Video overview
The adidas Metalbone Team 2026 is a power racket for intermediate players who want easy overhead punch with more comfort than a typical diamond-shape frame.
- Shape: Diamond, with the mass and sweet spot high in the head for maximum power in attack.
- Level: Suits intermediate players.
- Face: Fiberglass, softer and more comfortable on impact. The right choice while you develop.
- 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 octagonal frame structure adds stiffness for power while the fiberglass surface and soft core keep impact feel forgiving, making this the softest racket in the Metalbone range.
- Value: A step up from all-round rackets when your attacking game is developing, but still too much racket if you are working on basic control.
- Diamond shape with high balance: The sweet spot sits at the top of the head, adding momentum to overheads and volleys. Head-heavy balance increases power on full-extension shots but requires confident timing and placement.
- Octagonal frame structure (Low Poly): The polyhedral frame design increases torsional stiffness, giving you more power transfer without adding weight. The geometry also strengthens the frame against off-centre impacts.
- Fiberglass surface and soft core: Fiberglass absorbs vibration better than carbon, and the soft core further dampens impact shock. This combination delivers the most comfortable feel in the Metalbone line, reducing arm fatigue over long sessions.
- Sandpaper surface with Spin Blade technology: The rough texture grips the ball on contact, letting you shape slices and topspin more aggressively. Spin Blade edge design adds bite to angled volleys and drop shots.
- Systematic hole pattern: Hole placement is engineered to spread impact stress across the face, improving durability where power rackets typically crack first.
- Structural reinforcement: Additional frame layup at high-stress points extends the racket's working life under the harder hits a diamond shape encourages.

Everything listed as in stock is sitting in our warehouse ready to go, so there's no waiting on suppliers. 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.
