adidas Metalbone HRD+ 2026 Padel Racket
Power only the strongest can wield
The Metalbone HRD+ 2026 is a diamond-shaped yet fully customizable racket. Its base range weight-wise falls from 345 - 360 grams. This head-heavy racket is one of the more powerful experiences out there, and the addition of the unique customizing system allows for players to create something that suits their own individual game. Within this system is an ability to let players fashion a custom racket for either more power or more maneuverability. The hitting surface is made from a Carbon Aluminized 16k, which is stiffer than standard carbon fiber to facilitate increased power through the ball on all of one's shots. Around the perimeter of the racket is adidas' Power Groove, which increases structural rigidity around the perimeter 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. 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 these diamond rackets much more accessible. This Metalbone HRD+ is one of the most powerful options within adidas' lineup, which is most practical on attacking shots like overheads, smashes, viboras and pop-outs. Our more powerful players loved the additional access to pace they were able to generate with this racket, finding it most helpful for injecting pace into a slower rally. Although the racket's internals and externals ask a lot of the user, the upsides are some of the most powerful in the game. Advanced left-side players who like adding emphasis to their shots will likely enjoy what this racket can do.

Technologies:
High Memory: High-density EVA rubber. Increases power in high-speed shots. Suitable for players with higher technical level. Rackets with this rubber are identified by the red 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.
