Although both the Xplo and the Bullpadel Hack 04 are made for explosive power, the Xplo has a stronger raw impact. For extended games, the Neuron Edge puts comfort and control first.
Neuron Edge: Control and Ergonomics
Fede Chingotto’s Bullpadel Neuron Edge has developed into one of the company’s most ergonomic rackets. In order to lessen arm fatigue during protracted rallies, the 2026 model features a revised frame that absorbs vibrations more efficiently. For players who value comfort and accuracy above force, its hybrid design and medium balance make it perfect. The outer surface, which is usually a combination of fiberglass and carbon, provides a balanced response for both attacking and defensive shots, while the EVA Soft Performance core guarantees a forgiving feel.
Hack 04: Using Power with Accuracy
Aggressive players continue to utilize Paquito Navarro’s Bullpadel Hack 04 as their go-to tool. Constructed with diamond-shaped Tricarbon 18K carbon, it provides great impact power with surprisingly high control. The 3DGrain texture boosts spin on bandejas and viboras, while the Air React Channel increases swing speed. The Hack 04 is designed for players who dominate at the net and depend on dynamic shot-making because of its high balance and weight range of 365–375g.
“The Hack 04 gives me the confidence to go for every smash without hesitation.” — Paquito Navarro
Xplo: Unadulterated Power in Attack
Bullpadel Xplo by Martin Di Nenno is designed to have the most power possible. It has a 12K carbon surface that amplifies every smash, a diamond shape, and excellent balance. For athletes who thrive on aerial clashes and offensive pressure, the EVA Soft Performance core offers explosiveness. The Xplo is Bullpadel’s most potent racket to date, giving up some control for unparalleled impact in comparison to the Hack 04.
“What a beast the Xplo is. Players that wish to control every point are the target audience. — Martin Di Nenno
