The Adidas Metalbone Team Light 2026 delivers a refined blend of lightness, agility and dependable control — perfect for players who prioritise quick footwork, precise placements and comfortable, fast-paced rallies. Thanks to its lightweight build (around 345–360 g) and balanced frame, the racket feels easy to handle whether you’re volleying close to the net or defending deep in the back.
Its construction combines a soft-core (Soft Performance EVA) with a fibreglass (or lightweight frame) face that offers a forgiving, smooth feel on impact. The result is a racket that doesn’t demand brute strength to perform — you get responsive, controlled shots, good spin potential, and reliable ball output even when you’re not swinging full-force. For players who value comfort, speed, and consistency over brute power, the Team Light 2026 becomes a versatile ally for both casual matches and serious rallies.

The expert's thoughts..
What stands out is how naturally it suits a control-focused game. You don’t need to hit big to get consistent results — the racket rewards precision, placement and stability. Shots come off clean and predictable, which is perfect for players who want to build confidence in their technique. That makes this model especially great for beginners, improving intermediates, and anyone who prefers a lighter racket that puts less stress on the upper body.
If your priority is comfort, manoeuvrability and consistency over brute power, Adidas the Team Light 2026 is a really enjoyable, easy-to-use option that helps you play your best without feeling physically taxed.

Will definitely shop here again.
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!
