The Bullpadel Hack 04 and Xplo are both designed for explosive power, but the Xplo edges ahead in raw impact. The Neuron Edge, meanwhile, prioritizes comfort and control for long matches.
Neuron Edge: Ergonomics and Control
The Bullpadel Neuron Edge, used by Fede Chingotto, has evolved into one of the most ergonomic rackets in Bullpadel’s lineup. The 2026 version introduces a redesigned frame that absorbs vibrations more effectively, reducing arm fatigue during extended rallies. Its hybrid shape and medium balance make it ideal for players who prioritize precision and comfort over brute force. The EVA Soft Performance core ensures a forgiving feel, while the outer surface—typically a mix of carbon and fiberglass—offers a balanced response across defensive and attacking shots.
Hack 04: Power with Precision
Paquito Navarro’s Bullpadel Hack 04 remains a favorite among aggressive players. Built with Tricarbon 18K carbon and a diamond shape, it delivers high-impact power while maintaining a surprising level of control. The Air React Channel enhances swing speed, and the 3DGrain texture improves spin on bandejas and viboras. With a weight range of 365–375g and high balance, the Hack 04 is tailored for players who dominate at the net and rely on dynamic shot-making.
“The Hack 04 gives me the confidence to go for every smash without hesitation.” — Paquito Navarro
Xplo: Pure Offensive Power
Martín Di Nenno’s Bullpadel Xplo is engineered for maximum power. It features a diamond shape, high balance, and a 12K carbon surface that amplifies every smash. The EVA Soft Performance core adds explosiveness, making it ideal for players who thrive on aerial battles and offensive pressure. Compared to the Hack 04, the Xplo sacrifices a bit of control for unmatched impact, making it Bullpadel’s most powerful racket to date.
“The Xplo is a beast. It’s built for players who want to dominate every point.” — Martín Di Nenno
