Which one suits you

Pick the Hack 05 if

You want more weight behind the ball: the balance is higher, towards the head.
You swing fast and want a crisper response: the core is firmer.

Pick the Vertex 05 if

You want it quicker in the hand and easier on the arm: the weight sits lower.
You want a bit more give: the core is medium rather than hard, so it is less harsh on off-centre hits.

Not a factor, because they are the same on both: price (within a few pounds today), shape (both diamond), weight, level (both professional).
