In stock
The Adidas Metalbone Carbon 2026 is a razor-sharp padel racket built for players who want a confident mix of power, control and versatility. It keeps the signature aggressive spirit of the Metalbone line — diamond head shape, head-heavy (or slightly high-balance) design and carbon construction — but the “Carbon” treatment adds a bit of extra finesse: tight carbon fibre face and a well-engineered foam core that soften the impact just enough to give reliable touch and control alongside strong output.
On court, this racket feels responsive and solid. Drives and smashes carry real punch, but when you need to soften the ball or place a volley, it doesn’t slam — it has a balance between hardness and subtlety that rewards players who adjust their swing. The texture and carbon surface give you decent spin potential, making it a weapon on serves, bandejas or smart angled shots. Overall it’s a racket that gives you flexibility: you can power through aggressive rallies, but also rely on control and touch when the rally demands precision.
It won’t be the most forgiving racket if your timing is off or you catch the ball off-centre — that stiffness brings out precision, but also sensitivity. Yet for intermediate to advanced players who have a reasonably stable stroke and like to mix power with control, the Adidas Metalbone Carbon 2026 is a serious all-rounder that can sharpen your game on multiple fronts.

The expert's thoughts..
What I like most is its balance between aggression and precision. It doesn’t force you to go full throttle all the time; you can soften your shots, manage volleys, or work angles without losing too much control. Yes — if your timing’s off, it can feel a bit unforgiving. But if you’re happy to take the time to place the ball, mix spin or finesse with power, this racket becomes a very flexible tool. For an intermediate or advanced player who wants one racket to do many jobs — attack, defend, control, surprise — this Adidas Metalbone Carbon 2026 delivers.

Thanks again!
The only thing I would say is that they told me on WhatsApp they would give me some complimentary grips with my racket order but these never came with the racket which was a bit disappointing. But I’m thrilled with everything else so 5*s from me!
EDIT
Warren very kindly sent the grips out to me asap and they arrived today. VERY impressed with NinePadel and their customer service. I highly recommend them!
