With the Metalbone Carbon 2026, you get a power racket that combines the diamond shape from the top models with a softer and more forgiving playing feel. This racket is aimed at players at a good level who want plenty of speed in overheads but also value comfort that helps maintain a stable performance throughout the match. The high sweetspot, head-heavy balance and flexible carbon surface give you a racket where power and playability work hand in hand.

Racket Construction

The Metalbone Carbon 2026 is built with a diamond shape, weighs 360–375 grams and comes with a pronounced head-heavy balance. The sweetspot sits high in the racket, providing strong weight transfer when you strike the ball cleanly. The 38 mm construction and Carbon Fiber frame create a stable base that helps you stay in control during aggressive exchanges, while still keeping the racket easy to accelerate and maneuver into position for the next shot.

The core is made with EVA Soft Performance, which delivers a more elastic and comfortable impact feel than the stiffer Metalbone models. This makes the racket easier to play with, especially in pressured situations where you may not always hit the ball perfectly. The hitting surface is constructed from Carbon 6K, a flexible carbon weave that offers a balanced blend of power and comfort. With Spin Blade Decal, you get a textured surface that increases friction and makes it easy to add spin to volleys, bandejas and viboras. Smart Holes Curve supports ball grip and enhances control, while the extended Extra Power Grip increases power transfer throughout the swing.

Adidas Metalbone Carbon 2026 vs. Other Models in the Metalbone Series

The Metalbone Carbon 2026 positions itself as the most comfort-oriented diamond-shaped model in the series. Compared with the Metalbone 2026, you get a softer carbon surface and a more forgiving response without losing the ability to drive through the ball in offensive shots.

Compared with the Metalbone HRD+ 2026, this model is significantly easier to handle and far less stiff on impact. HRD+ targets the most experienced power players, while the Metalbone Carbon 2026 provides a more relaxed, elastic and user-friendly sensation.

Compared with the Metalbone CTRL 2026, the Carbon version is more power-oriented and has a higher sweetspot. The CTRL version is more control-focused, round in shape and designed for a completely different type of player.
