Buy the Vertex 04 Hybrid if you compete; otherwise the ML10 Pro Cup is the better-value choice.
Two competitive frames at different price points and with different DNA. The Vertex 04 Hybrid at £260-280 is Bullpadel's flagship hybrid: 360-380g, MultiEva core, carbon face, Medium-High balance. You're paying for build quality, vibration dampening and power output, and it's marked advanced for good reason.
The ML10 Pro Cup sits at £180 and is a genuinely versatile all-levels frame from Nox, a brand that's quietly brilliant at value. It won't quite match the Vertex on raw output but you save £80-100.
My recommendation: - Vertex 04 Hybrid if you're playing tournaments, your technique is solid, and you want best-in-class power with the dampening to keep your arm happy. - ML10 Pro Cup if you're a strong improver or club player who wants a respected racket without the flagship premium.
Honestly, unless you're competing weekly at a decent standard, the £100 saved on the Nox buys you a lot of court time and coaching.
