They say padel is a game of choices.
Choosing between tearing power or holding control. Between surprising speed or defining precision. Between anticipating agility or sustaining stability.
But those who understand the game know that greatness is not about choosing. It's about having it all. About feeling everything respond to your hand.
Vertex 05, the new racket of "El Gato", Juan Tello, is ready for every challenge.

Vertex 05, the latest evolution of our most iconic racket.
The best-selling racket on the market returns this year more complete, more reactive, more stable and intuitive, reaffirming itself as the most balanced option for any playing style.
Its new reinforced core and optimized Curv:aKtiv improve stability and energy transmission in each shot, offering a fluid, easy, and solid playing experience.
The Vertex 05 is the total racket: capable of adapting to defense, attack, and transitions, always with the same consistency and reliability that has made this series a padel icon.
The pursuit of perfection continues to mark our path, and with the Vertex 05, we take another step: the most complete racket we have created so far, developed in collaboration with our professional players to take the concept of Total Play to the highest level.
Discover all its technologies below:
CurvAktiv :
CurvAktiv has been optimized in the new Vertex 05, extending the incidence of its planes by 11 degrees to a total inclination of 31.6º.
This greater twist in the side faces generates a deeper variable section along the profile, creating a unique twisted structure of variable and highly efficient section.
The result is a racket with a more balanced vibration distribution, capable of working better in two directions: greater structural solidity and more reactivity in each shot, making you feel immediate comfort, with a livelier and more controlled response in any aspect of the game.
AIR POWER:
AIR POWER is the natural evolution of the Air React Channel system. With this new technology, we have increased the size of the channel in the lower side part of the frame by 50%. How did we achieve this? By increasing the length of the involved surfaces of the hollow structure. This makes Air Power a much more efficient area compared to a solid racket or its previous version, the Air React Channel.
With Air Power, we add even more energy return when hitting, more agility, more lightness in the area, and greater acceleration, making the new Vertex 05 a more reactive, stable, aerodynamic, and manageable racket.
AIR POWER + CurvAktiv:
The Vertex 05 combines Air Power and Curv:Aktiv technologies to offer total performance, creating the most balanced and complete racket ever developed by our brand. Curv:Aktiv enhances the Coanda effect, channeling air towards the Air Power system, reducing air resistance and improving the aerodynamics of the racket by up to 23%. The result is a more agile racket, with greater acceleration capacity, which translates into impeccable handling, absolute control, and exceptional reactivity in each shot.
VERTEX CORE:
The essence as always, taken to the next level. The new Vertex core, characterized by its double diagonal bridge, has undergone a complete restyling compared to its predecessor, achieving a more triangular geometry that optimally distributes forces between its edges. This reduces vibrations, minimizes torsion, and significantly increases the rigidity of the solid.
As part of this structural evolution, the volume in the lower area has been increased, providing it with greater thickness and firmness, while the termination of the core has been slightly widened, incorporating a small extra volume. These improvements reinforce the connection between frame and face, optimize energy transmission, and provide a more solid and stable feel in each shot.
The result is a racket with which the player can achieve high performance both from the back of the court and at the net, enjoying more precise control, greater stability, and a feeling of solidity in each shot.
EASE VIBE:
Ease Vibe are latest-generation dampeners, designed to optimize your performance on the padel court. Integrated into four strategic holes of the racket, Ease Vibe have undergone rigorous studies by the Polytechnic University of Madrid, demonstrating their ability to absorb up to 49% of the vibrations produced when hitting the ball.
Thanks to their redesigned spring-like geometry, these dampeners not only improve vibration absorption but also elevate their overall performance. This innovative shape allows for unique customization of the racket's feel and balance, giving you the flexibility to adjust your game according to your needs. Whether you seek greater control or power, Ease Vibe allows you to adapt your racket to maximize each shot and ensure a more comfortable and effective playing experience.
CUSTOM WEIGHT:
The CustomWeight system consists of gel-finished plates weighing 3g each, which add extra weight to specific areas where they are placed. With this, we can modify the balance of the racket according to the needs of each player.
The Vertex 05 structure is designed for the placement of a total of 4 weights at the top of the racket. With all this, we can create different specifications of up to 12g more and a balance change of +-1cm.
TOP SPIN:
The Vertex 05 increases the amount of grit on the last layer of the racket face, achieving more pronounced and precise effects that will allow you to dominate every shot. This increase in the amount of grit not only enhances the generation of aggressive spin in cut shots, volleys, bandejas, and smashes, but also makes this technology more durable over time, ensuring superior and consistent performance over more matches.
HESACORE:
Discover the new Hesacore with its renovated formula to protect your game even more. With the new Hesacore, you won't have to worry about arm discomfort or unwanted vibrations, as our improved anti-vibration elastomer filters and minimizes these sensations, allowing you to concentrate on your performance without distractions.
Its ergonomic honeycomb design creates a larger contact surface between the hand and the grip. This allows the fingers to rest in the concave surfaces, thereby reducing effort and injuries, while also providing a firm and comfortable grip that allows you to maintain total control of the racket at all times.
VIBRADRIVE:
Vibradrive is characterized by the insertion of a high-elasticity elastomer that fragments the handle along its longitudinal axis. The implementation of this elastomer stands as a key element in optimizing player performance. The exceptional elasticity of the material used, along with its strategic location, makes vibradrive an essential element for absorbing vibrations, especially in situations of off-center hitting.
XTEND-CARBON 12K:
The Vertex 05 is made with X-TEND Carbon 12K, an advanced fiber composed of 12,000 high-grammage carbon filaments woven biaxially. Its more open architecture allows for a light and homogeneous laminate, optimizing elasticity and reactivity for a perfect interaction with the Vertex mold geometry.
The 12K is at the ideal intermediate point, providing a balanced medium hardness that combines power and control in a versatile way.
The result is a racket that adapts to all phases of the game, offering the necessary power in attack, but also stability and control in defense, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a total game.
MULTIEVA:
The core of this padel racket has been designed with a "sandwich" type structure, composed of three layers of EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl-Acetate) of different densities, carefully adapted to optimize performance in every game situation.
1. Outer Layers: The two outer layers, made with a higher density and rigidity EVA, are designed to maximize power in the most explosive shots, offering a quick and forceful response upon impacting the ball.
2. Inner Layer: The inner layer, made of a softer and lower density EVA, acts as a cushioning core, increasing tolerance and comfort in lower speed shots. This internal softness not only improves the hitting sensation but also helps reduce vibrations, decreasing the risk of injuries and providing greater control in more delicate shots.
