Few brands are as closely linked to the history of padel as Bullpadel. Its bull logo has been on the courts since padel began to catch on in Spain, and today it is still in the hands of some of the best players on the professional tour. We tell you where it comes from, how it has evolved and which of its rackets suits your style of play.
The origins: 1995 and a commitment to quality
Bullpadel was born in 1995, when a group of Argentine and Spanish professionals decided to make padel rackets in Spain. It was a small, little-known company, but its obsession with quality and research quickly earned its rackets players' respect.
To make itself known, it bet on sponsorship from the start: it signed leading players of the time such as Juan Mieres and Juanjo Gutiérrez, a strategy the brand has kept to this day.
2005-2007: reinvention and growth
In 2005 the company Aguirre y Cía acquired Bullpadel. A new logo and a refreshed image arrived and, above all, a commitment to designing and producing high-performance rackets for an increasingly professional market. The brand kept signing top players, such as Marcelo Jardim and Neki Berwig.
2007 brought definitive growth: Bullpadel expanded its catalogue with footwear and clothing collections and went from a racket brand to a complete padel brand.

Bullpadel racket ranges
Bullpadel organises its catalogue into families that are renewed every season. Knowing them helps you get it right:
- Vertex: the most attacking range. Diamond shape, high balance and lots of power. Ideal if you smash a lot. It is the racket of Juan Tello and, in its Woman version, of Delfi Brea.
- Hack: power with a little more manoeuvrability. The 05 version is the racket of Paquito Navarro.
- XPLO and Neuron: more balanced rackets for all-round players who alternate defence and attack. The XPLO is the choice of Martín Di Nenno.
- Elite: light, easy-to-handle rackets designed for women, like the one used by Gemma Triay.
