Bullpadel Custom Weight Protector (3 Plates, Black)

The card spells out the idea: one plate for power, two for balance, three for more power. In practice, weight added high on the frame moves the balance towards the head, which makes smashes heavier and the racket a touch slower in quick exchanges at the net. Start with one plate, play a couple of sessions, and add the next only if you want more. Padel Nuestro lists the plates as aluminium, 3g each, with an adhesive back.

Bullpadel's own compatibility note is narrow: the plates are made for its Pro Series rackets, and Padel Nuestro says they don't suit the K4 or the women's Wing. On other brands, check the frame's shape at the top of the head first.

The Custom Weight 4 x 3 g is the current version with one extra plate. If you only want a few grams and some protection, the three-plate pack is enough. If you only want protection, a plain strip such as the Frame Guard adds no weight to speak of.

If your elbow or shoulder grumbles, adding head weight is the wrong direction; a lighter, head-light racket from our padel racket range is kinder. And beginners are better off learning on a racket as it comes. For more frame tapes and films, see the padel racket protector page.
