Ratings, shape, weight, balance, feel and prices side by side — and which one suits your game.
In short: the Nox EA10 Ventus Hybrid 12K Xtrem 2026 hits harder (8.4 vs 8.0 for power); the Bullpadel Vertex 05 Hybrid 2026 is the more controlled racket (9.2 vs 8.4); the Nox EA10 Ventus Hybrid 12K Xtrem 2026 is cheaper today (from €180).
Both are teardrop rackets, so the differences come from balance, core and faces rather than the outline.
Feel: medium for the Bullpadel Vertex 05 Hybrid 2026, medium-hard for the Nox EA10 Ventus Hybrid 12K Xtrem 2026 Edu Alonso. Softer cores give easier depth at low speed and more comfort; harder cores reward fast swings with precision.
