Paquito Navarro's official 2020 Bullpadel padel racket featuring Tricarbon construction, a dual-density MultiEva core, and a CustomWeight balance system. A 10/10 power rating with head-heavy diamond geometry makes it a pure offensive weapon from the original Hack 02 generation.

Who this racket is for
The Bullpadel Hack 02 2020 targets advanced players with consolidated technique who want more performance without yet moving to a pure competition racket. Its diamond shape moves the sweet spot to the top of the face, giving more leverage and power at the cost of some tolerance. The high balance adds weight to the swing and pushes the racket toward an offensive profile. The hard build favours explosive shots, especially bandeja and smash, but demands more technique. Its 360-375g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.
Pros
- ✓Tricarbon faces — a proprietary triple-layer carbon weave — deliver 10/10 power by combining three carbon plies for maximum stiffness and energy transfer, ensuring Navarro's hard-hitting game is fully amplified at ball contact
- ✓CustomWeight system allows physical balance adjustment within the head-heavy diamond frame, enabling players to fine-tune between a more extreme head-heavy setup for maximum smash power and a slightly more neutral attack position
- ✓Dual-density MultiEva core layers two foam stiffness grades — a firmer zone for stability on high-impact drives and a more responsive zone for medium-speed ball handling, supporting both the 10/10 power and the 8/10 control rating
- ✓Hesacore grip included as standard provides a hexagonal handle structure that improves grip security and reduces the vibration that reaches the hand, protecting the arm during intense offensive sessions
- ✓Head-heavy diamond balance concentrates maximum mass at the top of the frame, generating the highest possible rotational momentum on overheads to produce the 10/10 power output
Cons
- ✗Maneuverability is rated 6/10 — the lowest figure in the spec sheet — because the head-heavy balance at 360–375 g creates significant swing inertia that makes defensive scrambles and quick net redirects physically demanding
- ✗Sweet spot scores 7/10 and sits high on the diamond frame — Tricarbon stiffness amplifies the punishment on off-center hits, making precise ball-striking essential
- ✗Ball exit at 7/10 is notable — despite the 10/10 power, the medium-hard Tricarbon construction is optimized for energy transfer rather than elastic rebound, so raw pace comes from swing mechanics not frame springback
