weight evenly across the racket to reduce vibration and twisting and increase rigidity. The diamond-shaped head combined with this technology makes the racket more rigid during volleys and powerful shots.
VibraDrive technology
Assembly system in the racket handle into which high-density foam is inserted. This piece absorbs most vibrations, generally from off-centre shots.
Top Spin technology
Rough surface finish for easier handling - it keeps the ball in contact with the racket for longer for more spin and better shots.
Carbon Tube technology
100% carbon fibres are integrated into the frame, woven in different directions to achieve the perfect balance of power and control.
Grip Custom Weight
The Grip Custom Weight on the racket grip features a cap that can be replaced with a heavier one (5 to 10 g) to obtain the desired level of power or control.
Hesacore Technology
Honeycomb handle for optimized grip, added comfort and reduced fatigue.
Weight: 365-375 g
The weight is measured in grams. Just like the balance point, the weight impacts a racket's swingweight and therefore its manoeuvrability, stability and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racket, the more power you'll get, but the harder it will be to handle. Conversely, the lighter the racket, the easier it will be to handle, but the less powerful it will be.
Balance: High
This is the racket balance point, measured in millimetres from the bottom of the racket handle.
The larger the number (head-heavy balance), the more power and stability you'll get from the racket and the heavier it will feel (even if it's not a heavy racket). However, you'll have to give up some manoeuvrability. The smaller the number (grip biased or handle heavy), the easier the racket will be to handle, but the less power and stability you'll get.
