Video overview
The adidas Arrow Hit CTRL 2026 is a control racket for advanced players who want precision and consistency from the back of the court.
- 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: 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: Nine-gram adjustable weights on each side let you fine-tune the balance point to match how you play.
- Value: Below advanced level, the head-heavy balance and firm carbon face would make it harder to time the ball cleanly.
- ASC Signature Carbon: A high-performance carbon layup that gives you a crisp, responsive feel off the face while keeping vibration manageable. The ball exits cleanly on volleys and drives without the harshness of harder carbon composites.
- Intelligent Balance System: Nine-gram removable weights on either side of the frame let you shift the balance point. Move them toward the head for more mass behind the ball, or closer to the handle for faster reactions at net.
- Soft EVA Core: A medium-density EVA foam core that absorbs shock on off-centre hits and gives you a controlled feel. Softer than the firmest competition cores, so you get comfort without losing ball speed on attacking shots.
- Muscle Power System: Reinforced frame structure that keeps the racket stable when you miss the sweet spot. Off-centre hits lose less control and the frame returns to shape faster, especially useful during fast exchanges.
- Power Groove Technology: A rail insert running through the frame profile increases structural rigidity. This adds a small boost to power output and stops the frame flexing too much on hard drives.
- Spin Blade & Textured Surface: The rough carbon face and strategically placed hole pattern help you grip the ball for slice and topspin. Easier to shape your shots when you are trying to move an opponent or drop short.
- 100% Carbon Frame: A full carbon construction from handle to head gives you maximum durability and stiffness. The frame holds its shape under repeated impact and will last longer than hybrid fibre builds.
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.
