Bullpadel AXYM DB 22
Bullpadel's AXYM DB 22 is an all-court padel racket featuring an asymmetric core design — the defining innovation — in a teardrop frame at 360–370 g. Every play metric scores 8/10 with a flat even-balance profile, making it a technically curious all-court frame that adapts across advanced playing styles.
Description

Who this racket is for
The Bullpadel AXYM DB 22 targets advanced players with consolidated technique who want more performance without yet moving to a pure competition racket. Its teardrop shape shifts the sweet spot slightly upwards, striking a balance between control and power. The medium balance keeps a balanced behaviour between baseline shots and volleys. The medium hardness offers a reasonable compromise between impact absorption and shot response. Its 360-370g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.
Pros
- ✓Asymmetric core design is the standout innovation — by offsetting the foam geometry within the teardrop frame, Bullpadel creates different response characteristics between the forehand and backhand sides of the face, allowing players to feel distinct feedback on each stroke
- ✓Even teardrop balance at 360–370 g returns identical 8/10 scores across all five play metrics — power, control, ball exit, maneuverability, and sweet spot — a genuinely symmetric all-court profile where no metric is a weakness
- ✓Medium touch on an asymmetric core provides a unique tactile character that changes slightly depending on where and how the ball contacts the face — advanced players who experiment with different shot types will notice the variation and learn to use it
- ✓Even balance at the lower end of the 360–370 g range keeps the swing feel lighter than the maximum weight, enabling advanced players to maintain energy through long training blocks without excessive fatigue
- ✓8/10 ball exit from the medium-density asymmetric core generates consistent rebounds across the hitting zone — the asymmetric geometry does not introduce rebound inconsistency, only touch variation
Cons
- ✗The asymmetric core requires a genuine adaptation period — players accustomed to symmetric constructions will initially find the forehand-backhand touch variation disorienting rather than useful
- ✗All five play metrics at 8/10 means the racket excels at nothing — advanced players who specifically need a dominant strength (10/10 control or power) will find the flat all-court profile insufficient for their game style
- ✗As a 2022 model, the AXYM DB 22 is no longer in active production — availability is limited to old stock, and players who damage the frame cannot guarantee a direct replacement
