Bullpadel Icon 27

The Bullpadel Icon 27 is Juan Martín Díaz's racket for the 2027 collection: diamond shape, 370–375 g, 26.3 cm balance and X-Tend Carbon 12K faces. It is aimed at advanced and professional players with an attacking game who want punch without losing manoeuvrability at the net.

Bullpadel Icon 27 specifications

Who is the Bullpadel Icon 27 for?

It suits you if you play on the left, attack a lot from the net, smash often and have a solid bandeja and víbora. The medium feel and MultiEVA core give a firm but not harsh response. If you are an intermediate player, have elbow trouble or prefer defending from the back, a softer teardrop racket will serve you better.

Strengths and things to consider

Strengths

• Controlled power: the diamond shape and 12K carbon help finish points overhead with a medium balance.
• Manoeuvrability: Bullpadel rates it 4 out of 5 for handling, a high score for a 370–375 g diamond racket.
• Spin: the 3D Grain finish, tuned to this mould, helps you slice and kick the ball on víboras and drop shots.

Things to consider

• Limited control: in its own chart Bullpadel gives it 2.5 out of 5 for control, below its power score.
• Demanding: the weight and diamond shape call for good technique and an arm ready for long matches.

Icon 27 compared with Xplo 27 and Vertex 05 27

Martín Di Nenno's Xplo 27 weighs 365–375 g, almost the same, but it is geometric, raises the balance to around 27 cm, uses X-Tend Carbon 3K and cuts the hitting surface to 507 cm². Its feel is medium-hard and built for maximum power. Choose it if you smash for the fence; the Icon gives a larger sweet spot and easier handling.

Juan Tello's Vertex 05 27 is also a diamond with X-Tend Carbon 12K and MultiEVA, but lowers the balance to about 25.5 cm and uses a Top Spin finish on 530 cm². Bullpadel calls it all-round. Choose it for more control and stability; the Icon carries more weight in the head for attacking.

Questions about the Bullpadel Icon 27

Can you adjust the weight of the Bullpadel Icon 27?

Yes. It features the CustomWeight system, with 3 g carbon plates that fit into specific points of the frame. They let you change weight and balance to suit your game, for example to add inertia on the smash or extra stability in defence.

Is the Icon 27 a power or a control racket?

It is an attacking racket: Bullpadel classes it as offensive, with a diamond shape and medium balance. Even so, its official chart rates manoeuvrability above power, so it is quicker at the net than other diamond rackets in the range.
