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.

3 tips to extend the lifespan of your padel racket

1. Use a frame protector

Fit a frame protector to your racket to minimise damage from contact with the court glass or metal mesh. It is a simple addition that may not look like much, but it can help extend the life of your racket by protecting it from knocks and scratches.

2. Avoid extreme temperatures

Store your racket at a stable room temperature. Over time, both very high and very low temperatures can weaken the foam in the racket core and reduce performance. Avoid leaving your racket in places such as a cold car boot or close to a hot radiator.

3. Protect your racket during transport

Keep your racket in a bag or cover to protect it from scratches, dirt and knocks. This is especially important during transport or storage between matches, as proper storage helps reduce wear and tear.

3 tips to get the most out of your padel racket

1. Choose the right racket for your level and playing style

Choose a racket that matches your level and playing style. New players may benefit from a racket with a softer face and a large sweetspot, while more experienced players often prefer a stiffer construction with more emphasis on precision or power.

2. Replace your overgrip regularly

Replacing your overgrip regularly helps maintain a fresh grip and improves comfort and control. A worn grip can cause the racket to slip in your hand and put extra strain on your wrist and forearm during play.

3. Upgrade your racket when the time is right

Over time, the foam in the racket core loses its elasticity and performance. This means you will no longer get the same response from your shots. If you have been using the same racket for several seasons or notice a drop in its performance, it is a sign that it is time to invest in a new one.
