Introducing the Adidas Metalbone CTRL 2026, part of the new 2026 Adidas Padel range and from Ale Galán’s Metalbone family. Built for control-first play, it delivers precise placement, quick handling and easy, comfortable power when you choose to attack.

Key features:

• Round shape, high control: More weight near the grip for faster reactions and cleaner defensive shots.
• Carbon Aluminised 16K face: Firm, solid response for accurate ball striking and confident counters.
• Soft Performance EVA: Low-density core that adds comfort and lively ball exit to balance the firmer face.
• Extra Power Grip: Slightly longer handle for added inertia and stability on contact.
• Low Poly frame geometry: Angular frame and core increase stiffness to turn effort into power.
• Power Groove: Rail in the profile that boosts structural rigidity for a cleaner hit.
• Octagonal Structure: Carbon tubular design reduces torsion for more precise, repeatable shots.
• Spin Blade Decal: Face texture that helps you grip the ball and add controlled spin.

Adidas Weight and Balance System:

Fine-tune up to 11.2 g with Adidas’ signature Weight and Balance System. Shift the weight distribution to adjust balance and sweet-spot feel, then dial in swing weight and stability so the racket plays exactly how you like. Simple, effective and personal.

Who it is for:

• Players who value control, placement and fast handling
• Advanced and frequent players who want a firmer, precise face with comfortable impact
• Counter-attackers and defenders who like quick reactions, then finish with accuracy
