Adidas Adipower CTRL Team Padel Racket

Interesting padel racket for the control player who wants extra touch and response in his game.

The Adidas Adipower CTRL Team has a round head and a neutral balance. The surface is rough and is designed with Adidas' Spin Blade technology to give you extra touch and the ability to put more spin into the ball.

The core of the racket itself is relatively soft, just as the fibreglass surface also helps to make the Adipower CTRL Team tolerant of 'off centre hits' and reduces the strain for overuse injuries such as tennis elbow, which many padel players have become familiar with.

Compared to the Adipower W Team, the Adipower CTRL Team racket is approximately 15 grams heavier and therefore provides slightly more stability and pressure in the strokes than the more manoeuvrable Adipower W Team.

Weight: 360-375 grams

Technologies Applied in Adidas Adipower CTRL Team

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.

Fibre Glass

Adidas operates with 6 different types of fibres, each type having different properties that influence the power and control ratio of the racket. This racket is made with fiberglass in the surface, which is Adidas' most flexible fiber. This provides you with a forgiving and comfortable contact with the ball in your strokes. This is also the most gentle surface for those who struggle with elbow and shoulder strain injuries. 

Dual eXoskeleton

This technology characterises the Adipower series, where the heart of the racket is reinforced, so you get maximum transfer of energy in each shot. 

Power Embossed Ridge

The outside of the frame is reinforced with carbon nerves for greater stiffness. The aim is to give the aggressive player more power.

Spin Blade

In the Adipower series, Adidas uses their Spin Blade Mold technology, which is a surface structure that enables you to put more spin into 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.
