Can a man play with women’s Bullpadel 2026 rackets?

We analyse the Bullpadel 2026 collection of women’s rackets, testing each model to determine whether a man can play with them without breaking them. We evaluated manoeuvrability, power, control, and suitability for different player profiles, noting that several models are perfectly suitable for men, with differences in weight, balance, and stiffness that influence performance.

Introduction

Many people believe that women’s rackets are less durable or can’t withstand the force of a male player. However, players like Bea González and Gemma Triay demonstrate that power is not limited by gender. In fact, some men may feel comfortable using women’s rackets under certain conditions.

In this article, we test each racket, analyse its features, and recommend player profiles for each one.

General Characteristics of Women’s rackets

A notable difference from men’s rackets is the absence of the Gesacor grip, which in men’s rackets helps dampen vibrations but adds thickness to the handle. Women’s rackets have a thinner grip, which can be more comfortable for many players.

All the rackets in this collection are lightweight, making quick changes of direction easier and improving manoeuvrability.
