With the Adidas Arrow Hit 2026, Adidas introduces an entirely new racket series aimed at offensive players who want a power-focused racket with a direct and stable output. The new Intelligent Balance System (IBS) allows you to adjust the weight distribution along the sides of the frame, letting you fine-tune the racket’s balance and feel according to your playing style. Overall, you get a modern power racket that combines high stability, extra speed in your shots and a construction that can be customized to your preferences.

Racket Construction

The Arrow Hit 2026 is built in a diamond shape, weighs 360–375 grams and comes with a head-heavy balance. The sweetspot is positioned at the top of the racket, rewarding you especially in overheads when you strike the ball high on the face and hit through the ball in offensive situations. The Carbon Fiber frame and the 38 mm profile create a stable structure that helps keep the racket steady during high-intensity rallies.

The core is made with EVA Soft Performance, giving you a combination of comfort and explosive response when you increase the tempo. You get a softer feel than in the hardest power models, but still plenty of output to finish points offensively. The hitting surface is built with ASC, an advanced carbon structure with an integrated Adidas logo that increases stiffness in selected zones and provides a more direct, controlled impact feel. Spin Blade Decal on the surface adds friction against the ball, making it easier to apply spin in volleys, bandejas and viboras, while Smart Holes Curve supports the sweetspot and improves stability on impact. The extended Extra Power Grip adds more inertia to the swing and helps you generate additional speed on overhead shots.

Adidas Arrow Hit 2026 vs. Adidas Metalbone 2026

The Arrow Hit 2026 is a strong alternative to the Adidas Metalbone 2026 if you prefer more stability and a slightly heavier setup. While the Metalbone 2026 weighs around 345–360 grams, the Arrow Hit typically sits at 360–375 grams, resulting in a more stable feel at impact. Another key difference is the weight system. Whereas the Metalbone rackets use a Weight & Balance System with fixed screws in the head, the Arrow series introduces the new Intelligent Balance System, which allows you to add up to 9 grams of weight along rails on the frame. This gives you greater freedom to adjust the balance according to your playing preferences, whether you want a more head-heavy setup for extra power or a more neutral distribution.

Technologies in Adidas Arrow Hit 2026

Muscle Power System
A structural principle in the frame that reinforces key areas, allowing energy to transfer more efficiently into the ball. The result is a more powerful output when you hit through the stroke.

Extra Power Grip (EPG)
The extended handle increases inertia in the swing and helps you generate extra speed in overheads and offensive shots. It can also provide improved stability on two-handed backhands.

ASC
An advanced surface structure with an integrated Adidas logo that reinforces the hitting surface in selected zones. This provides a more direct ball contact and a controlled, stable response when you need both power and precision.

EVA Soft Performance
A soft EVA core that combines comfort with a responsive output. The core helps absorb vibrations and makes it easier to play at high tempo without losing feel.

Spin Blade Decal
A textured surface that increases friction against the ball’s felt, making it easier to generate spin and control the ball’s trajectory in technical shots.

Smart Holes Curve
Strategically placed holes that support the sweetspot and enhance ball grip. This contributes to a more stable hitting surface, especially when striking high on the racket face.

Intelligent Balance System (IBS)
An adjustable balance system with rails along the frame where up to 9 grams of weight can be positioned. You can shift the weight to make the racket more head-heavy or more evenly balanced depending on how you want it to respond.

Carbon Fiber Frame
A carbon fiber frame that increases stiffness, stability and durability. It provides a solid structural base that supports an aggressive, power-oriented style of play.
