HACK 04 LTD ITALY: The new special edition racket for the iconic Italy Major
Madrid, June 5, 2025 – To mark the Italy Major, one of the four most important tournaments on the Premier Padel calendar, Bullpadel is launching a special edition racket: the new HACK 04 25 ITALY, a piece that blends high-performance technology with a design inspired by Italy’s cultural legacy.
The Italy Major stands out not only as one of the four Majors in the Premier Padel circuit but also because it takes place in a venue full of history and majesty: Rome’s Foro Italico.
This sports complex, one of the most iconic in Europe, has hosted major international events and is synonymous with athletic excellence. Surrounded by classical sculptures and monumental architecture, competing at the Foro Italico is to experience padel as a true cultural and sporting celebration.
HACK 04 ITALY
For this occasion, Bullpadel has created a unique racket that pays tribute to Italy, featuring a design that incorporates the Roman Colosseum and the colors of the Italian flag in the brand’s logo, fusing art, history, and top performance into a single playing tool.
One of the subtlest yet most powerful touches is the use of the number "4" in Roman numerals (IV), elegantly integrated into the design to reinforce the racket's identity and connect directly with the spirit of the Colosseum, which appears on the front as a symbol of strength, combat, and greatness.
Moreover, the brand’s slogan, “The Padel Specialist,” is displayed in a classic Roman typeface, evoking historic stone inscriptions. This typographic choice not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also communicates solidity, legacy, and authority in the world of padel.
That Paquito plays with this racket on one of the sport’s most imposing stages is no coincidence—it’s a statement of intent. The HACK 04 25 ITALY is made for those who don’t just play padel—they live it as an art and a spectacle.
The Hack Series: 10 Years of Evolution
The Hack range, with a decade of development behind it, has left a lasting mark on padel history. A sales leader and revolutionary concept, the Hack has always represented raw power. Now, it redefines the game with a new concept: dynamic power.
The relentless pursuit of perfection drives all athletes. In our mission to support our players, we evolve our products based on their needs and the game’s evolution as shared by our professional athletes.
That’s why the Hack 04 integrates their invaluable feedback to reach excellence through new technologies.
Total Channel
The HACK 04 exceeds expectations, introducing the concept of dynamic power. The key lies in maximizing the speed generated by the player’s movement, transforming kinetic energy into powerful and precise shots.
Its aerodynamics have been meticulously refined to optimize swing speed, introducing a channel around the entire perimeter to reduce air resistance as much as possible—this is the Air React Channel system.
This perimeter channel also improves torsional stability and provides greater frame stiffness, enhancing energy transfer on every shot.
With the new HACK 04, you’ll feel rapid acceleration turn into powerful hits.
Tricore
The new TRICORE heart increases the thickness of its vectors to reduce vibrations and improve stability and power. Now, the AIR REACT CHANNEL runs fully through the heart! The air flows faster, with less turbulence, improving maneuverability and acceleration, enabling faster movements and increased shot power.
Air React Channel
Padel aerodynamics are taken to the next level with this Hack 04. To complement the frame-spanning profile, the racket adds Air React Channel technology—the first air channel developed in the padel world, now an industry design benchmark.
This technology reduces air resistance in the racket’s core area, making it more agile and lighter, allowing for greater acceleration speed and more effective execution with every shot.
In addition, the Air React Channel not only improves racket aerodynamics but also enhances structural integrity thanks to its four-arm core, optimizes energy return, increases ball exit speed, and boosts game responsiveness.
Ease Vibe
Ease Vibe are next-generation dampeners designed to optimize on-court performance. Integrated into four strategic holes in the racket, they’ve undergone rigorous testing by the Polytechnic University of Madrid, proving they can absorb up to 49% of vibrations from ball impacts.
Thanks to their redesigned spring-shaped geometry, these dampeners not only improve vibration absorption but also elevate overall performance. This innovative shape allows for unique customization of feel and balance, giving you the flexibility to tailor your play. Whether you're after more control or power, Ease Vibe lets you adapt your racket to maximize every shot and ensure a more comfortable, effective playing experience.
Custom Weight
The CustomWeight system consists of gel-finished plates weighing 3g each, adding extra weight to selected areas based on player needs. The HACK 04 is designed to hold up to 5 weights: 4 at the top and one in the butt cap (5g or 10g), allowing up to 22g of additional weight and a balance shift of ±1cm.
SmartHoles
Hole distribution plays a crucial role in padel racket performance, affecting control, ball output, and power. The new Hack 04 hole pattern has been redesigned in concentric circles to provide more balanced distribution, greater face flexibility, enhanced ball output, and a larger sweet spot.
3D Grain
The Bullpadel HACK 04 introduces a new rough 3D surface with concentric circles, designed to optimize spin. On impact, this texture generates more friction, ensuring prolonged and precise contact, resulting in winning spin shots from both baseline and net.
Hesacore
Discover the new Hesacore and its revamped formula to enhance game protection. Say goodbye to arm discomfort and unwanted vibrations: our advanced anti-vibration elastomer filters and minimizes them, letting you focus on performance without distraction.
Its honeycomb ergonomic design maximizes hand-grip contact, letting fingers rest in concave surfaces. This reduces effort and injury risk while providing a firm, comfortable grip. With the new Hesacore, you maintain total control of your racket at all times.
Vibradrive
Vibradrive features a high-elasticity elastomer inserted along the handle’s longitudinal axis. Its exceptional elasticity and strategic placement make it essential for absorbing vibrations—especially during off-center hits.
TriCarbon 18K
The Hack 04 incorporates advanced Tricarbon fiber, developed by Bullpadel. This innovative material consists of 18K ultra-light carbon filaments woven in three strategic directions.
Thanks to this 3D structure, Tricarbon enhances core reaction speed on impact and optimizes post-hit recovery. This results in more efficient energy transfer, letting each movement flow with greater speed.
Multieva
The racket’s core is built with a “sandwich” structure, composed of three EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl-Acetate) foam layers of varying densities, precisely engineered for optimal performance in different game situations.
- Outer Layers: Made of high-density, rigid EVA to maximize power on explosive shots, offering a quick and solid response upon impact.
- Inner Layer: Made of softer, lower-density EVA, acting as a shock-absorbing core that increases comfort and tolerance on slower hits. This soft interior enhances feel while reducing vibrations, lowering injury risk and improving control on delicate shots.
This material combination allows the racket to dynamically adapt to different playing styles.
