Our Verdict
The Bullpadel Vertex Junior Boy 22 is one of the few junior rackets that takes young performance players seriously. Built around a diamond shape with an Evalastic rubber core and a full CarbonTube frame, it mirrors the architecture of a proper adult competition racket rather than diluting it. The Vertex Core reduces vibration without killing the lively, explosive response that attacking junior players crave. At 35mm thickness it is calibrated for younger physiques, but make no mistake — this is a racket for technically sound juniors who attack the ball with intent, and it will reward them accordingly.
Pros
- Young players who have outgrown beginner kit will find real pop here — the Evalastic rubber core returns energy efficiently, meaning less effort is needed to generate pace on aggressive shots from the back court.
- Vibration feedback is notably dampened for a diamond-shape racket thanks to the Vertex Core construction, which makes sustained play more comfortable without sacrificing the sharp response that advanced juniors need.
- The CarbonTube frame gives structural rigidity well above what you would expect from a junior racket, so there is no flex or dead feeling at the edges when driving the ball hard.
Cons
- Juniors who are still developing consistency and court awareness will find the high-balance diamond shape punishing on mishits — this racket rewards clean technique and genuinely struggles to forgive off-centre contact from less experienced players.

The Core
Evalastic
EVA core — a medium-density rubber that balances feel with energy return. Firmer than EVA Soft, giving a more direct response on hard contact and better power transfer.
Shape & Balance
Diamond · High Balance
The head-heavy weight distribution increases leverage through the swing arc, translating directly into pace on smashes and aggressive volleys. The sweet spot sits high on the face — effective when attacking, but demands cleaner contact than a round or teardrop would.
Who Buys This

Experienced players who favour aggressive, attacking play. Suited to competitive club players who dominate from the net and want maximum pace on smashes and volleys. Demands clean contact — rewards it with explosive performance.
