Who is the Metalbone Team Light 2026 for?
For players who want a manoeuvrable, comfortable racket that is easy to direct, whether an improving intermediate or an advanced player who relies on placement. The round shape and moderate weight help in defence and at the net. If you want to smash, the diamond Metalbone Team is more attacking; for carbon faces, look at the Metalbone Carbon Ctrl.
Strengths
- Light: 345–360 g that move easily.
- Comfort: a soft feel from fibreglass and EVA Soft Performance.
- Spin: rough Spin Blade Gritt surface with a matt finish.
Things to consider
- Its control focus means less smash power than a diamond racket.
- No adjustable weight system.
