In shortPlayers are split. Some find a good mix of power and control, with precise placement and quick handling at the net. Several find it demanding, with an unpredictable sweet spot, less smash power than hoped, and little improvement over the Vertex 03. Suits experienced players better than those stepping up.

Owns the Vertex 04 2024 and found it needs more effort to generate power than a borrowed Vertex 03.
“Yo tengo una bullpadel Vertex 4 del 2024 (la negra y roja). Hoy me han dejado una Vertex 03. Y he notado que con la Vertex 03 tenía que hacer menos esfuerzo que con la mía.”
Older than 24 months. These may describe an earlier version.
Moved up from a Hack Comfort to the new Vertex 04 and struggled with control, going back to the Comfort. Finds the Vertex needs proper technique and a full swing on every shot, an advanced player's racket, while the Comfort still has power with more margin for error.
“With the Vertex 04 I feel like you need proper technique on every shot with the full motion so it really is an advanced player racquet.”
Found the Vertex 04 far too powerful, with lobs and volleys going astray, and went back to their Hack Comfort.
“I used it, and it's got way too much power for me. I went back to my hack comfort.”

For example: Has played the new Vertex 04 for a month and finds it a great mix of power and control that suits their game; it is more centrally balanced and less head-heavy than the Vertex 03. Build quality is top class, but the rough TopSpin surface wore almost smooth within a month.
