Our Verdict
Stupaczuk's racket — and what a choice. Power with a fibreglass face that gives more control than the carbon alternatives. A serious advanced weapon.
Full Review
The Bullpadel Hack 03 is used by one of the most respected defenders on the circuit — Franco Stupaczuk — and its design philosophy reflects his game. The diamond shape provides the power for aggressive overhead play, while the fibreglass face (rather than carbon) delivers a softer, more forgiving response that is excellent for control-based defensive work. This makes the Hack 03 uniquely versatile among Bullpadel's advanced range: it is powerful enough for attacking play but forgiving enough to suit players who need to redirect pace under pressure. At £249 it sits at the premium end of the advanced category — and it earns that position.
