Buy the Adidas RX if you're a developing intermediate, otherwise the Bullpadel Vertex 04 if you're a confident, attacking player.
An intermediate-versus-advanced pairing where the brand DNA matters. The Adidas RX at £100-110 is a versatile teardrop with a carbon fibre face, EVA Soft Performance core and medium balance — good all-round intermediate kit, easy on the elbow, capable on the smash.
The Bullpadel Vertex 04 Hybrid at £260-280 is the more aggressive option. Hybrid shape, MultiEva core, medium-high balance and proper vibration dampening. Bullpadel skews towards Spanish power-hitters in design, and the Vertex sits firmly in that lineage.
Things worth flagging:
Different design philosophies, different prices, different players. Don't buy a competitive racket because it looks the part — buy what your level can actually exploit.
