Adidas Match Black/Orange 2026 specifications

Who is the Match Black/Orange 2026 for?

For players who are starting out and want a simple, soft teardrop racket that spreads the sweet spot between the centre and the upper area. If you prefer a lighter racket, the Match Light drops to 345–360 g; for maximum control, the Drive Blue is round with a low balance.

Strengths

• Teardrop shape: a middle ground between control and reach.
• Comfortable: a soft feel from fibreglass and EVA Soft Performance.
• Made for learning: a simple, easy-to-use build.

Things to consider

• Smooth surface: it generates less spin than a rough racket.
• At 360–375 g, players wanting lightness have the Match Light.
