Adidas RX Series Padel Racket vs Bullpadel Vertex 04 Woman Padel Racket — Padel Rackets Comparison UK 2026

An intermediate Adidas teardrop against a premium Bullpadel women's frame, with a proper £140 gap. The Adidas RX Series is 360-375g, teardrop shape, medium balance, EVA Soft Performance core and carbon fibre at 38mm. Versatile, well-built, fairly forgiving for a teardrop — a sensible step-up frame at £100-110. Adidas note it can feel heavy for some beginners.

The Bullpadel Vertex 04 Woman at £240 takes you into proper performance territory with the Vertex line's signature feel adapted for women's grip and balance.

• Buy the Adidas RX Series if you're an intermediate developing your power game, want a versatile teardrop, and don't want to drop £240 yet.
• Go Bullpadel Vertex 04 Woman if you're committed, playing at an advanced level, and want top-tier kit that won't be outgrown in a season.

For most British women playing club padel a couple of times a week, the Adidas RX is the right answer. The Vertex 04 Woman is the upgrade you earn after a year of consistent play, not the racket you start with.
