PALA BULLPADEL VERTEX 05 ARGENTINA 26
They say padel is a game of choices. Choosing between the power that breaks the point or the control that builds it. Between the speed that surprises or the precision that defines. Between the grit that pushes or the head that commands. But in Argentina, those who truly understand this sport know that greatness isn't about choosing… it's about feeling everything. About playing with passion, with character, with that natural balance that comes from the court. The Vertex 05 LTD Argentina racket is the official racket of the Premier Padel Buenos Aires tournament. It's the new racket of "El Gato" (The Cat), Juan Tello, and a tribute to the Argentine jaguar, with the commitment to protect its legacy on and off the court. Roar with power, play with pride, VERTEX 05 ARGENTINA.

The Vertex 05, the latest evolution of our most iconic racket, is born with the spirit of Argentina etched into every detail. The best-selling racket on the market returns this year more complete, more responsive, more stable, and more intuitive. This evolution is not only felt on the court but also expressed in its design: the gaze of the Argentine jaguar dominating the court is no accident, it's attitude. It represents the intensity, the reading of the opponent, and the determination inherent in Argentine padel. Its new reinforced core and optimized Curv:aKtiv enhance stability and energy transfer in every shot. The result is a fluid, solid, and natural playing feel, like that style of play that blends talent and character in every point. The Vertex 05 is the complete racket: it adapts to defense, responds in attack, and flows through transitions with absolute consistency. Like the Argentine player, who doesn't choose just one style of play but masters them all. The pursuit of perfection continues to guide our path, and with the Vertex 05, we take another step forward. Developed in collaboration with professional players like Juan Tello, it takes the Total Play concept to the highest level.
CURVAKTIV: CurvAktiv has been optimized in the new Vertex 05, increasing the angle of its faces by 11 degrees to reach a total inclination of 31.6 degrees. This greater twist on the side faces generates a deeper variable section along the profile, creating a unique, highly efficient, variable-section twisted structure. The result is a racket with a more balanced vibration distribution, capable of performing better in two directions: greater structural solidity and more reactivity on every shot, giving you immediate comfort with a livelier and more controlled response in every aspect of the game.
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 on the lower side of the frame by 50%. How did we achieve this? By increasing the length of the surfaces involved in the hollow structure. This makes Air Power a much more efficient area compared to a solid racket or its predecessor, the Air React Channel. With Air Power, we add even more energy return on impact, greater agility, lighter feel in that area, and increased acceleration, making the new Vertex 05 Geo a more reactive, stable, aerodynamic, and maneuverable racket.
AIR POWER + CURVAKTIV: The Vertex 05 combines Air Power and Curv:Aktiv technologies to deliver total performance, creating the most balanced and complete racket ever developed by our brand. Curv:Aktiv enhances the Coanda effect, channeling air towards the Air Power system, reducing air resistance and improving the racket's aerodynamics by up to 23%. The result is a more agile racket with greater acceleration, translating into impeccable 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 undergone a complete redesign compared to its predecessor, achieving a more triangular geometry that optimally distributes forces across its edges. This reduces vibrations, minimizes torsion, and significantly increases the rigidity of the core. As part of this structural evolution, the volume in the lower area has been increased, providing greater thickness and firmness, while the end of the core has been slightly widened, incorporating a small amount of extra volume. These improvements reinforce the connection between the frame and the face, optimize energy transmission, and provide a more solid and stable feel with every shot. The result is a racket with which the player can achieve high performance both from the back of the court and at the net, enjoying more precise control, greater stability, and a solid feel with every stroke.
EASE VIBE: Ease Vibe dampeners are next-generation dampeners designed to optimize your performance on the padel court. Integrated into four strategically placed holes in the racket, Ease Vibe dampeners have undergone rigorous testing by the Polytechnic University of Madrid, demonstrating their ability to absorb up to 49% of the vibrations produced when hitting the ball. Thanks to their redesigned spring-like geometry, these dampeners not only improve vibration absorption but also enhance overall performance. This innovative shape allows for unique customization of the racket's feel and balance, giving you the flexibility to adjust your game to suit your needs. Whether you're looking for greater control or power, Ease Vibe dampeners allow you to adapt your racket to maximize every shot and ensure a more comfortable and effective playing experience.
CUSTOM WEIGHT: The CustomWeight system consists of gel-finished plates, each weighing 3g, which add extra weight to specific areas where they are placed. This allows you to modify the racket's balance according to each player's needs. The Vertex 05 structure is designed to accommodate a total of 4 weights in the upper part of the racket. With all of these, you can create different configurations with up to 12g of added weight and a balance shift of +/- 1cm.
TOP SPIN: The Vertex 05 increases the amount of grain in the outermost layer of the racket face, resulting in more pronounced and precise spin that will allow you to dominate every shot. This increased grain not only enhances the generation of aggressive spin on slices, volleys, lobs, and smashes, but also makes this technology more durable, ensuring superior and consistent performance for more matches.
HESACORE: Discover the new Hesacore with its revamped formula designed to further protect your game. With the new Hesacore, you won't have to worry about arm discomfort or unwanted vibrations, as our improved anti-vibration elastomer filters and minimizes these sensations, allowing you to focus on your performance without distractions. Its ergonomic honeycomb design creates a larger contact surface between your hand and the handle. This allows your fingers to rest on the concave surfaces, reducing strain and the risk of injury, while also providing a firm and comfortable grip that lets you maintain complete control of the racket at all times.
VIBRADRIVE: Vibradrive is characterized by the insertion of a highly elastic elastomer that fragments the handle along its longitudinal axis. The exceptional elasticity of the material used, along with its strategic placement, makes Vibradrive an essential element for absorbing vibrations, especially in off-center striking situations.
X-TEND CARBON 12K: The Vertex 05 is made with X-TEND Carbon 12K, an advanced fiber composed of 12,000 high-density carbon filaments woven biaxially. Its more open architecture allows for a lightweight and homogeneous lamination, optimizing elasticity and responsiveness for perfect interaction with the Vertex mold geometry. The 12K provides the ideal middle ground, offering a balanced medium hardness that combines power and control in a versatile way. The result is a racket that adapts to all phases of the game, offering the necessary power in attack, but also the stability and control in defense, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a complete game.
MULTIEVA: The core of this padel racket has been designed with a "sandwich" structure, composed of three layers of EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) of varying densities, carefully adapted to optimize performance in every playing situation. Outer Layers: The two outer layers, made with a higher density and stiffer EVA, are designed to maximize power in the most explosive shots, offering a quick and decisive response upon impact with the ball. Inner Layer: The inner layer, made of a softer, lower density EVA, acts as a shock-absorbing core, increasing forgiveness and comfort on lower-speed shots. This internal softness not only improves the feel of the ball but also helps reduce vibrations, decreasing the risk of injury and providing greater control on more delicate shots.
