Bullpadel Icon 26

The Bullpadel Icon 26 is Juan Martín Díaz's racket in the 2026 Pro Line: a diamond shape, a balance of approx. 26 cm, X-Tend Carbon 12K faces and a medium feel. It is built for professional or very advanced players with an attacking game who want power without giving up precision at the net.

Bullpadel Icon 26 specifications

Who is the Bullpadel Icon 26 for?

It suits you if you play on the backhand side, finish points with smashes and víboras and have the technique to handle 370–375 g in a diamond racket. It also works for players who spend a lot of time at the net and want a firm ball exit. If you are starting out, defend mostly from the back or have elbow trouble, a lighter, low-balance racket is a better choice.

Strengths and things to consider

Strengths

• Hitting power: the diamond shape and 370–375 g add extra momentum to smashes and bandejas.
• Precision: the X-Tend Carbon 12K faces give a firm, direct response that helps you place the ball in attack.
• Stability: the Carbon Tube frame and Torsion Concept technology limit twisting on powerful shots.

Things to consider

• Demands technique: 370–375 g in a diamond shape becomes tiring if your swing is not clean.
• Less handy in defence: on fast blocks and off-the-wall returns it reacts more slowly than a round racket.

Icon 26 compared with Icon 27 and Xplo 26

The Bullpadel Icon 27 is the direct successor: it keeps the diamond shape, 370–375 g, 38 mm profile, X-Tend Carbon 12K faces and medium feel, with a balance of approx. 26.3 cm, 534 cm² and the Icon Core. Choose it if you want the latest version; the Icon 26 offers practically the same attacking concept from the previous collection.

Martín Di Nenno's Bullpadel Xplo 26 has a geometric shape that plays like a diamond, a balance of approx. 26.5 cm, 365–375 g and a medium-hard feel, with the same 12K faces. It is more explosive and slightly more demanding; the Icon 26 is more forgiving if you mix attack with touch at the net.
