Bullpadel Flow Legend 2027
The Bullpadel Flow Legend 2027 is the signature racket of four-time world number 1 Alejandra Salazar. A classic diamond shape for women, but with a light weight (350-360 grams) and maneuverable swingweight (155). This makes it a diamond racket that can be played attacking without the sluggishness of a heavy men's diamond. For women at pro level who want to finish points with smash and vibora, but stay quick at the net.
Our measurement
The key characteristics at a glance
Measured on our Wilson Baiardo Tune Pro. Objective measurement values, no marketing claims.
Very soft (60 on our scale). The ball sinks deeper into the face and bounces back softer. More forgiveness on shots that do not land exactly in the middle, and fewer vibrations to your arm.
Our hardness scale
Maneuverable (155 on our scale). For reference: rackets built purely around power often sit at 165 or higher, while control rackets sit around 150. This racket is maneuverable at the net.
Our swingweight scale
350 to 360 grams
medium to high (25.5 cm)
In practice: a classic diamond shape with a medium to high balance. The sweetspot is small and sits high on the face. How attacking or maneuverable this racket plays depends on weight, balance and swingweight. Choose this racket when you like to hit the ball high on the face and control clean impact points.
Who suits this racket
Well suited to: advanced to pro (women): players who like to hit the ball high on the face and who control clean impact points. On a diamond shape the sweetspot is small, so you need to hit the ball precisely to get maximum return from this racket. Ideal when you want to play attacking with smash and vibora.
Less suited to: players still working on their technique (the small sweetspot is less forgiving), players who tend to hit the ball centrally (a hybrid suits them better), and players with a sensitive elbow or tennis elbow. In that case have a look at our selection of rackets for padel elbow.
How does this racket play?
The sweetspot of a diamond shape is small and sits high on the face. Hit the ball there and you get maximum return. Hit it lower or to the side and you noticeably lose pace. This makes a diamond more demanding than a hybrid, but if you have the technique it rewards you with a level of explosiveness that other shapes cannot match.
Where this racket excels depends on the combination of weight, balance and swingweight. With higher balance and weight: power on the smash and vibora, with leverage in the head. With lower weight and swingweight: a maneuverable diamond racket that enables attacking shots without giving up reaction speed at the net. This specific Bullpadel measures 350-360 grams and swingweight 155.
The technology: what do you notice?
- Flow Legend Core: specific structure for women's attacking play, developed with Alejandra Salazar.
- 18K Carbon Hybrid (the face): middle ground carbon with solid feel.
- Hesacore grip: honeycomb pattern in the handle that absorbs vibrations.
- Multieva core: the rubber at the heart of the racket. The outer layers are hard for power on hard shots, the inside is softer for feel on softer shots. This way the racket responds differently to different shot intensities.
- Vibradrive: rubber in the handle that dampens vibrations. Less impact on your wrist and elbow on hard shots.
- Ease Vibe: four small dampeners integrated into the face. Bullpadel indicates they absorb up to 49% of vibrations. You can place them in other holes to adjust the character (more control or more power).
- 3D Grain: a rough texture on the face. What you notice: the ball grips better, which produces extra slice.
- Smart Holes: a hole pattern developed specifically for this face. Provides a consistent response on impact.
- Custom Weight: 3 gram carbon weights you can stick on the frame yourself. This way you tune the balance or total weight to your preference.
