Adidas Metalbone CTRL 3.3 Padel Racket

The Adidas Metalbone CTRL 3.3 is one of the top control rackets in the Adidas 2024 collection. The racket is designed for the experienced defensive player who wants the necessary control to stand strong defensively, but at the same time also wants the necessary power to gain the initiative and win the rally.

The Metalbone CTRL 3.3 racket is molded in a round head shape with a neutral weight balance. It is produced with Adidas' latest technologies, where you can adjust the weight and balance of the racket to your preferences. In addition, Adidas has implemented their most densely woven type of carbon fiber in the surface of the racket, which gives you a solid contact with the ball. However, the foam in the core of the racket is the softest of Adidas' 3 types of foam, which is why the Metalbone CTRL 3.3 offers you a good level of comfort in the stroke. If you prefer a softer surface, you can look towards the Adidas Metalbone Carbon CTRL, which doesn't give you the same level of precision in the sweetspot.

Weight: 345-360 grams

All in all, with the Adidas Metalbone CTRL 3.3, the control player gets a racket in a crisp design with plenty of control and precision, especially in defensive shots.

Technologies Applied in Adidas Metalbone CTRL 3.3

EVA Soft Performance

The racket's core is made of low density EVA rubber to give you response and high comfort. This is the softest of the three types of foam that Adidas works with in their top rackets. Adidas' rackets produced with this type of rubber is marked with a black cap.

Carbon Aluminized 2 to 1

Adidas operates with 8 different types of fibers, each type having different properties that influence the power and control ratio of the racket. This racket is made with "Carbon Aluminized 2 to 1", which is Adidas' least flexible fiber. This provides the greatest transfer of energy in the stroke and therefore the highest level of power.

Octagonal Structure

The small carbon tubes in the racket are designed in an octagonal format, making the construction of the Metalbone series stiffer than other rackets. The aim is to reward the aggressive player who continuously hits the ball well.

Spin Blade Decal

In the Metalbone series, Adidas apply their Spin Blade Decal technology, which is an octagonal surface structure that enables you to add more spin to the ball.

Smart Holes Curve

A strategic placement of the racket's hole pattern that optimizes sweetspot and grip of the ball.

Structural Reinforcement

The entire racket head has been reinforced to make it even more durable and resistant to the stress and torsion that the material is exposed to.

Weight & Balance System

Adidas' innovative weight & balance system with 6 small screws weighing a total of 12 grams, which you can reposition (or remove) to adjust the balance of the rakcet to perfectly suit your preferences. When the screws are in, the racket's weight balance is medium to low, giving it more control. If you remove the screws, the racket becomes lighter and the balance moves up to 1.5 cm providing additional power.
