Video overview
The adidas Arrow Hit Carbon CTRL 2026 is a control racket for advanced players who rely on precision and consistency from the baseline.
- Shape: Round, so the sweet spot is big and central. Off-centre hits stay in play, giving you control and forgiveness.
- Level: Suits advanced players.
- Face: Carbon, firmer and more direct, turning your swing speed straight into ball speed.
- Balance: Medium, an even feel between quickness in hand and punch on the ball.
- 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 softer than most advanced carbon rackets, delivering reactive feel with less arm shock.
- Value: At advanced level, you are paying for a control-first carbon build that rewards placement over raw power.
- 6K Carbon Surface: A softer carbon weave than standard advanced rackets. You keep the crisp, responsive feel carbon delivers, but with less vibration and a gentler impact on your arm during long rallies or mishits.
- Soft EVA Core: A medium-density foam core that balances control with enough power to accelerate the ball when you commit to a shot. Absorbs shock better than harder cores, adding to the racket's forgiving character.
- Muscle Power System: Frame reinforcement that maintains rigidity across the hitting surface. When you catch the ball towards the edge of the sweet spot, the frame resists twisting, keeping your placement predictable.
- Power Groove Technology: A rail built into the frame profile to increase structural stiffness and transfer more energy into the ball. Adds a degree of power without moving the racket away from its control character.
- Spin Blade Technology: Works with the textured surface to help the strings grip the ball during angled contact. Makes it easier to generate slice and topspin when your swing path calls for it.
- 100% Carbon Frame: A full carbon construction throughout the frame for maximum durability and consistent performance over time. Carbon does not lose stiffness or deform the way composite frames can after heavy use.
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.
