Bullpadel Hack 04 2025 Reviews

With the Hesacore removed, aggressive blocks, counterattacks and víboras work well with the firm, dry contact. Slower shots and off-centre hits need more work; the Vertex remains the more comfortable all-round choice.

Removing the Hesacore and fitting two overgrips produces a 366 g, 27 cm setup with heavy volleys, good spin and confident blocks. Late or off-centre contact leaves the ball short, and repeated overheads tire the arm.

With the Hesacore retained at a 25.5 cm balance, control and spin on víboras work well. Kick smashes get some help, but flat smashes and volleys lack the head weight expected from older Hacks.

Lobs and blocks come easily, with comfortable handling and useful spin. Smashes need little effort, but exaggerated swings on wall attacks and overheads can send the ball long; controlled depth requires restraint.

Volleys and sliced wall attacks are satisfying, while smashes have useful power. Blocks feel vibration-free, but lobs need accurate contact and become difficult away from the centre.

Removing the Hesacore leaves a 364 g, 27 cm setup that hits heavy volleys and spin-heavy bandejas, but is harder to prepare in defence. In cold Madrid tests with used balls, its smash distance is similar to the Xplo.
