Adidas Metalbone 2026 Padel Racket
Ale Galán's signature 2026 racket: diamond shape, head-heavy, 16K Carbon Aluminized face, customisable Weight & Balance system. A pro-tier power frame.
4.3 / 5
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Highly recommended
Strengths
- Pro-validated frame - three of the four Riyadh P1 2026 finalists (Galán, Coello, Chingotto) play stiff diamond rackets in this class
- Weight & Balance system lets you fine-tune up to 11.2 g and shift the balance point match-by-match without buying a new racket
- Carbon Aluminized 16K face plus Soft Performance EVA delivers explosive smash and bandeja output
Watch outs
- Stiff frame is an arm-killer for sub-4.5 players - repeat off-centre contact compounds elbow stress over a session
- Premium £350 RRP at adidas UK; specialist retailers occasionally discount but the line tops out near the most expensive frames on the UK market
- Head-heavy balance + small high sweet spot punishes any technique gap
£350
