With the Adidas Arrow Hit Carbon CTRL 2026, Adidas expands the Arrow series with a round, control-oriented model for players who want full control without losing power in offensive play. You still get the new IBS technology, which allows you to adjust the weight distribution along the frame, but now in a construction focused on stability, control and broader playability. This racket is an ideal choice if you want a round head shape with a centered sweetspot and a more comfortable impact feel, combined with enough output to finish points when you speed up the rally.

Racket Construction

The Arrow Hit Carbon CTRL 2026 features a round head shape, weighs 360–375 grams and comes with a neutral balance. The centered sweetspot provides a stable foundation in defensive situations and ensures precise touch in technical shots close to the net. The Carbon Fiber frame with its 38 mm profile delivers a solid and stable structure that supports precision and control in all aspects of play.

The core is built with EVA Soft Performance, offering a soft and comfortable feel that helps you keep the ball in play with greater stability and confidence. The hitting surface is made from Carbon 3K, which provides a flexible and forgiving response without removing the power you need when accelerating through the stroke. The molded Spin Blade Mold texture adds extra friction, making it easier to work with spin and variation, while Smart Holes Curve supports the sweetspot and ensures a consistent response across the entire hitting surface. The extended Extra Power Grip increases swing inertia, helping you generate speed even in a control-focused setup.

Adidas Arrow Hit Carbon CTRL 2026 vs. Adidas Arrow Hit CTRL 2026

The Arrow Hit Carbon CTRL 2026 is the most comfort-oriented control model in the Arrow series. While the Arrow Hit CTRL 2026 uses the ASC surface with reinforced zones for a more direct and stiff response, the Carbon CTRL version delivers a softer and more forgiving impact feel through the Carbon 3K surface. This offers a slightly more flexible and controllable output, which is especially helpful in defensive play and in more technical situations. Both rackets share the same round shape, centered sweetspot and adjustable IBS balance system, but the Arrow Hit Carbon CTRL 2026 feels milder and more stable on impact, whereas the Arrow Hit CTRL 2026 reacts sharper and more directly.

Muscle Power System
Reinforces selected areas of the frame so energy from your swing transfers more efficiently into the ball. This results in a more powerful and stable output on all shots.

Extra Power Grip (EPG)
The extended handle increases swing inertia, helping you generate more speed in overheads and controlled offensive shots. It also provides a more stable feel for two-handed backhands.

Carbon 3K
A flexible and forgiving carbon structure that combines comfort with a responsive power output. Ideal for players who want a more pleasant impact feel without sacrificing hitting strength.

EVA Soft Performance

Spin Blade Mold
A molded, textured surface that increases friction against the ball’s felt, helping you apply spin and control ball trajectory more precisely.

Smart Holes Curve
An optimized hole pattern that supports the sweetspot and provides a more stable and consistent contact — especially on shots struck higher on the face.
