adidas and padel
adidas has made a name for itself among the top brands in padel, with a range of rackets designed for everyone at all levels. Its flagship range, the Metalbone, is associated with the Spaniard Ale Galán, one of the best players in the world, known for the power of his smash. It comes in several versions, from the very stiff competition model to more forgiving options, so every player can find the feel that suits them.

All the rackets are gathered on the rackets page.
The Metalbone versions
The power versions of the Metalbone, shaped like a diamond and with a high sweet spot, concentrate the weight towards the head to give a punch to the smash: they are aimed at advanced and aggressive players. The CTRL versions, for control, with a lower sweet spot, are more maneuverable and forgive off-center hits better. The HRD versions, with harder foam, give more precision to powerful hitters. The lightweight versions are easy on the arm and suitable for players who are progressing.
Choosing your racket
You choose your racket based on your level and your position. The right-hand player, who builds the point and defends, prioritizes control; the left-hand player, who finishes with a smash, the power. A beginner should avoid rackets that are too stiff or too heavy at the head, which can stress the elbow. If possible, try several models before choosing, and protect the frame with a protective tape. Store your racket in a cover, away from heat.

Frequently asked questions
Which player is associated with adidas' flagship range?
The Metalbone is associated with the Spaniard Ale Galán, one of the best players in the world, known for the power of his smash. Its versions range from competition models to more forgiving variations.
Round, teardrop or diamond racket?
The round shape centers the sweet spot for impact and forgives mistakes, making it ideal for beginners. The diamond shape shifts the weight upward for power; the teardrop offers a compromise.
What weight of padel racket to choose?
A light racket is easy to handle and easy on the elbow, ideal for starting out or getting back into the game. A heavier racket provides more power but requires more strength and technique.
EVA core or soft foam, what's the difference?
The EVA core, being harder, offers control and power for advanced players. Soft foam provides more ball output and comfort for beginners, at the expense of a bit of precision.
How to protect your padel racket?
Apply an adhesive frame protector to limit shocks against windows and the floor. Store it in a cover, away from heat, which can weaken the frame and core.
