Bullpadel Hack 04 Hybrid 2025 Padel Racket
Versatile geometry, powerful internals
As part of Bullpadel's flagship Hack series and the signature racket for Paquito Navarro, the Hack 04 Hybrid is a teardrop-shaped racket on the heavier end of the weight spectrum, ranging from 365-375 grams. What sets this racket apart from a lot of other teardrop-shaped frames is its high balance point, which boosts mass through the ball and increases power access on heavier shots. Internally, the Hack 04 Hybrid uses a MultiEVA layering system of rubber to make the racket more solid and stable throughout contact. Elsewhere, the highly unique throat geometry seen above the handle is a testament to the design theory behind this racket. In order to offset the racket's higher balance, the throat geometry has been engineered to be more maneuverable without compromising on stability or feel. Additionally, the Air React channel incorporated all around the frame boosts aerodynamics, making the Hack 04 Hybrid even faster swinging through the air. The result is a uniquely powerful and fast-swinging teardrop racket, further enhanced by the spin-friendly hitting surface 3DGrain, a polygonal-shaped finish for extra grip and rotation on the ball. When combined with the racket's 18K carbon makeup, the impact feel is precise and reliable, making energy return on the ball more directly noticeable. This is one of those well-rounded rackets that offers tempting power access to those able to wield it. To increase comfort in the handle, Bullpadel adds their Vibradrive elastomer along the length of the grip, which helps to mitigate harsher vibrations during contact. The addition of Bullpadel's Custom Weight system is a nice touch, which allows for the placement of weighted gel plates of 3 grams each to be positioned at four spots around the top of the racket and one at the butt cap. For advanced players who emphasize shot variety but still want to finish off points with authority, the Hack 04 Hybrid is a powerful and reliable choice.
- Weight: 365 - 375 Grams
- Head Shape: Teardrop
- Balance: High
- Beam: 38mm
- Core Composition: MultiEva
- Frame Composition: CarbonTube
- Surface Composition: Tricarbon & 3DGrain
- Ability Level: Intermediate / Advanced
- Total Channel: The aerodynamics of the HACK 04 have been meticulously refined to optimize swing speed, by introducing a channel around the entire perimeter of the frame to reduce air resistance to the maximum, until the holes of the Air React Channel system are connected.
- Tricore: This new version of the HACK 04 undergoes a redesign compared to its predecessor. In its vectors, the size has been increased to increase stability and reduce unwanted vibrations, improving the response of the racket in each stroke, and making this new version a more stable racket.
- Smart Holes: The new hole design in the Hack has been redesigned to achieve a greater sweet spot. A double perforation with a different radius has been created, where the central area requires smaller holes and the outer area requires a larger radius.
