Adidas Metalbone 3.5 2026 Review

Sven Boele tests the Adidas Metalbone 3.5 2026: a very powerful padel racket with a top-heavy balance, designed for players who want to dominate their attacking game. Despite its relatively low weight, you generate a surprising amount of power, especially with smashes and volleys.
In defensive situations, the racket isn't the easiest to maneuver and can sometimes feel a bit slow, requiring an active and technically strong player. The racket has a soft to medium touch, which provides extra comfort and feel on the ball. The medium sweet spot rewards clean shots with plenty of speed and impact.
The Adidas Metalbone 3.5 2026 is therefore an excellent choice for players who are looking for maximum power, a comfortable feel and are not afraid to compromise on agility in defense.
