How to think about this racket
What it is
Hack 04 2026 is Bullpadel’s Paquito attack diamond: Tricarbon 18K, Multieva, Total Channel around the frame and Air React Channel through the Tricore heart. Official copy is accelerate and attack.
Who it's for
Advanced attackers who already generate racket-head speed. If you live on the block and counter, look at Hack 04 Hybrid first.
How it plays
Bullpadel talks about dynamic power and a sweet spot that lets you accelerate more easily. That is their positioning, not a measured smash speed.
Power vs control
This is the stiff 18K Hack. Hybrid uses A-18K aluminised carbon and a hybrid mould; Comfort uses Fibrix. Do not treat those as the same racket.
Handling
Pro Line weight band in the mid-360s. Custom Weight can load the tip. Air React Channel is the agility claim.
Comfort
Hesacore, Vibradrive and Ease Vibe are listed. Face is still Tricarbon 18K — firmer than Comfort.
Sweet spot / forgiveness
Attack diamond with 3D grain. Off-centre play is not the point of this model.
Materials
Tricarbon 18K, Multieva, CarbonTube, Total Channel, Tricore, Air React Channel, 3Dgrain, Custom Weight.
Buy if
- You want Paquito’s current Hack 04 diamond with Tricarbon 18K and Total Channel.
- You already attack and can live with a compact sweet spot.
Skip if
- You need Hack 04 Hybrid’s ~25 cm hybrid counter-attack setup.
- You want Fibrix comfort — that is Hack 04 Comfort.
Not ideal for: Those looking for Hybrid’s ~25 cm hybrid counter-attack setup. · Those looking for Fibrix comfort. · Those looking for it if you cannot name the weekly session this mould has to win. · Those looking for Players who want the Hybrid counter-attack mould or Fibrix Comfort.
How it decides
- Power9.0
Official playing style is offensive / accelerate and attack, with Tricarbon 18K and Total Channel.
- Control6.2
Attack diamond + compact sweet-spot rating versus Hybrid’s official control-first sheet.
- Forgiveness4.2
Professional offensive diamond with 3D grain. Low tolerance off-centre.
- Maneuverability6.4
Air React Channel claims faster airflow; static mass remains a mid-360s diamond.
- Comfort5.8
18K Tricarbon is the stiff Hack. Comfort is a different model.
- Stability8.6
Tricore + Total Channel are specified to raise torsional rigidity.
These are explainable buying attributes with source type, not laboratory measurements or a Kitletics overall score.
