With the start of the season, the
new Bullpadel 2022 rackets are in the spotlight. Without a doubt, it has been one of the most anticipated collections of the year. This time, we bring you a complete analysis of two rackets for advanced players: the Ionic PWR and the Ionic CTR. Learn all their details so you can decide which of the new Bullpadel Ionic rackets best suits your playing style.
Analysis of the new Bullpadel Ionic rackets
This launch belongs to the brand's
Next Line. This category includes rackets aimed at
intermediate and
advanced players. This range is characterized by being one of the best in terms of value for money, as it features some technologies and components from professional ranges, but at a more affordable cost.
Features of the Bullpadel Ionic PWR
The
Bullpadel Ionic PWR is the
power version. Created for aggressive players who tend to be close to the net and make powerful shots. That is why it has a
diamond shape, with a sweet spot located at the top of the faces. However, unlike professional power rackets, it has a
medium balance to be a little more manageable.
The racket incorporates some of the most well-known components by fans. First, it has a
100% carbon tubular frame, guaranteeing the best resistance with the most used material in rackets. On the other hand, it has
faces made of
Glaphite. This material is one of the most interesting, because it is a combination of
fiberglass and carbon fiber. This gives the racket an intermediate hardness feel, neither too rigid nor too soft. This allows the player to hit with power without losing comfort and control.
Inside, the racket features
MultiEva. This is a
rubber that has
two densities. One part of it is soft for control shots and the other is hard for power shots. This component is one of the most outstanding features of the racket, as it is a rubber that is also present in the rackets used by
World Padel Tour players.
As additional details, the racket has two complementary technologies to improve performance. One of them is
XForce, a system that improves balance and makes the structure more resistant. Additionally,
3D Grain is incorporated, the
rough surface technology for spin shots.
Features of the Bullpadel Ionic CTR
The new
Bullpadel Ionic CTR is the
control version, for those looking for a
manageable racket. Because it is a racket that stands out for its easy handling, it could also be used by
beginners, although it is still a racket belonging to the Next Line range for
advanced players.
Like the PWR version, it has a solid construction, which is composed of a
100% carbon frame and
Glaphite faces. The double-density
MultiEva core is also incorporated inside for versatile hitting that allows for similar levels of control and power. In addition, as it belongs to the same rubber, XForce technologies and 3D Grain rough surfaces are incorporated.
So, what makes the CTR version different? This racket has a
round shape and a
low balance. The round shape has a
wider sweet spot located in the center, characteristics that benefit control. With respect to the low balance, it means that the weights are concentrated in the lower part of the racket, that is, near the handle. This generates a feeling of greater
lightness and
maneuverability.
