Metalbone Team 2026
Our Verdict
The sweet spot of the Metalbone range — advanced enough to grow into, accessible enough to play with now. The rough fibreglass face generates impressive spin, and the Soft Performance EVA core keeps it comfortable despite the diamond shape.

About This Racket
The Fibreglass (rough) weave is what sets this apart from standard carbon rackets. The face snaps back faster on contact, translating to more ball speed on volleys and a crisper feel on flat shots.
Adidas's Soft Performance EVA strikes a balance between power and comfort. Firmer than soft EVA found in beginner rackets for better energy return, but not so stiff that it jars your arm.
Diamond with a high balance point at around 275mm. Aggressive shape that maximises power on smashes and overhead shots.
Ambitious intermediate players ready for a serious racket. If you play twice a week and want something that will take you to advanced level, this is it.
