VERTEX 05: Total power and absolute control for Juan Tello

They say padel is a game of choices. Choosing between raw power or firm control. Between speed that surprises or precision that defines. Between agility that gets ahead or stability that sustains.

But those who truly understand the game know greatness is not about choosing. It’s about having it all. About feeling everything respond to your hand.

Vertex 05, the new racket of “El Gato” Juan Tello, is ready for every challenge.

Did you think it was a myth? It’s not. It exists. Discover the new Vertex 05 and its Total Play. The experience your game has been waiting for.

VERTEX 05 – 202

Vertex 05: the latest evolution of our most iconic racket.

The best-selling racket on the market returns this year more complete, more reactive, more stable, and intuitive, reaffirming itself as the most balanced option for any style of play.

Its new reinforced core and optimized Curv:Aktiv improve stability and energy transfer in every shot, delivering a smooth, solid, and effortless playing experience.

Vertex 05 is the ultimate racket: capable of adapting to defense, attack, and transitions—always with the same consistency and reliability that have made this series an icon of padel.

The pursuit of perfection continues to guide us, and with Vertex 05 we take another step forward: the most complete racket we have ever created, developed in collaboration with our professional players to take the concept of Total Play to the highest level.

Discover all its technologies below.

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 result is a racket with more balanced vibration distribution, improved structural solidity, and greater responsiveness in every shot—delivering immediate comfort with a lively, controlled feel across all game phases.

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 lengthening the surfaces involved in the hollow structure. This makes Air Power far more efficient compared to a solid racket or its predecessor.

With Air Power, you get more energy return on impact, greater agility, lighter weight in the lower zone, and faster acceleration—making the new Vertex 05 a more reactive, stable, aerodynamic, and easy-to-handle racket.

AIR POWER + Curv:Aktiv

The Vertex 05 combines Air Power and Curv:Aktiv for 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 aerodynamics by up to 23%.

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

VERTEX CORE

The same essence, taken to the next level. The new Vertex core, characterized by its double diagonal bridge, has undergone a complete restyle 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.

As part of this structural evolution, the volume of the lower zone has been increased for greater thickness and firmness, while the heart’s finish has been slightly widened, incorporating extra volume for improved stability. These enhancements reinforce the connection between frame and face, optimizing energy transfer and providing a more solid and stable feel in every shot.

The result: a racket that delivers high performance from the baseline and at the net, offering precise control, greater stability, and a solid feel in every strike.

EASE VIBE

Ease Vibe are next-generation dampeners designed to optimize your padel performance. 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 finished in gel, each weighing 3g, that provide additional weight in specific zones where they are placed. This lets you modify the racket’s balance according to your needs.

The Vertex 05 structure is designed to accommodate a total of 4 weights on the upper part of the racket, allowing up to 12g of extra weight and a balance change of ±1 cm.

TOP SPIN

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

This increased texture not only enhances aggressive spin on slices, volleys, smashes, and drop shots but also makes the technology more durable over time, ensuring superior and consistent performance across many matches.

HESACORE

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

Its ergonomic honeycomb design creates greater contact 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 12K

The Vertex 05 is built with X-TEND Carbon 12K, an advanced fiber composed of 12,000 high-grammage carbon filaments woven biaxially. Its more open architecture allows for a lightweight, uniform laminate, optimizing elasticity and reactivity for perfect interaction with the Vertex mold geometry.

The 12K structure offers an ideal intermediate point, providing a balanced medium stiffness that combines power and control for an all-around performance.

The result is a racket that adapts to every phase of the game, delivering the necessary power in attack, while maintaining stability and control in defense—making it the perfect choice for those seeking total 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 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.
