The Metalbone Ctrl 3.4 from adidas is one of the most unique round-shaped rackets out there, largely due to its customizable weight system. This control-oriented racket sports a 345-360 gram weight range, and is evenly balanced for good maneuverability and stability. Unique to adidas' construction here is the ability to fully modulate the racket to your individual needs with the custom weight plates that can add up to 5.6 grams apiece on each section of attachment. These rackets come with custom weight plates that are made up of weighted plates, washers, and screws that users can add to their racket at various points to make them more powerful (weight at top) or more maneuverable (weight at bottom sides). Around the perimeter is adidas' Power Groove, which increases structural rigidity around the edge of the racket, making heavy shots feel even more powerful. Additionally, adidas has markedly increased the length of their handle with their Extra Power Grip, which adds more leverage and reach for length-based power, which helps round out this otherwise control-focused experience. The hitting surface is made from an Aluminised 16K Carbon, which is a good best-of-both-worlds approach between a more harsh and higher K-count carbon, and a lower, more flexible K-count makeup. To help with spin production, the Spin Blade Decals grip the ball easily and consistently for cutting under, over, or across your shots. Elsewhere, the Soft Performance rubber inside the racket is made from a low density EVA that boosts comfort substantially, helping to make this frame more user-friendly. Our team at Padel Warehouse loved getting this racket dialed to their preferred characteristics, reveling in its ability to be more powerful if desired or even more maneuverable with a lower balance. For those craving control and customizability, the Metalbone Ctrl 3.4 proves hard to top.

Technologies:

• Soft Performance: Low-density EVA rubber that provides excellent ball output and comfort in the game. Rackets with this type of rubber are identified by the black cap.

• Carbon Aluminized 16K: High rigidity and durability taken to the maximum power. The result of incorporating aluminum into the carbon rubber is a harder touch, ideal for hard-hitting players who prefer this solidity to harness all the force of their arm.

• Octagonal Structure: Exclusive octagonal design of the carbon tube. The 8 edges stiffen the structure making the METALBONE racket ideal for the most aggressive players.

• Power Groove: A rail inserted into the edge of the racket increases structural rigidity in the head area and enhances power in the most aggressive strokes.

• Power Extra Grip: The longer grip transfers more mass towards the head of the racket and shifts the sweet spot towards the top. This increases inertia and favors power in the shots.

• Low Poly: Exclusive METALBONE. The polyhedral design of the frame and the heart of the racket provide greater rigidity and power in the strokes.

• Spin Blade Decal: This relief helps improve the sensation of control and increase the amount of spin we can impart to the ball.

• Smart Holes Curve: This hole arrangement is specially designed to favor the generation of spin in all types of shots.

• Structural Reinforcement: Perimeter reinforcements that allow for greater resistance to the high torsions the racket must withstand during play.

• Weight & Balance System: By placing the weights on the upper part of the racket, the balance will shift towards the top and we will favor attacking shots. By placing the weights closest to the grip, we will lower the balance, thereby increasing control. If we remove all the weights, we'll have a lighter racket. Each racket includes an Allen key keychain to easily perform the operation of placing and removing weights.
  FOR THE METALBONE The system consists of two plates (1.8 g each), and on each plate, you can mount 2 washers (0.6 g each) and 2 screws (1.3 g each). This allows for modifying the weight of the racket by a total of 11.2 g.
