Adidas Metalbone Team Light 3.5 2026
Is it for you?
Advanced players who want a forgiving, controlled racket with a big sweet spot.
You want maximum smash power. A diamond-shaped racket gives you more pace overhead.
See power racketsThe adidas Metalbone Team Light 2026 is the racket perfect for advanced players in evolution who are looking to improve their game with a light, manageable, and technically balanced tool. Its reduced weight, between 345 and 360 grams, significantly improves maneuverability, allowing for faster reaction speed in defense, agile transitions to the net, and less fatigue in long matches or intense training sessions.
Designed in a round format and with medium balance (even), this racket offers optimal control and a larger and centered sweet spot, which facilitates a clean and more forgiving strike. The structure is reinforced with the Octagonal Structure, an exclusive design with an octagonal profile that provides rigidity and reduces torsion in demanding impacts. This structural firmness is enhanced by the Low Polydesign, with angular shapes in the frame that improve stability without increasing weight.
The combination of fiberglass on the faces and EVA rubber Soft Performance in the core provides a comfortable touch, controlled ball output, and excellent vibration absorption. This configuration is ideal for players who seek to advance with a racket that accompanies their technique without demanding too much strength or sacrificing precision.
In terms of effects, the Spin Blade Gritt —a rough surface— allows for easier spin generation, ideal for tactical control plays and pressure. Additionally, the Smart Holes Curve, with its curved distribution of holes, contributes to greater performance of the hitting surface, favoring more stable trajectories.
As in the rest of the Metalbone 2026 range, this racket includes premium details such as the Metalbone Protector Tape and the new adjustable rope-type cord with padded wristband, which improves grip and comfort throughout the game.

Parallel import
Our products are parallel imports. We import them into South Africa ourselves instead of buying them through each brand's official South African distributor. Every product is 100% genuine and brand new: parallel import describes how a product reached South Africa, not what it is.

Warranty period
The warranty period follows each brand's own policy, and you always keep the six-month warranty on defective goods that the Consumer Protection Act gives you. How long a claim takes to process depends on the brand.
What is covered
Manufacturing defects, up to the amount you paid for the product. It does not cover damage caused by improper use, mishandling or accidents (for example hitting the glass, wall or floor), or normal wear and tear.
