The Vertex 04 Pro LINE W 2026 combines diamond shape and high balance with a medium-hard construction. Shape and balance shift the weight towards the head and bring plenty of swing mass to the smash, víbora and other overhead shots. At 355 g it is on the lighter side, but thanks to the high balance it feels heavier in the swing than the weight suggests. The medium hardness is a middle path between a direct ball exit and some give on contact. The combination of diamond shape and high balance is less forgiving on off-centre hits than an evenly balanced racket.
At 355 g, it is lighter than three quarters of all models in our comparison: quick to handle, but more of the power in attack has to come from your own swing. Head shape Diamond means: mass high up, a small, high sweet spot – maximum power, but less margin on off-centre hits than round and teardrop; the high balance puts the mass to work on the smash, but puts more strain on the arm. The medium-hard core balances feedback and comfort. With power 8 and control 6 out of 10, it is clearly built for power.
With a forgiveness rating of 3.0 out of 10, it remains demanding, but it is more forgiving than 52% of the diamond-shaped rackets in our comparison. 2 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €155.48 to €175.49 – a €20 difference for the same model.
Attacking intermediate and competitive players who want to put pressure on with the smash and víbora and are looking for a head-heavy but not heavy racket.

Our classification: Intermediate and Competitive. Its forgiveness is 3.0 out of 10 – demanding, needs clean technique.
The Bullpadel Vertex 04 Pro LINE W 2026 weighs 355 g and has a diamond shape, a high (head-heavy) balance and a medium-hard core.
Not by our rule: the core is medium-hard, the balance is head-heavy, the diamond shape shifts the weight upwards. We only call rackets arm-friendly if they have a soft core, a balance that isn't head-heavy, a round or teardrop shape and weigh 360 g at most. Suitable models are listed in our guide to padel rackets for tennis elbow.
