adidas padel rackets: which one is right for you?

adidas padel is built around the Metalbone, Ale Galán's racket. The Metalbones are diamonds: head-heavy and built to finish points, with plenty of free power on the smash. The Match Light is a lighter teardrop if you'd rather start with control.

• You're starting out: the Match Light 2026 (€74.95) is a light, easy-to-swing teardrop and the most forgiving adidas we stock.
• You want the flagship: the Metalbone 2026 (€349.95) is Galán's own frame, with a 16K aluminised carbon face, octagonal carbon frame and adidas's Weight & Balance System, which lets you add up to 11.2g and move the balance. The stiffest, most powerful adidas in the range, and a racket you'll keep growing into.
• You want Metalbone power with a little more give: the Metalbone Carbon 2026 (€229.95) has the same diamond shape and high balance, with a 6K aluminised carbon face that's easier to play with. For most club players, this is the Metalbone we'd point you to.
• You want the softest Metalbone: the Metalbone Team 2026 (€179.95) has a fibreglass face over a carbon frame. Still a head-forward diamond, but the most comfortable of the three.
• You want a prior-season saving: the Metalbone Carbon 3.4 2025 (€199.95) is last season's Carbon, and the Adipower 3.2 2023 (€119.95) is an oversize diamond with a 15K aluminised carbon face.

adidas padel racket FAQs

Which Metalbone should I buy? For most club players, the Metalbone Carbon. The full Metalbone is the stiffest and most powerful, the one to grow into if you play several times a week; the Team is the softest and easiest on the arm. See all three Metalbones side by side.

What is the Weight & Balance System? It's adidas's adjustable weighting on the Metalbone 2026: you can add up to 11.2g and shift the balance towards the head or the handle as your game changes.

Is a diamond racket right for me? If you love to attack, yes. A diamond gives you free power on the smash from day one, and the control comes as your timing settles. If your game is built on defence and placement, a round or teardrop frame from our beginner rackets will feel more natural.
