The Bullpadel Elite W Rome is the signature racket of world number 1 Gemma Triay and the official limited edition of the Rome Major. A teardrop racket built around control, comfort and maneuverability, and our measurement confirms that soft, accessible character.

WEIGHT
350 to 360 grams

BALANCE
low (25.8 cm)

In practice: a maneuverable, comfortable control racket. The soft core, the teardrop shape and the very low swingweight make it light, forgiving and kind to the arm. The teardrop shape gives a touch more power than a round racket, without giving up the maneuverability.

Who is this racket for

Well suited to: the intermediate to advanced player who wants control, comfort and maneuverability, and who builds the game with placement and speed rather than raw power. Thanks to the low weight, also a pleasant choice for women and players with a more sensitive arm.

Less suited to: players chasing maximum power and a head-heavy, attacking racket.

Elite W or Neuron 02 Edge: which fits you

Both rackets come from the Bullpadel Rome limited edition, but they are opposites. The Elite W is soft, light and teardrop-shaped, built for control and comfort. The Neuron 02 Edge is a hard, head-heavy diamond for the attacker chasing power. In short: choose the Elite W if you want to steer the game with ease and feel, and the Edge if you want to dominate and finish. Also explore our full Bullpadel collection.

Playing characteristics

The teardrop shape places the sweet spot slightly higher than a round racket, giving a good balance between control and a touch of extra power. Combined with the soft core and the very low swingweight, you get a racket that feels light, reacts quickly and stays forgiving, even on shots you don't strike perfectly.

Technology

The Elite Core, with its inverted triangular geometry and reinforcement at the base of the arms, increases the moment of inertia, giving more stability and less torsion on contact. The Air React Channel, the first air channel developed for padel, reduces air resistance in the throat for more maneuverability and speed. The Fibrix outer layer combines flexible fiberglass with stiffer carbon for a soft but responsive feel. The MultiEVA core is a sandwich of three EVA layers: firmer outer layers for power, a softer inner layer for comfort and damping. Vibradrive in the handle absorbs vibrations, especially on off-center shots.
