Adidas Metalbone Carbon Ctrl 2026 Padel Racket

The Adidas Metalbone Carbon Ctrl 2026 is the control side of the Metalbone Carbon. It keeps the 6K carbon faces, EVA Soft Performance core and Octagonal Structure frame, but switches to a round shape for experienced players who build points with precision.

Who is the Metalbone Carbon Ctrl 2026 for?

For experienced players who prefer to place the ball, defend well and wait for their moment. The round shape makes control easier from the back and at the net. If you want more hitting power, the diamond Metalbone Carbon is the option; if you want 16K carbon faces and adjustable weight, look at the Metalbone Ctrl.

Strengths

• Control: a round shape designed for placement and defence.
• 6K carbon: carbon faces with an EVA Soft Performance core and an Octagonal Structure frame.
• Spin: the rough Spin Blade Decal surface helps you slice and top the ball.

Things to consider

• At 360–375 g it is not a light racket; for easier handling, the Metalbone Team Light sits at 345–360 g.
• It has no adjustable weight system.
