The Vertex 2 is the racquet for padel of Maxi Sanchez one of the best strikers in the world. Like the HACK, it is a racquet for offensive players with some differences.

The Vertex 2: A racket that will hurt

Maxi Sanchez's new weapon will therefore be the Vertex 2. A racquet of padel which remains in the tradition of the first generation Vertex with however some modifications or evolutions:

  • On the design side, it has nothing to do withfirst version was orange with blue. The Vertex 2 is fluorescent yellow with blue. A trendy look. The racket will not leave indifferent. But we, we love so we will not make the fine mouths. Finally, even the logo part has been repositioned / remodeled. You will find all the information of the racket on the edge of the racket.
  • The other difference is it's more about the shape of the racket, even if the base is the same as the first version : the framework 2017 is thinner or lighter from the center / heart of the racket which has the effect of slightly reducing the weight at the head of the racket. Finally, it is in theory, since in fact, we always find it strong in mind with a clearly defined offensive program. The heart of the racket is on the other hand harder, which increases the rigidity of the racket.
  • One of the strengths of the racket is its "NERVE" system which makes the racket more tolerant when it is decentered. A true strength of the racket thanks to its system. NERVE technology increases the lateral rigidity of the racket, making the racquet more forgiving.
  • Bullpadel also relies on its Vibradrive technology which absorbs vibrations when hitting the ball. On that, not much to say because indeed when playing with the racket, there is an impression of sharpness.
  • One of the specificities of the racket is its metal plate that can surprise at the start. But it is ultra-light and provides an extra touch of power especially on smashes. As protection, METALSHIELD technology is effective, even if it does not protect on the sides, which is a bit of a shame.
  • As far as communication is concerned, the logos are simplified giving a clean and clear appearance. On the blade side, you can read all the information.
  • The racket case is perfect. It's high end.  This year, the exterior is nylon and the interior is in thermal mode to protect the racket temperature.
