Highlights
What makes this racket stand out
Diamond shape with high balance drives power into overheads and bandejas — the sweet spot sits high in the head where left-side finishers make contact most
Fibrix face (fiberglass-carbon hybrid) takes the edge off the stiffness you'd expect from a full-carbon diamond, giving more forgiveness on off-centre hits without killing ball speed
Custom Weight system lets you add 3, 6, or 9 grams to the head — useful if you want to push the balance even higher for smash-heavy play, or leave it stock for faster handling

Our verdict
What the shape, core and construction tell us about how this racket is built to play.
The short version
The Pearl Newgiza is the right diamond for an advanced left-side player who wants overhead power but isn't ready to absorb the full harshness of a pure carbon face — the Fibrix-MultiEVA combination keeps the feel livelier and less punishing than comparable stiff builds. At 355–365g it's nimble for a head-heavy diamond, which helps in fast net rallies, but that lightness means it gives up some punch compared to heavier attacking alternatives when you're not making clean contact. Anyone with elbow sensitivity should look elsewhere — this is still a high-balance diamond and the risk profile reflects that.
Strengths
Left-side players with consistent overhead technique who want explosive finishing shots without a rock-hard carbon face
Advanced club players transitioning from a teardrop into a diamond who need a slightly more forgiving entry point into the high-balance world
Keep in mind
Players with elbow or shoulder sensitivity — the diamond shape, high balance, and EVA-based core create enough vibration on mishits to aggravate existing problems
How it's built to play
The Pearl Newgiza sits in an interesting position inside Bullpadel's range: it carries all the structural aggression of a diamond — high balance, 38mm profile, EVA core — but the Fibrix face material softens the equation just enough to make it approachable for strong intermediates who are ready to move left. At 355–365g it's on the lighter end for a high-balance diamond, which means it accelerates quickly through the swing arc without demanding the arm strength that heavier attacking rackets require. The trade-off is that you give up some stability on the hardest, most off-centre impacts.
The Fibrix face is the defining construction choice here. It blends flexible fiberglass strands with rigid carbon filaments, which means the face has some give at contact — unlike a pure 12K or 18K carbon skin that transfers energy with zero flex. In practice that translates to a slightly longer dwell time than you'd get from a full-carbon diamond, giving players a fraction more influence over ball direction before it leaves the face. It won't generate the raw snap of TriCarbon 18K, but it also won't send vibration straight up the arm on a mistimed volley. The MultiEVA core stacks three EVA layers: two denser outer sheets that respond sharply on fast, attacking strikes, and a softer inner layer that absorbs the shock on slower balls and reduces residual buzz. Combined with the Fibrix face, the racket avoids the twin-stiffness problem (stiff face + dense core) that makes some diamonds genuinely arm-unfriendly. The Carbon Tube frame — 100% bidirectional carbon around the perimeter — keeps the structure from flexing under torque, so energy that does build up in the Fibrix face transfers cleanly rather than leaking into the frame walls. The Air React Channel at the throat cuts drag through the swing and stiffens the four frame arms on impact, which adds to ball exit speed without adding grams. VibraDrive in the handle absorbs the remaining vibration before it reaches the wrist — a sensible inclusion on any high-balance diamond.
On overheads and bandejas the Pearl Newgiza delivers what the specs promise: the high balance loads the head through the swing, and the MultiEVA outer layers pop the ball away with authority. The 3D Grain surface texture adds meaningful grip on topspin lobs and angled drive volleys — not just a cosmetic finish. Where the racket distinguishes itself from harder diamonds is on the less-than-perfect contact: a volley caught slightly toward the frame doesn't die the way it would on a full-carbon face. That's the Fibrix working, and it's particularly noticeable in fast net exchanges where you can't always set up cleanly. The Custom Weight system is a genuine differentiator. Out of the box at 355–365g with high balance, the Pearl already feels committed to attack. Add 9 grams to the head and it becomes noticeably more head-heavy — useful for players who want maximum smash momentum, but it narrows the margin for quick lateral reactions at the net. Most players will find the stock configuration the better starting point.
FAQ
How does the Pearl Newgiza compare to the Bullpadel Hack 04?
Both are diamond-shape, high-balance attacking rackets, but they sit at different points on the stiffness scale. The Hack 04 uses a TriCarbon or X-Tend Carbon face — harder, more direct energy transfer, higher vibration — and is built primarily for maximum swing speed and explosive power. The Pearl Newgiza's Fibrix face introduces more give at contact, making it more forgiving on off-centre hits and easier on the arm. If you want the most aggressive option and have clean technique, the Hack 04 goes further. If you want power with a softer touch and more control over ball placement, the Pearl Newgiza is the better call.
Is the Pearl Newgiza suitable for a strong intermediate player, or does it really require professional-level technique?
The 'professional' label on Bullpadel's spec sheet reflects the racket's lineage more than a strict skill gate. A strong intermediate — someone with two or more years of consistent play, reliable overhead technique, and a clear preference for left-side attacking — can play this racket effectively. What you need is consistency on overheads and net volleys. If your technique is still developing and you're making frequent mishits, the high balance will punish you: the sweet spot sits high in the head and off-centre strikes lose energy sharply. A teardrop would be a safer stepping stone.
What does the Custom Weight system actually change on the Pearl Newgiza?
The Custom Weight system lets you insert additional weights of 3, 6, or 9 grams toward the top of the head. Adding weight there raises the balance point higher, which increases the momentum the head generates through the swing — most noticeable on overhead smashes and bandejas where you want more force without swinging faster. The downside is that a heavier head slows your reaction time at the net on quick exchanges. Most club players will do fine leaving the racket at its stock configuration and only experimenting with extra weight once they've logged enough sessions to feel exactly where they want more.
Is the Pearl Newgiza a risk for players with tennis elbow?
Yes — the combination of diamond shape, high balance, and EVA core creates a risk profile that's not suitable for anyone currently dealing with elbow or shoulder problems. The VibraDrive handle system absorbs some vibration before it reaches the wrist, and the Fibrix face is softer than a full-carbon skin, both of which reduce (but don't eliminate) the vibration load. If you're returning from injury or managing elbow sensitivity, a round-shape racket with low balance, soft foam core, and fiberglass face is the safer category — not this one.
What is Fibrix and how is it different from a standard carbon face?
Fibrix is Bullpadel's hybrid face material that weaves flexible fiberglass strands together with rigid carbon filaments. Standard carbon faces (1K, 3K, 12K) are almost entirely stiff — they flex very little at contact, which delivers direct, powerful feedback but also transmits more vibration and is unforgiving on off-centre hits. Fibrix sits between fiberglass and carbon: it's more responsive and precise than pure fiberglass, but it retains some flex at contact so the ball has a slightly longer dwell time on the face. For a diamond racket, that extra dwell time gives you more control over shot direction than a full-carbon alternative would.
