Bullpadel Xplo 26

The Bullpadel Xplo 26 is Martín Di Nenno's racket in the 2026 collection and, according to the brand, its most powerful ever: geometric shape, a balance of approx. 26.5 cm and X-Tend Carbon 12K faces. It is designed for professional or high-level advanced players with an attacking game who want to finish points overhead.

Bullpadel Xplo 26 specifications

Who is the Bullpadel Xplo 26 for?

Bullpadel describes it as geometric; its shape makes it play like a diamond racket. It suits you if you come to the net often, smash a lot and handle 365–375 g comfortably. If you are just starting out, mostly defend from the back or have elbow discomfort, a racket with a lower balance and softer feel will give you more margin.

Strengths and things to consider

Strengths

• Overhead punch: the approx. 26.5 cm balance and widened frame add momentum to smashes out over the side and back glass.
• Ball exit: the X-Tend Carbon 12K faces and MultiEVA core respond firmly when you accelerate through the shot.
• Spin: the rough 3D Grain finish grips the ball on viboras, sliced bandejas and kick smashes.

Things to consider

• Demands technique: the medium-hard feel and head-heavy weight punish late or off-centre strikes.
• Less manoeuvrable in defence: at up to 375 g with a 26.5 cm medium balance, fast balls at your feet need good anticipation.

Xplo 26 compared with Xplo 27 and Xplo Comfort 26

The Bullpadel Xplo 27, Di Nenno's version for 2027, keeps the geometric shape, medium-hard feel and 365–375 g, but raises the balance to approx. 27 cm, reduces the hitting surface to 507 cm² and uses 3K carbon. Choose it if you want even more weight in the head; the Xplo 26 offers a larger sweet spot.

The Bullpadel Xplo Comfort 26 shares the mould, the approx. 26.5 cm balance, 535 cm² and 365–375 g, but swaps the 12K carbon for Fibrix, a blend of glass fibre and carbon, with a medium feel. It is the pick if you want the same attack with more comfort for your arm; the Xplo 26 responds firmer and faster.

Questions about the Bullpadel Xplo 26

Which player uses the Bullpadel Xplo 26?

It is Martín Di Nenno's racket in the Bullpadel 2026 collection. Like the whole Xplo line, it reflects his aggressive game: plenty of punch, a firm feel and a format built for attacking from the net.

Is the Xplo 2026 suitable for intermediate players?

Bullpadel rates it for professional level. An intermediate player with sound technique can handle it, but the 26.5 cm balance and medium-hard feel demand good physical conditioning. If you are still improving, the Xplo Comfort 26 offers the same mould with a gentler response.
