Bullpadel Elite Light W Mujer 2023

Technologies

Pros

• ✓Trimming the weight down to 350-360g on a medium-balance teardrop racket means the head arrives on time for double-wall retrievals and fast reflex volleys, where a heavier racket already forces you to shorten your swing. The Multieva core blends different foam densities so the ball comes off the face with real pace without turning erratic: the bandeja carries a comfortable, controlled trajectory and the pinchada holds whatever height you ask of it. The Glaphite face (fiberglass plus carbon) flexes more than a pure carbon face, filtering out vibration on flat smash blocks and rushed wall exits. The rough 3D Grain texture genuinely bites into the ball: on cut viboras and touch dropshots with spin, the extra grip is noticeably better than on smooth surfaces. The CarbonTube frame, 100% carbon in the tubular structure, keeps everything rigid despite the weight cut, so the 38mm profile never feels soft on off-center hits.

Cons

• ✗At 350-360g with a medium balance, this isn't a racket built for crushing smashes: on the remate por 3 you need to bring your own arm speed and mechanics, because the racket won't add the extra yards for you. The Glaphite face's flex costs a bit of crisp feedback on aggressive blocked volleys; anyone used to a pure carbon face will find this racket noticeably more cushioned. The teardrop shape puts the sweet spot above the geometric center, so low defensive shots played close to the string bed come back with less pop. This is a competition-oriented racket: a player still learning the fundamentals of ball-striking won't get the full benefit of either the 3D Grain texture or the Multieva core's dosed response.

Bullpadel Elite Light W 2023: Gemma Triay's Elite Now at 350-360g

Shaving grams off a competition racket is never just cosmetic — it changes the exact moment the head arrives at the point of impact. The Bullpadel Elite Light W 2023 is built entirely around that idea: keep the teardrop shape, the 38mm frame, the CarbonTube construction and the Glaphite face from Gemma Triay's signature model, and drop the weight to 350-360g so the racket gets there sooner.

What Actually Changes When You Lighten the Bullpadel Elite?

The light version of the Elite keeps the DNA of the player's racket but shifts the balance toward maneuverability. At 350-360g with a medium balance, this padel racket sets up faster on reflex volleys, double-wall defense, and mid-court grip changes. You lose some mass behind the ball; you gain time.

That trade-off tells you exactly who it's for. If your game thrives on quick hands and closing points through placement and disguise rather than raw power, the lighter build works in your favor. If your bread and butter is the flat power smash, you'll notice you have to generate more of it yourself.

Glaphite and Multieva: Why This Racket Forgives More Than It Looks

The Glaphite face blends fiberglass with carbon. On court, that means a hitting surface with more give than pure carbon: the ball stays on the strings a fraction longer, impact transmits with less harshness through to your elbow, and blocked flat smashes don't kick back off the face in an uncontrolled way.

The cost of that flex is a slightly less instant response. Anyone coming from a pure carbon face will feel the Elite Light W as more cushioned on aggressive blocked volleys.

The Multieva core runs multiple foam densities within the same block. On court, that translates into fast ball exit without the racket ever feeling like it's running away from you — you can crank up a vibora one point and then dial back a long bandeja to the glass the next, without the ball sailing over the back fence.

The CarbonTube frame uses 100% carbon in its tubular structure. It's what keeps the weight cut from becoming a structural weakness: the 38mm profile stays rigid and never feels hollow on off-center contact.

Shot-by-Shot Breakdown: Where It Shines, Where It Leaves You Hanging

Bandeja and vibora. This is home turf for the racket. The teardrop shape places the sweet spot just above center, and with the 3D Grain surface, the ball really bites. Cut viboras come off with clean side spin, and the bandeja holds its line without you having to force the swing.

Remate por 3 and kick smash. Time for some honesty. At 350-360g, this racket doesn't hand you free power: the remate por 3 only lands if you generate it yourself through mechanics and arm speed. As a finishing weapon it's solid, not devastating.

Defense and wall exits. The lighter weight lets you reach balls a heavier racket would let go, and the Glaphite face's flex helps on rushed exits. On very low defensive shots near the string bed, though, the teardrop shape gives you less pop than a round racket would.

Volleys. Quick to set up, comfortable in fast exchanges. Reaction time wins out over raw punch here.

Who Should Actually Be Playing With This Bullpadel?

This Bullpadel model is aimed at competition-level, all-round players. It fits three profiles in particular:

1. **Net players with fast hands** who'd rather close points with placement and spin than brute force.
2. **Current Elite owners looking to shed some weight** without losing what made the original model work.
3. **Players managing elbow or wrist issues** who need a softer hitting surface and a racket that doesn't punish every single impact.

As a doubles partner, it works best alongside someone who takes on the pure finisher role, while this racket handles rhythm, the bandeja, and point construction.

This isn't a beginner's racket. The 3D Grain surface and the Multieva core's dosed feel only pay off once you already know how to impart spin on purpose.

Verdict: Lightweight Build, Competition Character

The Bullpadel Elite Light W 2023 solves a very specific problem — the advanced player for whom a heavier racket arrives just a beat too late — without dumbing the racket down to beginner territory. The 38mm frame, CarbonTube, Glaphite and Multieva combine into a coherent package: control over raw power, lively ball exit, and maneuverability as its headline strength.

What you shouldn't expect is a smash that wins points on its own. This padel racket gives you time, grip and touch — the firepower is still on you.
