Why choose Adidas Metalbone?

Adidas Metalbone rackets are built with smart technologies that have a real, noticeable impact on your performance. Below, we explain each innovation and how it affects your game on court.

Weight & Balance System

What is it?
This system allows you to adjust the weight and balance point of the racket using removable screw weights placed in the bridge.

What does it do for you?

• More weight in the head means more power on smashes and volleys
• Centralized weight allows quicker reactions and better control
• You can fine-tune your racket to match your game or match conditions

Octagonal Structure

What is it?
The frame features an octagonal (eight-sided) tube shape rather than a round one, which increases torsional stiffness.

What does it do for you?

• The racket remains stable at impact
• You get a more solid, responsive feel
• You keep more control, even on off-center hits

Carbon Aluminized 2 to 1

What is it?
A combination of stiff carbon fibers with a thin aluminum coating over the hitting surface.

What does it do for you?

• Provides a solid, crisp feel on contact
• Adds power during attacking play
• Improves precision, especially in fast-paced rallies
• Highly durable and resistant to wear

Carbon 6K

What is it?
A softer woven carbon fiber without aluminum coating, used in specific Metalbone Carbon models.

What does it do for you?

• More touch and feedback on contact
• Slightly more flexible for technical, finesse-based players
• Still rigid enough to deliver controlled power

Fiberglass

What is it?
A softer, more flexible surface material compared to carbon.

What does it do for you?

• Adds comfort to every stroke
• More forgiving on off-center shots
• Ideal for beginners or players prone to arm or shoulder strain

EVA Soft Performance

What is it?
A soft foam core used in nearly all Metalbone rackets (except HRD+), known for its shock absorption.

What does it do for you?

• Offers a smooth, cushioned feel
• Absorbs vibrations during defensive shots
• Provides energy return on slower balls like lobs and drop shots

EVA High Memory

What is it?
A firmer foam core used in the HRD+ model.

What does it do for you?

• Gives a more explosive ball exit
• Less cushioning but more direct power
• Ideal for aggressive, hard-hitting players
