VERTEX 05 GEO

The Vertex 05 GEO is the most radical version of our most iconic racket.

The best-selling racket on the market keeps evolving and making a difference on the court, taking the concept of Total Play… to the max.

Its new geometric design expands the hitting surface and enhances offensive balance, resulting in the most aggressive Vertex we have created to date.

The pursuit of perfection remains our philosophy, shared with all athletes. Our mission is to make their path easier. With the Vertex 05 GEO, we take a step further: a model that maintains the versatile essence that defines the entire Vertex series, capable of adapting to any playing style, but now with a sharper, more offensive character.

The result:

• More surface and sweet spot, for greater confidence and control in every shot.
• More power, to take your attacking game to another level.
• More stability, thanks to an optimized structure developed alongside our professional players.

Pablo Cardona’s extreme playing style inspired this racket and challenged our R&D team to develop the most complete and aggressive Vertex ever. His collaboration, along with that of other players and coaches, has been key to taking this line to a new level of excellence, redefining what it means to play with a Vertex and creating the most exceptional technologies for our users.

Technologies in Detail

Curv:Aktiv

CurvAktiv has been optimized in the new Vertex 05, increasing the plane angle by 11º to reach a total inclination of 31.6º.

This greater twist in the lateral faces creates a deeper variable section along the profile, resulting in a unique and highly efficient torsional structure.

The outcome is a racket with more balanced vibration distribution, improved structural solidity, and greater responsiveness in every shot, ensuring immediate comfort with a lively and controlled feel in all game situations.

AIR POWER

Air Power is the natural evolution of the Air React Channel system. With this new technology, we’ve increased the size of the channel in the lower lateral part of the frame by 50%. How? By extending the surfaces involved in the hollow structure. This makes Air Power much more efficient than a solid racket or its previous version.

With Air Power, you get more energy return on impact, more agility, lighter feel in the lower area, and greater acceleration—making the new Vertex 05 Geo more reactive, stable, aerodynamic, and easy to handle.

AIR POWER + Curv:Aktiv

The Vertex 05 Geo combines Air Power and Curv:Aktiv to deliver total performance, creating the most balanced and complete racket ever developed by our brand.

Curv:Aktiv enhances the Coanda effect, channeling airflow toward the Air Power system, reducing air resistance, and improving racket aerodynamics by up to 23%.

The result: a more agile racket with greater acceleration, flawless handling, absolute control, and exceptional responsiveness on every shot.

VERTEX CORE

The same essence, taken to the next level. The new Vertex core, characterized by its double diagonal bridge, has been completely redesigned compared to its predecessor, achieving a more triangular geometry that optimally distributes forces between its edges.

This reduces vibrations, minimizes torsion, and significantly increases structural rigidity.

The lower zone volume has been increased for greater thickness and firmness, and the heart’s finish slightly widened, incorporating extra volume for better stability. These improvements reinforce the connection between frame and face, optimizing energy transfer and providing a more solid and stable feel on every shot.

The result: a racket that delivers high performance both from the baseline and at the net, offering precise control, enhanced stability, and a strong, secure feel.

GEOMETRIC SHAPE

The Vertex 05 Geo goes beyond expectations, introducing the concept of Total Play Max. With a geometric frame and high-resistance carbon structure, this racket gives you a perfect combination of all-around performance.

The frame is wider at the 2 and 10 o’clock positions, along with the lower mold area, increasing ball contact area up to 541 cm²—the largest in the history of our collection.

This larger surface offers an expanded sweet spot, greater tolerance for off-center hits, and a more secure control feel, allowing you to execute powerful and precise shots consistently.

If you are an offensive player looking to dominate the aerial phase of the game, the Vertex 05 Geo will enhance your attacking skills while maintaining excellent defensive performance and control—a racket that becomes a natural extension of your game, taking your performance to new heights.

EASE VIBE

Ease Vibe are next-generation dampeners designed to optimize your performance on the padel court. Integrated into four strategic holes of the racket, Ease Vibe has been rigorously tested by the Polytechnic University of Madrid, proving its ability to absorb up to 49% of vibrations generated upon impact.

Thanks to its redesigned spring-shaped geometry, these dampeners not only improve vibration absorption but also elevate overall performance. This innovative design allows unique customization of feel and balance, giving you the flexibility to adjust your game according to your needs.

Whether you seek more control or power, Ease Vibe helps you adapt your racket for maximum impact and a more comfortable, effective playing experience.

CUSTOM WEIGHT

The CustomWeight system consists of plates made of gel or aluminum weighing 3g each, allowing extra weight to be added in specific areas of the racket. This lets you modify the racket’s balance according to your preferences.

The Vertex 05 Geo structure is designed to hold up to 3 weights on the upper part of the racket, allowing adjustments of up to +9g and a balance change of ±1 cm.

TOP SPIN

The Vertex 05 Geo increases the amount of texture in the final layer of the racket face, creating more pronounced and precise effects that allow you to dominate every shot.

This increase in texture not only enhances aggressive spin on slices, volleys, smashes, and drop shots but also makes this technology more durable, ensuring superior and consistent performance over more matches.

HESACORE

Discover the new Hesacore with its upgraded formula to protect your game even more. With the new Hesacore, you don’t have to worry about arm strain or unwanted vibrations, as our improved anti-vibration elastomer filters and minimizes them, allowing you to focus on performance without distractions.

Its ergonomic honeycomb design creates greater contact surface between the hand and grip, allowing fingers to rest in concave surfaces, reducing strain and injuries while providing a firm, comfortable grip for total racket control at all times.

VIBRADRIVE

Vibradrive features a high-elasticity elastomer inserted along the longitudinal axis of the handle. This implementation plays a key role in optimizing player performance, absorbing vibrations—especially on off-center hits.

XTEND-CARBON 3K

The Vertex 05 Geo incorporates X-TEND 3K carbon, composed of 3,000 filaments per strand, enabling a compact and uniform laminate for a firm feel.

This structure maximizes energy transfer on every shot, reducing loss and ensuring total control and power over the ball. Its closed weave guarantees homogeneous mechanical properties, allowing you to place the ball with precision and dominate every play.

MULTIEVA

The core of this padel racket has been designed with a “sandwich” structure, composed of three EVA layers of different densities, carefully adapted to optimize performance in every game situation:

• Outer layers: Made of higher-density EVA for maximum power on explosive shots, offering quick and solid response upon ball impact.
• Inner layer: Made of softer, lower-density EVA for cushioning, enhancing tolerance and comfort on slower shots, improving feel, reducing vibrations, and lowering injury risk while giving you greater control on delicate strokes.

Pablo Cardona will debut his new VERTEX 05 GEO this week at the Premier Padel Madrid P1. Get yours now!
