Within Bullpadel, this is Gemma Triay's signature model. Unlike the attacking women's diamonds, versatility comes first here: a teardrop with medium balance to balance control and power.
Bullpadel top-end women's models 2026:
| Model | Shape | Balance | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elite Woman | Teardrop | Medium | Versatile all-round |
| Vertex 05 Woman | Diamond | Medium-high | Versatile attack |
| Pearl 2026 | Diamond | High | Easy power |
Technologies:
- Fibrix, a weave of flexible fiberglass and stiff carbon for a balanced response
- MultiEva, a multi-density foam core balancing punch and tolerance
- Elite Core, structural frame tuning for the Elite range
- Air React Channel, a channel reducing air resistance for agility
Maneuverability 9 is the key rating. At 350-360g and with medium balance, the racket recovers quickly at the net and in defensive positions. That is the starting point for technical women players seeking confidence in every shot.
The teardrop shape with medium balance distinguishes it from the women's diamonds. Its center of gravity sits more centrally, benefiting control (8/10) and defense (8/10) and keeping the sweet spot generous (8/10). The Fibrix face and MultiEva core provide accessible, comfortable contact (comfort 8/10) and soften off-center contact (forgiveness 8/10).
Power is 7/10 and smash is 7/10. Medium balance gives less head weight than a diamond, so pure attacking power is not its strongest side. In return, you get versatility: a racket that both builds and finishes points without extremes.
This profile matches other light top-end women's models such as the Vertex 05 Woman (score 8.1): agile, comfortable and versatile. The difference is in the shape: the Elite is a control-oriented teardrop, the Vertex a more attacking diamond. For pure power, look at the Pearl 2026 or Vertex 05 Woman.
For technical all-round women players who have mastered the basics. The teardrop shape and medium balance make it versatile and agile, balancing control and power. It is Gemma Triay's signature model.
The Elite Woman is a teardrop with medium balance, focused on control and versatility. The Vertex 05 Woman is a diamond with a slightly higher balance and more attacking character. Both are light top-end women's models (score 8.1); choose the Elite for control and the Vertex for attack.
Yes. The Elite Woman 2026 is Gemma Triay's signature model, tuned for a technical all-round playing style that wants confidence in every shot.
To a limited extent. Medium balance and the teardrop shape provide a usable smash 7, but control and versatility are the priorities. For pure attacking power, choose a women's diamond such as the Pearl 2026 or Vertex 05 Woman.
Advantages
Maneuverability 9: light (350-360g) and fast at the net
Control 8 and defense 8: the teardrop shape and medium balance make it versatile
Sweet spot 8 and forgiveness 8: tolerant of off-center contact
Comfort 8: the Fibrix face and MultiEva core provide an accessible contact feel
Considerations
Less explosive power than a high-balance diamond (smash 7)
Medium balance provides less head weight for pure attack
Power players will find more in a women's diamond
What you will notice as a player
At the net you react very quickly: blocks and fast volleys feel almost effortless.
The racket helps in defense: a calm swing sends balls off the glass deep again.
The sweet spot offers forgiveness: slightly imperfect contact loses little accuracy.
Comfortable in long matches: the racket cushions contact well, with little feedback in your arm.
No pronounced weakness, but no single shot where the racket particularly stands out either.
Which shots are affected most?
| Situation | What will you notice? |
|---|---|
| Defense | Plenty of help: the low balance and generous sweet spot return balls off the glass calmly and deep. |
| Volley | Crisp and agile: aiming feels effortless and late adjustments remain possible. |
| Bandeja | Very easy to control: the ball stays low and predictable, ideal for controlling the court. |
| Vibora | It works, but speed and bite must mostly come from your own technique. |
| Smash | Enough power, but you still need to put considerable effort into the swing. |
| Block | A strong point: the racket is ready very quickly and returns the ball with control. |
| Off-center ball | Forgiving: just outside the sweet spot you lose little and the ball stays on course. |
