Bullpadel Elite W 2026 Review
By Andres Jovem · Updated October 19, 2026
A 355g hybrid with a double-density MultiEva core and a Fibrix face, rated advanced by Bullpadel: the right-sider's frame for driving through the point, with overheads that place rather than end it.
The verdict
The Elite W 26 is a right-sider's racket for the advanced woman who wins by hitting through the point. Gemma Triay plays the Elite line, and this is the version built for that game. Everything in it is tuned for the drive. A double-density MultiEva core that firms up under a full swing. A Fibrix face that keeps a flat ball low. A hybrid head that gets to the wide volley. It is a control all-rounder by type, and an advanced frame for a reason.
What it is not is a finisher. The overhead from this frame is a bandeja into the corner that keeps you at the net, not a smash that clears the glass. A player who lives for ending points from above will run into that limit fast. If your game is built on low drives, deep resets and the patience to wait for the opening, the Elite W does the whole right-side job in one frame. If you want the Bullpadel that smashes, the Vertex 05 W is the sibling to read next.
One number worth knowing: the hitting surface is 524 cm², generous for a hybrid, which is why an off-center drive still reaches the back glass. The 38 mm profile is standard for the class.
The build
MultiEva, double density
Bullpadel builds the core from MultiEva in two densities, and the brand's own line is that it adapts to the intensity of each hit. In practice that means a soft contact on a touch shot, where the foam gives, and a firmer one on a full drive, where it compresses less and the ball leaves with pace. For a right-sider that is the right split: margin on the delicate shot, speed on the committed one.
Fibrix with a 3D rough finish
The face is Fibrix, carbon combined with fiberglass on this frame. The carbon keeps the face stiff enough that a flat drive stays low and carries; the fiberglass share softens the edge of a mishit so less of it reaches your forearm. The 3D rough finish, revised for 2026 with arrows running in four directions, grips a brushed ball, so spin on the bandeja and the slice comes from the texture and not from a harder brush.
Elite Core, Air React Channel, Vibradrive
Three more techs on the frame, each with one job. Elite Core is a reinforced geometry at the heart of the frame that Bullpadel says adds stability and precision. Air React Channel is an aerodynamic channel around the core meant to cut drag so the head moves faster through the stroke. Vibradrive sits in the handle: a rubbery insert Bullpadel fits to soak up vibration before it reaches the wrist. The frame itself is Bullpadel's Carbontube carbon, in a hybrid mold at 350 to 360g. The balance sits around 25.8 cm, a little above even, so the head stays quick on a volley.
How it plays
Driving through the point
A drive from the back of the court comes off the face low and stays low, carrying to the other pair's feet rather than sitting up. Commit to a rally and it accelerates with you; the ball does not die on the face. The drive is what Bullpadel built this frame around, and it shows. The cross-court drive from the right side, aimed at the left player's backhand, comes off with enough weight to keep them pinned.
Wide volleys and the body block
The hybrid head and the balance make the Elite W quick to the wide ball. Stretch for a volley past your reach and the head arrives, with enough face behind it to keep the ball in court. A block at the body comes back deep with the core absorbing the pace, which is how a right-sider buys time to reset without conceding the net. The same goes for a ball off the back glass: let it drop, lift it with a short swing, and it lands deep enough to start the point again.
The low game at the net
A chiquita brushed at the opponent's feet comes off with enough rotation to stay down, and a blocked volley you take softly dies short enough to force the other pair forward. This is the quieter half of a right-sider's game, and the Elite W is as good at it as it is at the drive.
Overheads that keep the net
Take a lob early and you can cut a bandeja into the corner that pins the other pair back. Try to finish with a flat smash and the limit shows up: the ball comes down at your swing speed, not heavier, and a good defender will have it back. Position, not power, is what the overhead is for here. A víbora is there off the rough finish too, but it is a positional shot as well, aimed at the side glass to move the other pair rather than to end things.
Comfort and feel
Edge hits lose a little accuracy, which is the downside of a face stiff enough to keep a drive low, but the fiberglass share and the handle insert keep the sting out of the forearm. At 350 to 360g with the mass kept out of the tip, it is a frame an advanced player can swing all match without the shoulder keeping score.
Who it's for (and who should skip it)
Buy it if
- You play the right side at an advanced level and build the point with drives and resets
- You want a Bullpadel frame that defends and attacks in one mold without a diamond's weight at the tip
- Your bandeja is a weapon of position and you rarely need to end a point from above
Look elsewhere if
- You finish with the smash: the Vertex 05 W gives you the diamond and the mass for it
- You are an intermediate still grooving the drive: this is advanced kit, and a softer round frame will get you there sooner
- You want pace handed to you off the face: the Elite W gives back the drive you hit, and nothing on top

The bottom line
Choose it for the point you build and let your partner carry the one you finish; the Vertex 05 W is for the player who wants to do both.

Frequently asked
No. The Elite W 26 is sold as the women's Elite, and Gemma Triay plays it. The specs are a 350 to 360g hybrid with a double-density MultiEva core and a Fibrix face. Nothing about them needs the label. Any advanced right-sider who drives through the point will recognize what it does.
Control, with a drive that carries. The Elite W is a control all-rounder, and the medium MultiEva core plus Fibrix face keep a flat ball low and fast without adding smash weight. If you want the power branch of Bullpadel's women's range, the Vertex 05 W is the diamond.
Shape and balance separate the Elite W from the Vertex 05 W. Both are advanced, Fibrix-faced, MultiEva-cored Bullpadel frames around 355g, but the Vertex 05 W is the diamond for smashing and the Elite W the hybrid for driving and defending. Pick the Vertex if your overhead ends points; pick the Elite if your drive sets them up.
The core decides it between the Elite W and the Pearl. The Pearl 2026 is a diamond, 355 to 365g, with a soft MultiEVA core and a balance of about 26 cm, built for placement with a gentle arm. The Elite W is a hybrid with a double-density core that firms up under a full swing, built for the drive. Pick the Pearl if your elbow gets a vote and you want the ball to sit on the face; pick the Elite if your game runs on low drives and deep resets.
No, the Elite W is rated advanced by Bullpadel and it is not the racket you learn the drive on. Start on a round frame, whose sweet spot is centered on the face; the Elite is the one you move to once your drive is a habit, not the one you learn it on.
The Elite W is from €174.90 at PadelPROShop, with PadelMarket at €174.99, a few cents apart. PadelMarket's own compare-at price is €257.99, so both shops sit well under list, and with a gap that small, stock rather than price should decide which you use.
