Video overview
The adidas Arrow Hit Carbon 2026 is a diamond-shaped power racket built for advanced players who attack from all areas of the court.
- 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 6K carbon surface is intentionally softer than the standard Arrow Hit, reducing arm harshness while keeping power output high.
- Value: Below advanced level, the high balance and head-heavy weight would make control harder than a teardrop or hybrid shape, and you would be paying for ceiling you cannot reach yet.
- Diamond shape with high balance: Weight sits in the head, maximising power on smashes and aggressive drives. You need fast hands and clean timing to control it, but when you catch it right, the ball accelerates off the face.
- 6K carbon face with ASC signature weave: Softer than typical carbon weaves, giving a medium feel that is kinder to the arm while keeping a crisp, powerful ball exit. The adidas logo is woven into the carbon pattern itself.
- Soft EVA core: Cushions impact and gives the racket its medium feel, so you have control at the net and the ball still jumps off the face when you swing through your shots.
- Muscle Power System: Reinforces the frame structure, helping the racket hold stability when you miss the sweet spot. You lose less control on off-centre hits and the frame stays rigid through contact.
- Spin Blade Technology and textured surface: Rough face texture grips the ball, making it easier to load topspin or slice into your shots. Systematically placed holes amplify the spin effect when you brush the ball.
- 100% carbon frame: Maximum durability and stiffness. The frame will not twist or flex under hard hits, keeping power transfer efficient and the racket reliable over time.
- Longer handle: Gives extra leverage on overhead smashes, adding power without needing a longer swing. Also suits two-handed backhands if that is part of your game.
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.
