The adidas Metalbone Carbon 2026 padel racket is currently both the most demanding and powerful racket made by adidas. This diamond-shaped racket sports a 360-375 gram weight range, making it by far the heaviest stock racket adidas offers. Make no mistake, the Metalbone Carbon 2026 is not for the faint of heart, as its inherent power rewards more advanced technical proficiency in the game of padel. But for those able to wield it, the Metalbone Carbon 2026 is devastating for blasting smashes past your opponents and outside of the box. Additionally, adidas has markedly increased the length of their handle with their Extra Power Grip, which adds more leverage and reach for length-based power. The hitting surface is made from a 6K Carbon makeup, which offers excellent flex for shaping shots and absorbing heavier pace. To help with spin production, the Spin Blade Decals grip the ball easily and consistently for cutting under, over, or across your shots. Elsewhere, the Soft Performance rubber inside the racket is made from a low density EVA that boosts comfort substantially, helping to make these diamond rackets much more accessible. Though its power is demanding beyond all else, the upsides are some of the fastest shots seen in the game. For the utmost power available from adidas, the Metalbone Carbon 2026 is the way to go.

Technologies:

• Soft Performance: Low-density EVA rubber that provides excellent ball output and comfort in the game. Rackets with this type of rubber are identified by the black cap.

• Carbon 6K: Power and rigidity, along with exceptional durability. It provides greater power in quick shots like the smash and offers better control because, being stiffer, the material doesn't absorb the force we apply and eliminates the spring effect. As it is less flexible, the ball exit in slow shots is lower.

• Octagonal Structure: Exclusive octagonal design of the carbon tube. The 8 edges stiffen the structure making the METALBONE racket ideal for the most aggressive players.

• Power Extra Grip: The longer grip transfers more mass towards the head of the racket and shifts the sweet spot towards the top. This increases inertia and favors power in the shots.

• Low Poly: Exclusive METALBONE. The polyhedral design of the frame and the heart of the racket provide greater rigidity and power in the strokes.

• Spin Blade Decal: This relief helps improve the sensation of control and increase the amount of spin we can impart to the ball.

• Smart Holes Curve: This hole arrangement is specially designed to favor the generation of spin in all types of shots.

• Structural Reinforcement: Perimeter reinforcements that allow for greater resistance to the high torsions the racket must withstand during play.
