Price is the euro RRP; UK street prices are usually lower. | Spec | Bullpadel Ionic Control 2026 | | --- | --- | | Shape | Round | | Weight | 365 to 375 g | | Balance | Low | | Core | MultiEVA (medium-soft) | | Feel | Medium-Soft | | Face | Glaphite | | Frame | Glaphite | | Playing style | Control | | Season | 2026 | | RRP | €180 (mid band) | ## What the specs mean on court On the numbers, the Bullpadel Ionic Control 2026 makes most sense for intermediate all-rounders, players with elbow or arm trouble, intermediate right-side players and beginners. It is a weaker choice for intermediate left-side players and advanced attackers. A round head keeps the sweet spot big and central. Mishits stay in play, and placement is easy; you supply the power on the smash yourself. The softer core holds the ball longer and gives easy depth at slow swing speeds, at the cost of some precision on hard hits.
