Skill level: Advanced juniors
This model was designed for advanced junior players who want to improve their technique with a high-performance racket (adapted from the Paquito Navarro adult version).
Playing style: All-round offensive
This racket's diamond-shaped head and performance give strokes more power. The low weight and fibreglass (PolyGlass) surface make it less rigid so young players can play with a more aggressive style. That said, the technology in the racket throat also helps improve the level of control. This means that the Bullpadel Hack JR 2023 offers both the power and control young players need.
Balance: Medium
This is the racket's balance point, measured in millimetres from the bottom of the racket (handle).
The higher the number (when the balance point is closer to the head), the more powerful and stable the racket will be, giving you the impression that it's heavier (even if it doesn't actually weigh more). However, it will be harder to handle. Conversely, the lower the number (balance point towards the handle), the easier the racket will be to handle, but it'll also be less powerful and less stable.
Weight: 335-345 g.
Just like the balance point, the weight impacts a racket's swingweight and therefore its manoeuvrability, stability and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racket, the more power you'll get, but the harder it will be to handle. Conversely, the lighter the racket, the easier it will be to handle, but the less powerful it will be.
External material: Fibreglass
Fibreglass is the most flexible option for the external material: the more flexible the fibre, the easier the ball will come off the racket and the more comfortable the shot. With a less flexible fibre, we can get more power into the racket.
Internal material: Evalastic
EVA foam comes in several densities: the higher the density, the harder it is. Hardness is one of the properties of this material, so it's easy to tweak the density for more power. The Evalastic foam provides flexibility and a soft feel.
Carbon Tube technology
100% carbon fibres are integrated into the frame, woven in different directions to achieve a balance of power and control.
PolyGlass technology
Fibre made from melted glass. It is a very durable material that provides comfort on impact; in other words, it provides an excellent balance of elasticity and durability.
Evalastic technology
Low-density foam with specific elasticity and density properties for enhanced feel and greater comfort. The racket's composition helps it retain its initial performance level for longer.
Hack technology
This technology makes the racket more rigid and better distributes the weight of the racket's components for a perfect balance. At the moment of impact, the Hack throat improves control on off-centre shots that miss the sweetspot.
