Video overview
The adidas Arrow Hit 2026 is a maximum-power racket for advanced attacking players who want aggressive smashes and spin from a head-heavy diamond.
- Shape: Diamond, with the mass and sweet spot high in the head for maximum power in attack.
- Level: Suits advanced players.
- Face: Carbon, firmer and more direct, turning your swing speed straight into ball speed.
- Balance: High, head heavy, putting real weight behind your smashes.
- Weight: 365-380g, a sturdier build with more stability and weight behind the ball.
- Surface: A rough finish grips the ball, making slice and topspin easier to add.
- Standout: The Intelligent Balance System lets you add or remove 9-gram weights on each side to shift the balance point to suit your play style.
- Value: Below advanced level, you would be paying for a ceiling you cannot reach yet—the high balance and diamond shape demand clean technique to control.
- Diamond Shape & High Balance: Weight is pushed into the head for maximum leverage on smashes and overheads. You swing harder with less effort, but the trade is a smaller sweet spot and less forgiveness on mishits—this is a racket that rewards clean striking.
- ASC Signature Carbon: adidas's high-performance carbon face with the logo woven into the pattern. It delivers a crisp, responsive ball exit and good power transfer without being overly harsh on the arm, striking a balance between punch and comfort.
- Intelligent Balance System: Two removable 9-gram weights let you customise the balance point. Leave them in for full head-heavy power, take them out to lighten the swing and improve manoeuvrability. A genuine tuning option, not just marketing.
- Spin Blade Technology: Textured surface combined with a systematically placed hole pattern to help the ball grip and release with more spin. Makes slices, top-spin drives and kick serves easier to shape when your technique is already there.
- Muscle Power System: Reinforced frame structure that holds stability when you hit off-centre. You still lose some control on mishits—physics does not disappear—but the frame twists less than it would otherwise, keeping more balls in play.
- Power Groove Technology: A rail inserted into the racket profile increases structural rigidity and enhances power transfer. Works with the diamond shape to deliver maximum energy on overhead shots and hard drives.
- 100% Carbon Frame: Full carbon construction for maximum durability and structural integrity. The frame holds its shape through heavy play and high-impact shots, season after season.
- Soft Performance Core: The foam core absorbs some of the shock on impact, adding comfort without sacrificing too much response. Helps keep the racket arm-friendly even at this power level.
The adidas Metalbone Carbon CTRL is perfect for intermediate players looking to push to the advanced level, the mix of power and control is supreme

Orders placed after the cut-off, on weekends or on bank holidays are dispatched the next working day.

How do I choose the right padel racket for my skill level and playing style?
Start with your level, then your style. As a rough guide: round rackets have a big sweet spot and maximum control, ideal for beginners and defensive players. Teardrop rackets balance power and control, perfect for most intermediate players. Diamond rackets are power-focused with a smaller sweet spot, best for advanced, aggressive players. The quickest way to narrow it down is our Racket Quiz, answer a few questions about your level, style and budget and it'll recommend the best options currently in stock. You can also check out our YouTube channel where we review and test rackets on court, or just message us on WhatsApp and we'll recommend one personally.
