Bullpadel Pearl 2026 Padel Racket

On power and rebound the two seasons are level: Padelful scores the 2026 at 8.7 and 8.3, the Pearl 27 at 8.8 and 8.3. Everything that makes a racket easy to live with goes the 2026's way. Manoeuvrability is 8.6 against 7.4, the sweet spot 8.5 against 7.3, and control 7.6 against 7.4. The 2026 also feels a little softer, medium-soft where the 27 is medium.

So the choice is simple. If you want the newest colours and hit very cleanly, the 27 is fine. If you want the Pearl's punch with room for error, this is the one.

Easy to swing for a diamond: that's the first thing Padelful's testers wrote down, and it's the point of the racket. The ball comes off lively, net volleys have real bite, and the head weight helps the smash and the víbora without making the racket feel sluggish in a quick exchange.

It's still a diamond. Defence asks for active hands rather than a passive block, the feedback is softer and less direct than a firm carbon frame, and Padelful notes it isn't effortless in long, heavy rallies. Players who mainly defend from the back glass will find better company elsewhere.

The Pearl isn't alone. Padelful's scores show several Bullpadel rackets coming out firmer for 2027: the sweet spot of the Neuron 02 Edge fell from 9.1 to 8.0 and the Icon from 8.2 to 7.2, as the Pearl's fell from 8.5 to 7.3. If you liked how a 2026 Bullpadel felt, the 2026 edition is the safer buy, and our padel racket sale page explains how to read the season codes.

Strong women players, and anyone who wants diamond power at 355 to 365 g, who take the ball early and like to finish at the net. Padelful pitches it at intermediate-plus to advanced. It's also the sensible Pearl for a player stepping up from an all-court racket for the first time. Our padel rackets for women and diamond padel racket pages show the alternatives.

The Pearl takes Bullpadel's 3 g CustomWeight plates if you want more head weight; a set of four 3 g CustomWeight weights gives you 12 g to place. Keep a fresh overgrip on the handle, and see our padel grips page for thickness. A frame protector saves a diamond head on low volleys; the racket protector page has options.

A tube of Bullpadel Next Pro suits competitive club play, and our padel balls page explains why fresh pressure matters. The Pearl Vibram 26V women's shoe is from the same season, and the full padel shoes range covers grip on sand-dressed turf.
