Diamond • modern power • TopSpin texture
Bullpadel Vertex 04 2025 — Review
Powerful diamond with a crisp, modern feel. Shines for attackers who want bite on volleys and easy overhead finish, while keeping control respectable off the glass.

Verdict
Big power without chaos: it keeps the line tight and directional control intact. The textured face adds real spin help and the build feels robust and stable. High balance can tire casual arms and it’s not the plushest on mishits.
