Our verdict
What the shape, core and construction tell us about how this racket is built to play.
The short version
The Elite W MX 25 is a teardrop with the soul of an attacker — the high balance and Elite Core stiffness make it best suited to players who generate their own pace and want their racket to amplify it rather than absorb it. The limited-edition MX finish is genuinely striking, but the playing profile is the real reason to buy it: all-court versatility that pulls toward the offensive end of the spectrum. Players who prioritise quick defensive handling or are managing arm issues should look at the standard Elite W 25 instead, where the balance is more neutral.
Strengths
Consistent club players and advanced all-court players who want a single racket that covers baseline exchanges and still has enough punch to finish points at the net
Players on either side of the court who have solid technique and can exploit a higher balance point without losing control on defensive blocks
Keep in mind
Players with elbow sensitivity or limited playing experience — the high balance and stiff Elite Core frame transmit more vibration than the standard Elite W 25, and off-centre hits will feel it
How it's built to play
The Elite W MX 25 is a limited-edition variant of Bullpadel's Elite line built around the same teardrop-shape, high-balance architecture that Gemma Triay competes with — dressed in a Day of the Dead turquoise finish that makes it one of the more visually distinctive Pro-Line rackets in the 2025 catalogue. What matters beyond the aesthetic is that the MX version carries the Elite Core construction into a racket priced and positioned for serious club players who want professional-grade response without committing to a full diamond shape.
The Elite Core is the structural centrepiece here — an internal frame reinforcement that locks the heart and throat against torsion, so the teardrop shape doesn't lose energy when the ball lands toward the frame edges. On a hybrid shape, that matters: without it, the transition zone between the round-ish lower face and the slightly elevated sweet spot can feel inconsistent, especially on stretched volleys. The high balance pushes weight toward the head, which on a teardrop means you get more momentum on swing-through than a low-balance all-court racket provides — useful for overhead finishing, less so if you need to redirect fast balls at the net in a hurry. The face materials align with the standard Elite W 25 platform: Bullpadel's Fibrix hybrid face blends glass fibre flexibility with carbon rigidity, giving a contact feel that's crisper than pure fiberglass but more forgiving than a full carbon surface. That combination keeps the racket accessible to players who haven't fully committed to an EVA-core, carbon-face attacking setup.
In play, the high balance is the defining characteristic — and it's the thing that most separates this from the standard Elite W 25. Drives from mid-court carry more naturally, and bandejas have a satisfying weight to them that lower-balance teardrops can't quite replicate. The Elite Core reinforcement earns its keep on volleys: the frame holds shape through contact in a way that cheaper teardrop builds don't, so there's less 'give' on pace-on balls at the net. Where the high balance asks something back is on defensive resets and quick-reaction volleys — it takes a fraction more effort to redirect the racket head, which becomes noticeable when you're under pressure on the backhand side. Players who split time across both sides of the court will find this rewarding on the left, slightly demanding on the right. It's not a racket that hides technical gaps; a clean swing gets clean results, and a rushed one reminds you exactly where the ball landed on the face.
FAQ
How does the Elite W MX 25 compare to the Elite W 25 standard version?
The core playing architecture is the same — both use the Elite Core reinforcement in a teardrop shape — but the MX 25 carries a high balance versus the more moderate balance of the standard Elite W 25. That difference means the MX 25 leans further toward attack: more head momentum on overheads and drives, slightly less maneuverability on defensive redirects. The MX is also a limited edition, so availability will be finite. If you want the same Elite Core construction with a more neutral feel, the standard Elite W 25 is the safer long-term choice.
Should I choose the Elite W MX 25 or the Elite W TF 25?
The Elite W TF 25 is a higher-spec version in the Elite line, priced at €349.99 versus €299.99 for the MX 25 — that price gap typically reflects upgraded face materials or construction. The MX 25 is the better pick if the limited-edition design and high-balance attacking profile match your game; the TF 25 is worth the extra spend if you want the most technically refined Elite platform available. Both sit at professional level and require consistent technique to get the best out of them.
Is the high balance on this racket a problem if I play on the right side of the court?
It can be. High balance means the weight lives in the head of the racket, which benefits overhead finishing and drives but makes quick-reaction volleys and defensive blocks slightly slower to execute. Right-side players typically need fast, reliable redirects more than raw power on smashes. The Elite W MX 25 is playable from the right for advanced players with strong wrist control, but if you predominantly play right side, a medium or low balance teardrop will serve you better.
Is this racket suitable for players with elbow sensitivity?
It's not the first choice for anyone managing arm problems. The high balance sends more vibration toward the arm than a low-balance racket does, and the Elite Core's stiffness — while great for power and precision — reduces the frame's natural shock absorption. The risk profile isn't as high as a diamond-shape EVA-core setup, but it's not an arm-friendly build either. Players with elbow sensitivity should consider a round or teardrop racket with low balance and a softer foam core — the Bullpadel Flow or Ionic lines are better starting points.
What does the Elite Core technology actually do on court?
Elite Core is an internal frame reinforcement that locks the throat and heart of the racket against twisting when the ball hits off-centre. In practice, this means volleys and groundstrokes that don't hit the exact sweet spot still feel solid rather than hollow — the frame doesn't flex and wobble through the contact, so energy transfer stays consistent. For a teardrop shape where the sweet spot sits only slightly above centre, that torsional stability is what separates the Elite line from mid-range teardrops that feel fine in the middle but lose response toward the edges.
