The Bullpadel Vertex 04 Woman is Delfi Brea's signature racket for 2025: diamond shape, Fibrix face (carbon + fiberglass), 345-360g. Lighter than most rackets for experienced female players in its segment, with Fibrix for comfort and maneuverability.
The Vertex 04 W 25 weighs 345–360g, the lightest in the reviews for experienced female players. Diamond shape, head-heavy balance, 38mm profile. The face is Fibrix (carbon/fiberglass hybrid); the core is MultiEVA (medium-hard).
Vertex 04 Woman vs standard Vertex 04:
| Vertex 04 (standard) | Vertex 04 Woman | |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | 360-375g | 345-360g |
| Face | Carbon (12K) | Fibrix (C+GF) |
| Tolerance | Lower | Higher |
| Who it suits | Experienced (mixed) | Experienced female |
The Woman version is 15g lighter, noticeable in maneuverability on a head-heavy diamond. The Fibrix face replaces the standard version's harder carbon and provides more tolerance and comfort.
Technologies:
- Fibrix, carbon/fiberglass hybrid for comfort and tolerance
- MultiEVA, multilayer core for a power-comfort balance
- Air React Channel, aerodynamic bridge design
- Metalshield, aluminum frame protection
Maneuverability is 9/10, the standout score. 345-360g is the lightest in this segment for experienced female players. Low weight is noticeable in fast net exchanges or quick defensive positioning.
Sweetspot is 8/10, large for a diamond shape. Fibrix is inherently softer than pure carbon, enlarging the effective contact area. A "genuinely broad sweetspot", useful for female players who do not always hit the exact center.
Comfort is 8/10. Fibrix + MultiEVA provide a medium-soft contact feel. "Excellent comfort combined with superior control." This is relevant for female players sensitive to hard contact or vibrations.
Power is limited to 7/10. Fibrix absorbs some energy at maximum impact, with less direct energy transfer than pure carbon. Overhead smashes are less powerful than with harder carbon alternatives. Low weight (345-360g) allows faster swing speed, partially compensating.
Technically yes, its specifications suit any player. It is designed for experienced female players, however: lighter construction (345-360g), Fibrix for comfort and Delfi Brea's signature. Men wanting a light Fibrix diamond could also consider the Hack 03 Comfort.
The Woman version is lighter (345-360g vs 360-375g) and has a Fibrix face (carbon + fiberglass) instead of the standard version's pure carbon. This gives more comfort and tolerance, but slightly less maximum power. Specifically designed for experienced female players.

What you will notice as a player
The smash gets plenty of easy power; you do not need a full follow-through to put the ball away.
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.
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 | Comfortable and stable; aiming is easy and you keep the ball low. |
| Bandeja | Very easy to control: the ball stays low and predictable, ideal for controlling the court. |
| Vibora | Enough bite for a quick brushing shot with some acceleration of your own. |
| Smash | Its strongest point: maximum power with little effort, sending the ball away like a rocket. |
| Block | Stable: the racket is ready in time and returns the ball with control. |
| Off-center ball | Forgiving: just outside the sweet spot you lose little and the ball stays on course. |
