Adidas Metalbone Hrd+ 2026 Ale Galán – maximum power in attack

Adidas Metalbone Hrd+ 2026 Ale Galán is a flagship option among Adidas padel rackets for players who rely on explosive attack, maximum power and a decisive, aggressive style. Designed together with Ale Galán, it delivers exceptional acceleration, strong ball output and structural stability thanks to 15K carbon, a high balance, the Octagonal Structure and the firm EVA High Memory foam. This 2026 model introduces an upgraded adjustable rope-cord wrist strap, an extended 13.5 cm grip and an improved Low Poly heart for added rigidity in the central area.

The Metalbone Hrd+ 2026

Preserves the aggressive character of its predecessor. The high balance produces strong inertia and allows for powerful aerial shots. The firm EVA High Memory foam offers a reactive feeling: even a short motion can produce deep, fast shots. The 15K carbon surface with 2/1 fiber orientation ensures a crisp and stable hit, while the 3D Spin Blade texture enhances spin control. With the Weight & Balance System, players can add up to 12 g to fine-tune the racket’s weight and behaviour, choosing between more maneuverability or maximum force.

Specifications

• Shape: diamond shape – explosive attack.
• Weight: 345–360 g without screws (heavy; +12 g adjustable).
• Balance: high – added inertia for finishing shots.
• Materials:
• Frame – Structural Reinforcement.
• Surface – 15K carbon aluminized.
• Core – EVA High Memory foam.
• Thickness: 38 mm.
• Details: 13.5 cm grip, rope-cord strap, Spin Blade texture, 3D surface.

Technologies & Features

• Weight & Balance System – up to 12 g of adjustability.
• Octagonal Structure – stability & stiffness in fast exchanges.
• Low Poly Heart – reduced deformation & cleaner energy transfer.
• Power Groove – reinforced frame for linear power.
• Spin Blade Decal – enhanced spin control.
• High Memory EVA foam – maximum reactive output.

Performance Features

In defense, the racket requires precision: the high balance demands timely preparation, but the reactive foam compensates by helping the ball travel deep even with limited motion. In mid-court (vibora, bandeja), the Metalbone Hrd+ generates effortless acceleration: a compact swing still results in depth and pressure. In attack and overhead play, the racket shows its full potential: the extended grip increases leverage and the firm core produces clean, forceful smashes.

Player Profile

• Players seeking maximum power and aggressive aerial play.
• Level: advanced / professional.
• Ideal for backhand players who use leverage and like to finish points.
• For physically resilient players who can handle a noticeable difference in racket weight. More suitable for men.

Why Metalbone Hrd+ 2026 Stands Out

• Highest offensive capacity in the Metalbone line.
• Reactive ball output that boosts attack speed.
• Weight customisation for personalised performance.
• Firm materials create a crisp, decisive impact.
• Outstanding for smashes and overhead play.

Comparison of Metalbone 2026 Models

Model	Playing Feel	Why It Feels This Way
Metalbone HRD+ 2026	Most explosive and aggressive; best in smashes	Firm EVA foam, high balance, 15K carbon, long grip
Metalbone 3.3 2026	More forgiving, smoother output, well-rounded	Medium EVA foam, softer carbon, controlled rebound
Metalbone CTRL 2026	Highest control; precise placement	Round shape, medium balance, reduced inertia
Metalbone Team 2026	Comfortable, forgiving, easiest to handle	Softer foam, larger sweet spot, easier trajectory control

The Hrd+ 2026 is the most explosive of the four, while the 3.3 is more forgiving, the CTRL offers maximum control, and the Team 2026 provides the easiest handling.

Care & Recommendations

• Store in a protective bag.
• Use high-quality overgrips for stable control.
• Adjust the Weight & Balance System according to your play style.
• Avoid high temperatures to preserve carbon and EVA foam properties.
