Extreme EVO for budget power-curious beginners; Hack CTRL only for control-led intermediates with the technique to use it.
Premium control frame against budget teardrop. The Bullpadel Hack CTRL is £190 and all-skill-rated within Bullpadel's pro control line. The Head Extreme EVO is £55-75, beginner-rated, 350-365g, teardrop shape, medium balance, Power Foam core, fibreglass face at 38mm.
The Hack CTRL is built for players who already strike the ball cleanly and want precision at the net and off the back glass. It's the control sibling to the Vertex within Bullpadel's flagship lineup, and the benefits only show up when your timing is already there.
The Extreme EVO sits at the opposite end of the spectrum. The teardrop and medium balance push weight towards the head, giving you a hint of attacking pop as a learner who's outgrown round frames. Less forgiving than a pure round, basic fibreglass face, but appropriate for the stage and the price.
