The adidas Metalbone Team Padel Racket 2026 brings the explosive DNA of the Metalbone range to a more accessible, team-friendly format. Designed for competitive club players and improving attackers, this racket delivers powerful performance, enhanced spin, and a comfortable feel that works across long matches and regular training sessions.
With its diamond-shaped head and head-heavy balance, the Metalbone Team 2026 is built to reward aggressive play. It excels on overheads, smashes, and fast volleys, making it ideal for players who like to dictate points and finish with authority.
The racket’s Low Poly frame geometry increases stiffness and energy transfer, helping generate easy power on attacking shots. This is supported by the Extra Power Grip, whose extended length increases inertia, giving additional leverage on smashes and high-impact strokes.
The Spin Blade Gritt rough surface enhances grip on the ball, allowing you to generate heavier spin on viboras, bandejas, and kick smashes. This added spin improves control when playing aggressive shots at speed.
A Soft Performance EVA core works in harmony with the fibreglass construction to deliver excellent ball output and reduced vibration. The fibreglass face provides a softer touch compared to full carbon models, offering greater comfort and forgiveness while maintaining impressive power.
The Octagonal Structure carbon tubular frame reduces torsion at impact, improving stability and shot accuracy. This ensures the racket remains solid and predictable during fast exchanges at the net and heavy baseline rallies.
