Ratings, shape, weight, balance, feel and prices side by side — and which one suits your game.
In short: the Bullpadel Ionic Control 2026 hits harder (6.5 vs 5.6 for power); the Bullpadel Ionic Control 2026 is the more controlled racket (7.8 vs 6.7); the Bullpadel Ionic Control 2026 is more forgiving thanks to a bigger sweet spot; the Royal Padel 130 Factor 2026 is cheaper today (from €100).
Both are round rackets, so the differences come from balance, core and faces rather than the outline.
