Bullpadel Vertex 05 W or Bullpadel Ionic Light 26

Bullpadel Vertex 05 W or Bullpadel Ionic Light 26

I am playing padel for around 1 year, with no racket sport background, but I have been hitting the gym for 8 years. I think I am an intermediate player, around 2.0 - 2.5, playing on the left side. I am currently using a Metalbone Carbon Control 2025 and it has been my first racket. My weaknesses are that when I have a bad teammate, it's hard for me to finish the points and be more decisive. I feel like I win most of my points with a precise ball placement and very little with smashes or volleys.

What I am currently looking for is a racket which offers me some power but also control. What I like about my racket is that it does not have too much ball output when blocking overheads, I rarely hit the backglass when I block. I don't want it to be very hard, I have tried a Bullpadel Hack Hybrid and after playing a couple of games my elbow started to hurt when I hit hard balls.

I was interested in Bullpadel Vertex 05 W because on one side it looks like it is easy to maneuver because of the small weight and will offer me more power due to its shape. Other options would be Bullpadel Vertex Hybrid or Bullpadel Ionic Light 26.

I am curios if anyone used any of these rackets and can provide some feedback about them. Thanks!

How to win when lanes are losing?

What is the macro play in this situation? In my elo, gold 2 atm, at least 2/3 lanes already gave 2 kills until I finish my first clear. By the time I want start my second clear, most of them are already losing. I try to ping my top or my bot to be careful of jungler gank by tracking jungler position. They don t listen to ping. Now they die. I play mostly Shyvana and Zac. With Shyvanna I mostly gank after level 6, but I don't pretty know what to do when objective time comes. I try to gank a lane when timer is 0:45, so that we can then go drake. I manage to land a sucessful gank, getting numbers advantage or killing enemy jungler, but my laners are low and they decide to recall. I decide to start drake, then enemies are coming and killing me.

Most of the games I feel I have little to no impact. On Shyvana I prefer to farm as hard as I can and look for ganks and opportunities as soon as I have my ulti up. On Zac it's different, I prefer to gank more. Either way, I feel like I either hard win a game where I can just fully dominate and win, or just lose and do nothing. It's never equal.
