Who is the Metalbone Carbon CTRL 3.4 for?
It is a good choice if you build points with lobs, bandejas and placement and want the Metalbone character with more margin for error. If you want to smash more, the Metalbone Carbon 3.4 has the same materials in a high-balance diamond; if you want a control racket with adjustable weights, look at the Metalbone CTRL 3.4.
Strengths
- Control: round shape and medium balance, a manoeuvrable combination in defence.
- EVA Soft Performance core: the soft core chosen for this control version.
- Spin: a rough Spin Blade Decal surface.
Things to consider
- At 360–375 g it is not among the lightest: if you want more manoeuvrability, the Metalbone CTRL 3.4 (345–360 g) may suit you better.
- It offers less momentum on smashes than a high-balance diamond.
