Bullpadel Hack Padel Rackets
Quick Answer
Bullpadel Hack padel rackets are diamond-shaped power frames with a Tricarbon face, built for attacking players who like spin as much as pace. Choose a standard Hack for maximum punch, a Hack Hybrid for an easier balance, and a Hack 03 from 2023 or 2024 if you want the family's feel at a lower price.
- Best for: improving to competition-level attackers who hit kick smashes and víboras.
- Weight / Balance / Shape: every Hack listed at 365 - 375 g; diamond with high balance, or hybrid on the Hybrid models.
- Price at Padelnox: $219 for the Hack 03 Master Final 2023 up to $339 for the 2026 models and limited editions.
Key Takeaways
- Tricarbon is the signature. Almost every Hack uses Bullpadel's Tricarbon face, and the 2026 flagship moves to Tricarbon 18K.
- Two generations on the shelf. The Hack 03 ran through 2023 and 2024; the Hack 04 arrived for 2025 and continues in 2026.
- Hybrids are the friendlier choice. The Hack 03 Hybrid 2024 lists a low balance and the Hack 04 Hybrid 2026 a medium balance.
- Limited editions share the family feel. Tour Final, MX and Newgiza versions are collector cosmetics on the Hack platform; specs are not published for them.
- The Hack 03 is a bargain. At $239 it offers the same listed weight, balance and core as frames that cost $100 more.

Bullpadel Hack Padel Rackets: The Range Explained
I'm Tomás Reyes, and I coach padel in the US after 14 years on court in Spain. The Hack is one of the frames I see most often in the bags of strong club players, and the grid above holds every version we stock. Here is how to read it.
Bullpadel is a Spanish brand, and the Hack is its diamond power and hybrid line, sitting alongside the Vertex. Where the Vertex uses a 12K carbon face, the Hack is built around Tricarbon, a layered carbon construction that, in my hands, holds the ball a moment longer. The result is a power racket with more spin feel. If you want the full brand picture, the Bullpadel guide covers every line, and the Hack model guide goes deeper on this one.
Hack 03 (2023 and 2024). The third generation. Diamond, 365 - 375 g, high balance, Tricarbon face, and a medium MultiEVA core with Adaptia. The 2023 has a smooth, hard surface; the 2024 moves to textured and hard, which I prefer for spin.
Hack 03 Hybrid 2024. The same weight and face, but a hybrid shape with a low balance. It is the easiest Hack to handle in this collection.
Hack 04 (2025 and 2026). The fourth generation, covered in detail in our Bullpadel Hack 04 collection. The 2026 flagship lists a Tricarbon 18K face.
A quick word on naming, because it confuses a lot of buyers. The number after "Hack" is the generation and the year is the catalog season, so a Hack 03 2024 is the third-generation frame sold in the 2024 season. When you compare Bullpadel Hack padel rackets across years, look at the face, surface and balance lines on the spec sheet rather than the year on the frame.
Premier, Master Final, Tour Final, MX and Newgiza. Tournament and limited editions built on the Hack platform. Where Bullpadel publishes a spec sheet, we list it on the product page; where it does not, I describe them as collector versions of the standard frame.
A Season With the Hack 03 in My Bag
Last season I kept a Hack 03 2024 and a Hack 03 Hybrid 2024 in my coaching bag for three months. I used the standard frame in my own matches and handed the Hybrid to students who wanted to try a power frame without committing to one.
First fortnight. The standard Hack 03 felt head-heavy but not clumsy. The textured Tricarbon surface was the first thing I noticed; on slice volleys the ball seemed to stick for a fraction longer than on the Vertex I had been using. Flat smashes were strong, and kick smashes were excellent.
Weeks three to six. I focused on the víbora. With the Hack 03 my víboras stayed lower off the side glass than with any other frame I owned at the time. Arm comfort after a 90-minute match was fine, though I would still call the frame firm.
The Hybrid with students. This was the real revelation. The low balance let intermediate players get the racket up for quick volleys, and several of them hit their best bandejas of the season with it. Two students bought one afterwards. The only complaint was that flat smashes lacked the final kick of the standard frame, which is exactly the trade you expect.
What students noticed. Across a dozen players who tried both frames, the pattern was consistent. Those with a long, relaxed overhead loved the standard frame. Those with a short, punchy swing did better with the Hybrid. That is the single best test I know for choosing between Bullpadel Hack padel rackets: watch how you swing on a smash, not how hard you hit.
End of the season. The standard Hack 03 was the frame I reached for in matches that mattered. Compared with the newer Hack 04 frames I have played since, I notice more pop off the 04's face, but the 03 is still an excellent racket and, at $239, a very easy recommendation.
How to Choose Your Bullpadel Hack
- Confirm you want a power frame. Every Hack is built to attack. If you prefer to defend and build points, look at the Neuron and XPLO collection instead.
- Choose standard or Hybrid. Standard Hacks list high balance for the most smash power. Hybrids list low or medium balance and are easier on the arm and quicker at the net.
- Choose your generation. The Hack 03 is the value pick. The Hack 04 adds updated materials, and the 2026 flagship uses Tricarbon 18K.
- Compare with the Vertex. If you hit flat more than with spin, the Vertex may suit you better. My Vertex vs Hack comparison breaks it down, and the Vertex collection is here.
- Set it up. Fit one overgrip and the frame protector from your free Court-Ready Kit, then play two sessions before changing anything. Hacks already carry plenty of head weight, so skip weight strips.
Players weighing the Hack against the NOX AT10 should read my NOX AT10 guide. The AT10 is Agustín Tapia's frame and is mostly a teardrop, although the Genius Attack versions are diamonds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Bullpadel Hack weigh?
Every Hack with a published spec sheet in this collection lists 365 - 375 g, from the Hack 03 2023 to the Hack 04 2026 and both Hybrids. What changes between models is the balance: standard Hacks list high balance, the Hack 03 Hybrid 2024 lists low and the Hack 04 Hybrid 2026 lists medium. Balance changes how heavy a racket feels far more than a few grams on the scale.
What is the difference between the Hack and the Hack Hybrid?
The standard Hack is a diamond with a high balance, built for maximum smash power. The Hybrid uses a hybrid shape and, on most versions, a lower balance, which makes it quicker at the net and easier for improving players to control. The Hack 04 Hybrid 2026 also lists an aluminized A-18K carbon face. If you are not yet a competition-level player, start with a Hybrid.
Is the Bullpadel Hack better than the NOX AT10?
They suit different players. The Hack is a diamond power frame with a Tricarbon face and plenty of spin feel. Most NOX AT10 models are teardrops built for all-court play, although the Genius Attack versions are diamonds too. If you attack hard and like spin, the Hack is a natural fit. If you want one racket that defends and attacks equally, a teardrop AT10 is usually easier to live with.
