Bullpadel Vertex 04 Woman 2024 Delfi Brea

Technologies

Pros

• ✓The diamond shape with medium-high balance stacks mass up top and multiplies ball speed on the smash by 3 and on the cross-court vibora without forcing you to overswing The Fibrix face blends carbon and fiberglass, so impact isn't as harsh as pure carbon: the ball stays on the string bed a fraction longer and pops off with less effort The sandy finish bites into the ball nicely on cut smashes and lifted bandejas, generating more spin in shots where a smoother finish would just push the ball flat The Custom Weight system lets you shift balance up or down depending on whether you want more punch at net or sharper reaction off the back wall Air Power and the 38mm profile keep the racket nimble through grip changes and fast volleys despite its clearly offensive character

Cons

• ✗The sweet spot is narrow and sits high on the face: hits below center come out muted and vibration-heavy, especially when scrambling on defense The Multieva core plays firm rather than soft; in long matches it demands trained elbow and shoulder and punishes anyone without solid stroke technique The medium-high balance forces earlier prep on deep wall exits; if you're rushed, the defensive lob falls short and you hand over the net At 350-360g with a power-oriented profile, it's unforgiving toward blocking play or passive baseline rallying: it loses its point if you're not finishing points at net

Delfi Brea has her name on the Bullpadel Vertex 04 Woman 2024: a 350-360g diamond shape, 38mm frame, Fibrix face (carbon with fiberglass) and Multieva core. Medium-high balance, sandy finish, and an attacking intent it makes no effort to hide.

The diamond shape Delfi Brea uses to close out points at net

The Vertex line is Bullpadel's offensive wing, and this Delfi Brea signature pushes that DNA to the limit: power calls the shots and control acts as a safety net, not the main argument.

The diamond shape pushes mass toward the top of the face. On court, that means when you connect on the smash or the vibora in the right spot, the ball comes off the strings at a speed you didn't have to manufacture by overswinging.

That geometry has a cost. The sweet spot is narrow and sits clearly up top: hits that land below center come back flat, with little pace and a noticeable vibration in the hand.

What do Fibrix, Multieva and Vertex Core bring to this padel racket?

The Fibrix face combines carbon with fiberglass. That blend softens impact compared to a pure carbon face: there's a touch of flex that holds the ball on the strings a fraction longer and improves ball exit on shots you don't quite catch clean.

The Multieva core uses rubbers of different densities within the same piece. The hitting zone responds firm — this isn't a soft-touch racket — but the transition toward the edges keeps mishits from coming back as a dead bounce.

Vertex Core reinforces the upper part of the face, right where the diamond shape concentrates the work, and the 38mm frame adds the structural stiffness a smash-focused model needs.

The Bullpadel Vertex 04 Woman 2024, shot by shot

• **Smash and flat overhead:** its natural territory. The top-heavy mass and 38mm frame drive the ball through with enough progression to close out points without needing the perfect angle.
• **Vibora and bandeja:** the sandy finish grips the ball well and lets you carve in spin. The bandeja comes off with real weight, though it demands a firm wrist to avoid opening the face too much.
• **Volley:** nimble for what the shape promises, thanks to Air Power. The block volley needs a centered hit; off-center, it loses depth.
• **Wall exit:** requires early preparation. If the ball crowds you, the medium-high balance leaves no room to improvise and the defensive lob falls short.
• **Defense and lob:** solid when you get there in time, but it's not a racket that forgives bad positioning.

Air Power and Custom Weight: arm speed and fine-tuning

Air Power aims to keep the racket moving cleanly through the swing despite its heavy-hitting character, which pays off in fast cross-court volley exchanges.

Custom Weight is the tool that changes the racket most in practice: adding weight up top turns it into an even more pronounced hammer, while shifting it toward the handle makes it a touch more manageable off the back wall and on defense. It's worth testing both setups before settling on one.

What level is the Vertex 04 Woman 2024 built for?

This Bullpadel model is built for advanced players with solid technique and an attacking net game. It demands a trained arm, centered contact and a willingness to finish points at the net. Anyone playing from the back, blocking and waiting for the opponent's error, won't get the most out of it.

It's a particularly good fit for a backhand-side player who attacks through the middle and needs a racket that turns the bandeja into a vibora and the vibora into a winner. As a doubles pairing, it works best alongside someone running a more control-oriented model to sustain the rally while this one closes it out.

What you gain and what you trade off with this Vertex

You gain a racket that genuinely hits hard, with more generous ball exit than most stiff diamond shapes offer, plus real customization thanks to Custom Weight.

What you trade off is precision: the narrow sweet spot punishes off days, and the firm Multieva response demands physical conditioning. If you want comfort and forgiveness, round shapes will give you more margin; if you want to smash like Delfi Brea, this is the right direction.
