Bullpadel Axym DB 2023

Introduction

The Bullpadel Axym DB 2023 is a tear-shaped racket with a medium-soft feel, suited for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control.

Shape & Balance

The tear shape gives this racket a balanced feel — neither too head-heavy nor too head-light. You get a good mix of power and control without extremes.

The balance point sits comfortably for most players, making it easier to handle in transition. You won't feel it too heavy at the top, but it's not super agile either.

Grip

The grip feels comfortable in your hand, with a standard size that suits most players. It provides a secure hold, so you don't have to worry about slipping during hard shots.

Over a long match, the medium-soft feel helps reduce vibration, but the weight (365-375g) might cause fatigue in your wrist for some players. It's a trade-off for the stability it offers.

Power & Control

The power score of 7.1 is solid but not explosive. You'll get decent pace on smashes, but you might need to put in a bit of effort to get winners past good defenders.

Control is stronger at 7.6, so you can place the ball accurately. The racket responds well to your shots, making it easier to hit angles and keep the ball low.

Comfort & Speed

Comfort-wise, the medium-soft feel absorbs a lot of shock, which is kind to your arm. The MultiEVA core helps with that, making it a good choice for players who worry about elbow issues.

Speed is good with a maneuverability score of 7.7. It's not the quickest, but it's enough for most defense situations. You can react fast, though in very fast rallies it might feel slightly slower than lighter rackets.

Materials & Durability

The frame and faces are graphite, which is standard for a durable racket. Graphite is strong and holds up well to regular play.

The MultiEVA core is a mid-density foam that balances comfort and durability. It should keep its properties for a good while, though heavy use might soften it over time.

Analysis

This racket feels balanced in your hands. The tear shape gives you a decent sweet spot, and the medium-soft core makes it forgiving on off-center hits.

Power is solid at 7.1, which is not overwhelming but enough for most players. Control is a bit better at 7.6, so you can place your shots with confidence.

The rebound rating of 9.0 stands out, meaning the ball comes off the face quickly. This helps generate pace without adding much effort, but it can be tricky if you prefer a softer touch.

Maneuverability is fine at 7.7, so it swings quick enough for defensive shots. However, it's not the fastest racket out there, so you might feel it in fast exchanges.

If you're a beginner or have a slower swing, you might find the high rebound hard to tame. But if you have good technique, this racket rewards you with consistent performance.
