Adidas Metalbone racket review
The Adidas Metalbone racket is one of the best selling padel rackets in the world. Padel players love it for its power, and it has been a staple of the Adidas range for years.
Weight : 345g-360g, adjustable position of weights.
It generates a lot of power. Soft, medium touch. In defence works well once we get used to the weight. Medium Sweet spot. Nice racket. Easy to manoeuvre. Best for advanced players who like to use a lot of power.
It has longer handle than the previous versions and more diamond shape. Made from Carbon, durable. Provides good precision to the shots. The sweet spot is big which provides a good balance of power and finesse.
Who Is the Metalbone For?
The Metalbone is aimed at players who want power. With a more diamond shape and a carbon build, it rewards a confident swing, so it suits advanced players who already hit with control. However, it is less forgiving than a round racket, which means beginners may find it demanding.
