The Bullpadel Vertex 04 W 2025 is Delfi Brea's signature racket for the 2025 season. Diamond shape, Fibrix face, MultiEVA core, high balance. Designed for Brea's attacking baseline game - a playing style built on powerful overhead smashes and aggressive flat drives.
Who it's for
The Vertex 04 W 2025 is Delfi Brea's signature racket, designed for her attacking baseline game built on powerful overhead smashes and aggressive flat drives. It is aimed at advanced women players who want pro-line diamond power but with lower arm load than a pure carbon face would impose.
Beginners, players with arm sensitivity, and anyone who needs a round or teardrop shape should look elsewhere. This is a diamond, and it asks for the technique a diamond requires.
How it plays
The diamond shape concentrates the sweet spot in the upper third of the face. Combined with the high balance, this maximises smash authority for baseline attackers. At 360 to 370g it carries a weight appropriate for women's elite play while keeping the frame stability that attacking play demands.
On centred overhead contacts the Fibrix face delivers more exit speed than a multiglass racket would, giving real authority on smashes and drives. The trade-off for the diamond geometry is the usual one: off-centre contact is less forgiving, and the high balance limits how quickly you can manoeuvre at the net.
Feel and materials
Fibrix is a carbon-glass hybrid face that sits between standard multiglass and pure carbon in both performance and arm load. On centred contacts it delivers more exit speed than multiglass while transmitting less vibration than TriCarbon or Xtend Carbon faces. For a player competing across a full Premier Padel season, that sustainability advantage is the whole point of the material choice.
The MultiEVA core supports the attacking character. The comfort caveats are still real - Fibrix is more arm-demanding than multiglass or a round shape, so players with existing sensitivity should be cautious.
Final word
Brea uses this racket at the highest competitive level, which validates it across demanding professional schedules. For advanced women players whose game centres on baseline power and who want pro-line construction without the full arm load of pure carbon, the Vertex 04 W 2025 is one of the strongest specifications in the 2025 women's range.
