Agile • Control focused • Comfortable
The Bullpadel Vertex 05 Light Premier 2026 is the lighter Vertex 05 version, developed with Delfi Brea in the Premier Padel color scheme. A 350-360g diamond with a Fibrix face and Multieva core: Vertex attacking character on a more maneuverable, comfortable platform. Maneuverability 9, comfort 8.
The Bullpadel Vertex 05 Light Premier 2026 weighs 350–360g, with a diamond shape and medium-high balance. Profile 38mm. Face: Fibrix (carbon/fiberglass). Core: Multieva. Frame: 100% Carbon Tube. RRP ~€310, in the Premier Padel color scheme.
Within the Vertex range, this is the light Vertex 05 version: the same attacking character, but lighter and with a softer face. It was developed with Delfi Brea.
Vertex 05 versions for 2026:
| Model | Face | Weight | Balance | Character |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vertex 05 | X-Tend Carbon 12K | Heavier | Medium-high | Maximum power |
| Vertex 05 Light Premier | Fibrix | 350-360g | Medium-high | Light and maneuverable |
| Vertex 05 Hybrid | Xtend Carbon 12K | 360-375g | Medium | Attack and control |
Technologies:
- Fibrix, weave of flexible fiberglass and stiff carbon for a softer response
- Multieva, multi-density foam core balancing punch and tolerance
- Vertex 05 Core, updated core with a double diagonal bridge for stability
- Air React Channel, channel that reduces air resistance for maneuverability
- CustomWeight, plates to adjust the balance
Maneuverability 9 is the core score. At 350-360g, this is one of the lightest rackets in the Vertex range: it recovers quickly at the net and in defensive positions. For players wanting Vertex attacking character without standard-model weight, that is the starting point.
The Fibrix face determines contact feel. Its weave of flexible fiberglass and stiff carbon is softer than the standard Vertex 05's X-Tend Carbon 12K: comfort 8/10 and forgiving contact (forgiveness 8/10). The Multieva core and Vertex 05 Core with a double diagonal bridge keep it stable despite low weight.
Diamond shape with medium-high balance retains attacking character: smash 8/10 and useful power 7/10. Low weight provides less mass and drive on full shots than the heavier standard Vertex 05 (power 10), however. That is the key tradeoff: maneuverability and comfort versus explosive drive.
Control is 8/10. Fibrix, low weight and balanced response make placement more accessible than with the stiffer standard model. Those seeking maximum carbon power choose the standard Vertex 05; those wanting balanced control and power choose the Vertex 05 Hybrid.
The standard Vertex 05 has an X-Tend Carbon 12K face and weighs more: maximum power 10 (score 7.9). The Light Premier is lighter (350-360g) with a softer Fibrix face: more maneuverable and comfortable, but less explosive drive. Choose the standard for power, the Light for maneuverability.
For experienced players wanting the Vertex diamond in a lighter version. Low weight and the Fibrix face make it more maneuverable and comfortable than the standard model, while medium-high balance retains attacking character and smash 8.
The Vertex 05 Light Premier was developed with Delfi Brea, in the Premier Padel color scheme. Brea plays the lighter versions within the Vertex range; the female counterpart is the Vertex 05 Woman 2026.
The Light version is weight-optimized (350-360g versus the heavier standard) for extra maneuverability and faster reactions. This sacrifices some of the mass and drive giving the standard Vertex 05 its power.
Advantages
Maneuverability 9: low weight (350-360g) makes it quick at the net and in defense
Comfort 8: the Fibrix face is softer than the standard Vertex 05's X-Tend Carbon 12K
Retains diamond shape and medium-high balance: smash 8 and attacking character remain intact
Vertex 05 Core with a double diagonal bridge for stability
Considerations
Sacrifices some explosive carbon power compared with the standard Vertex 05
Low weight gives less mass and drive on full shots
Defense 7: the diamond shape remains attack-focused
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 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 | Reasonable: a calm swing returns most balls off the glass. |
| 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 | 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. |
