adidas Metalbone 2026 – Power and control at the absolute highest level
adidas Metalbone 2026 is a high-performance padel racket developed for advanced and competitive players with an offensive playing style. Designed in collaboration with Ale Galán, this racket represents the pinnacle of power, stability, and adjustability.
The diamond-shaped design creates a high balance point that maximizes power in smashes and aggressive shots, while the stable construction ensures precision even at high speed. Thanks to the innovative Weight & Balance System, players can fine-tune weight and balance to optimize the racket according to personal playing style and match conditions.
The Carbon Aluminized 16K hitting surface delivers a stiff and responsive feel with explosive ball output and excellent durability. The reinforced frame, featuring technologies such as Octagonal Structure and Power Groove, reduces torsional flex and provides added stability on off-center hits.
The soft Soft Performance EVA core enhances comfort and control without sacrificing power, while the textured surface improves grip on the ball for increased spin and shot variation. The extended grip also provides better leverage and stability for two-handed shots.
