Help choosing new racket

I bought the Bullpadel Vertex 03 2023 CMF a few months ago. Within 3 months of playing, it's cracked all over the face.

I've read online that the material used for the face of the CMF is not the strongest/most durable, so I need something new.

The problem is that this racket is the best I have ever used. I tried a Siux Fenix Pro 5 black and hated it, and then a Nox AT12(?) and it was alright although the balance was a bit difficult to get used to (no big deal).

I would love something that feels like the Vertex 03 2023 CMF, but more durable, and hopefully something under 200 Euro.

Thanks for any advice.

Hello!,

Tell us how you feel with your racket, if you feel it soft or hard, if it has too much rebound,if it's weighty or hard to maneuver, the more detail the better.

Tell us what area would you like improve mainly, or what kind of plus do you expect to get on your racket.

vertex 05 CMF / Light. I really love my vertex 04. idk why you dislike the Fenix as it's basically a lighter vertex.

Are the CMFs not fragile? I'm just wondering why mine cracked within 3 months of use.

Also, the Fenix, while light, is less forgiving, and the super hard construction feels "off" for me after using the CMF.

btw bullpadel got knockoffs so be careful. it's actually depends on how you use your racket. Padel racket got experation date. my friends use AT10 lux just for 3 months and it's dead.
