adidas Metalbone CTRL 2026 – maximum control with tour-level feel
adidas Metalbone CTRL 2026 is a premium padel racket developed for advanced players who want to control the game with precision, stability and reliable ball control. The model is designed for players who build points methodically and want to place the ball accurately in both defence and attack.
The racket features a round shape with a low balance, creating a large sweet spot and making it very forgiving on off-centre hits. The construction delivers excellent control in returns, blocks and volleys while also providing stability in slower, tactical build-up play.
The carbon fibre hitting surface provides a solid and precise ball response, while the core is designed to offer a good balance of comfort and playable speed. The stiff frame enhances stability on impact and reduces twisting on harder shots, giving a secure and consistent feel throughout play.
The Metalbone series is known for its premium construction and vibration dampening, making the racket comfortable even during long matches. The result is a top-class control racket for players who want to dominate the game with precision rather than pure power.
