With the Adidas Metalbone HRD+ 2026, you get a racket designed for players at a high technical level who want a diamond-shaped power frame in the hardest and most explosive version Adidas produces. There is no focus on forgiveness here; this is a racket that rewards clean ball contact and delivers an ultra-direct impact feel. Because the sweetspot sits at the very top of the head, you get a crisp and aggressive output on all offensive shots. The HRD+ version is aimed at experienced players who want maximum stiffness, extreme power and who are not afraid of firm feedback on off-center hits.

Racket Construction

The Metalbone HRD+ 2026 is built in a diamond shape, weighs 345–360 grams and has a distinctly head-heavy balance. This combination creates a power foundation that makes the racket lethal in smashes, viboras and net winners. With the sweetspot positioned at the top and a 38 mm Carbon Fiber frame, you get the stiffness and stability required to take full advantage of the High Memory core. The racket is designed for fast offensive swings and demands precise technique to be used to its fullest.

The core consists of EVA High Memory, Adidas’ hardest foam type. This means the racket reacts extremely quickly as you accelerate and that you get maximum energy return in every shot. The stiff and explosive Carbon Aluminized 16K hitting surface adds additional power and a sharp, direct touch, making it easier to control the ball at high speed. The surface is equipped with Spin Blade Decal to increase friction and allow you to work aggressively with spin, while the Extra Power Grip ensures a longer handle that increases inertia in the swing. Smart Holes Curve optimizes the sweetspot in the upper part of the racket and provides a more efficient hitting zone when you increase speed on overheads.

Adidas Metalbone HRD+ 2026 vs. Other Models in the Metalbone Series

The Metalbone HRD+ 2026 is the stiffest and most power-focused model in the entire Metalbone lineup. Compared with the Metalbone 2026, you get a significantly harder core (EVA High Memory) and an even more direct, explosive response that rewards technically strong players who strike the ball cleanly and want maximum speed on finishing shots.

Compared with the Metalbone CTRL 2026, the HRD+ is far less forgiving and clearly more power-oriented. The CTRL model offers a round head shape, neutral balance and a softer core, while the HRD+ is designed for aggressive play with a top-placed sweetspot and professional-level stiffness.

Metalbone HRD+ is therefore the ideal choice for players who prioritize raw power, a firm output and an extremely stable frame over control and comfort.

Technologies in Adidas Metalbone HRD+ 2026

EVA High Memory
A high-density, hard core that stores and releases more energy with each stroke. This maximizes power in fast movements and suits players with a clean, aggressive technique.

Carbon Aluminized 16K
A stiff and responsive aluminized carbon surface that increases both power and durability. You get a firm output and a sharp touch that helps you control the ball at high speed.

Octagonal Structure
Internal carbon tubes in an octagonal design that further stiffen the racket. This creates a more solid construction and a more direct response that rewards precise ball contact.

Power Groove
A reinforcing groove integrated into the frame that increases structural stiffness. The result is more stability in the head and added power when you hit through the ball.

Extra Power Grip
An extended handle that shifts some of the mass farther from the hand. This increases swing inertia and helps you generate more speed in smashes and offensive shots.

Spin Blade Decal
A textured surface that increases friction with the ball. This makes it easier to generate spin and provides better control on slices, bandejas and viboras.

Smart Holes Curve
A strategically curved hole pattern that supports the sweetspot at the top of the racket. It offers a more efficient hitting area and improved ball grip when striking high on the face.

Weight & Balance System
An adjustable weight system with small screws that lets you fine-tune the racket’s weight and balance. You can choose a more controlled setup or a lighter feel with an even more head-heavy power profile.

Low Poly Design
A special polyhedral design of the frame and core that increases stiffness and reduces unwanted twisting. This improves energy transfer and delivers a more stable impact feel.

Carbon Fiber Frame
A carbon-constructed frame that enhances stability and durability and serves as a solid foundation for the rigid HRD structure.

Metalbone Protector Tape
An integrated frame protector that shields the racket head from impacts, scratches and wear, helping preserve performance over time.
