Padel Racket Review - Bullpadel Elite W Tour Final 25

What the reviewers say

The reviewers below tested the standard Elite W 25, which shares this edition's build. They agree it is easy to pick up and strong in defence. They split on how much control it gives at the net.

xTRES Padel found it the quickest to settle into of Bullpadel's 2025 range: "a safe racket, a racket that gives you confidence." He rated the defence and the control, but found it hard to put speed on the volley and called the feel a little soft.

Padel Review, an Italian channel, liked it less than last year's carbon version. They praised the lobs and the easy power at intermediate level, but warned that "with Fibrix the ball escapes, especially on the víbora." They also noted some vibration and a twisting head on hard blocks. Their scores: 9 for lobs and ball exit, 6.5 for control and for spin.

Padel Chiquito, a Spanish channel, called the touch "somewhat softer than I like, but very recommendable for lower levels." Its best score, 8.5, went to the volley for the handling and the sweet spot. The bandeja had plenty of control but lacked a little power.

Our take: Christoph's summary

This is a control-first hybrid that rewards placement more than a full, committed swing. Players who close points with a flat smash or a heavy víbora will feel the ball slide on the Fibrix face, and the top-end output stays modest at advanced pace. Played flat and deep, it is dependable and very easy to live with. For more finishing punch, the 2024 carbon Elite or the Vertex 04 W suit that game better.

This is its strongest area. The light hybrid head moves fast in the back court, and lobs go up deep with little effort, which both Padel Review and xTRES pointed out. Off the wall it stays controlled rather than explosive.

Power comes easily at intermediate swing speeds, and Padel Review got smashes to come back out to mid-court without forcing the swing. At advanced pace it tops out earlier than the 2024 carbon version. Spin shots need care: the lightly textured face does not hold the ball well on the víbora, so flat, deep hits work better.

Quick and easy to handle at the net, with a good sweet spot for placing volleys, which earned Padel Chiquito's top score. The trade-off is stability. On hard incoming balls the head can twist a little, and xTRES found it hard to add pace to the volley.

How it compares

• Bullpadel Elite W Gemma Triay 2025: the same build without the Tour Final finish. Buy whichever is cheaper on the day.
• Bullpadel Elite Woman 2024: the 3K carbon version. Firmer, with more top-end power, which Padel Review preferred for advanced play. Often cheaper now as well.
• Bullpadel Vertex 04 Woman 2025 Delfi Brea: a diamond with a rough face and a higher balance. Pick it if you attack more than you defend.
