Bullpadel XPLO TF 24 Padel Racket (Tour Finals 2024)

Shops can't agree on what to call it. Padel Nuestro lists the XPLO TF 2024, Padel Market the XPLO Tour Final 2024 Martin Di Nenno, and Tennisnuts the XPLO 25 Limited Edition Premier Padel Final Edition. They're all this racket. The 24 is the year of the Finals; the 25 is the season of the racket underneath, because Bullpadel's 2025 range was already out by the time Barcelona came round.

Padel Nuestro says Di Nenno used it at that event. Apart from the livery and the presentation box Tennisnuts mentions, the listings describe the same build as the standard 2025 XPLO: a diamond head Bullpadel calls geometric, a high balance, X-Tend Carbon 12K faces and a MultiEVA core.

The XPLO has had three seasons now, and they've got progressively harder to live with. Padelful scored the 2025 racket 9.7 for power, 9.0 for control and 8.9 for sweet spot. The XPLO 26, same mould a year later, kept the power and dropped the sweet spot to 8.3. The new XPLO 02 27 adds a touch of power and falls to 8.0 for control and 7.8 for sweet spot.

So if you want Di Nenno's racket with the most margin for error, the 2025 generation is the one, and this Finals edition is one of the few ways to buy it new. Nobody has scored the TF version separately, so treat those numbers as the standard 2025 XPLO's.

Like a power diamond that's easier to swing than it looks. The high balance carries the racket through the smash, and the 12K carbon face gives the ball a firm, direct send-off, which is what you want for a flat kill or a vibora that has to get past the net player. Bullpadel's Air Power channel and Wave System are aimed at a quicker swing and a livelier upper face.

Defence takes more effort than with a teardrop or a round racket, as with any head-heavy diamond. The difference with this generation is that off-centre volleys and late blocks are punished less than on the newer XPLOs. The feel is listed as medium hardness, firm without being harsh, with Ease Vibe dampers and Vibradrive in the handle to take the edge off.

Padel Nuestro doesn't list a weight at all. Tennisnuts gives 365 g give or take 10, Padelgids 360 to 370 g and Padel Market 365 to 375 g. They all land in the mid-360s, in line with the standard XPLO, and the spread is within the tolerance every brand quotes. We'll weigh ours on arrival.

Advanced players and strong intermediates on the left who already use a diamond and want one of Bullpadel's power rackets without the smallest sweet spot in the range. Di Nenno fans and collectors get a limited edition that's also a sensible racket to play with. Compare it with the other power frames on our advanced padel rackets and diamond padel racket pages, and see what else is reduced in the padel racket sale.

If the factory grip feels thin, a Bullpadel GR replacement grip builds it up before you add an overgrip; the padel grip page explains sizes. Fit a Bullpadel Pro frame protector before the first match, because a limited-edition finish chips like any other.

A tube of Bullpadel FIP Next balls is a sensible match, and the padel balls page explains how quickly they lose pressure. Bullpadel also made a Finals shoe for the XPLO line, the XPLO Tour Final 26V; our padel shoes page covers soles for sand-dressed courts. The XPLO bag keeps the set together, or browse the padel bag range. The Bullpadel rackets page covers the brand's families, our guide to choosing a padel racket explains shapes, and the full range is on the padel racket page.
