Diamond-shaped head, head-heavy balance and a hard core are the keywords for the Adidas Metalbone HRD+. This weapon in Adidas' Metalbone series for 2024 is aimed at experienced and offensive padel players.

The racket is the hardest racket in the Adidas range for 2024, meaning that both the surface and core are made from the hardest types (or highest level of density, if you will) of carbon fiber and EVA foam, respectively, that Adidas operates with. This places demands on technique and consistency in ball striking, but you're also rewarded with unrivaled bite and precision in your shots. If you are looking for a softer core, look towards Adidas Metalbone 3.3, which is produced with Soft Performance EVA foam.

Weight: 345-360 grams

For the technically sound and experienced player, the Adidas Metalbone HRD+ is a power racket that gives you a very crisp output and great precision. The racket was developed in collaboration with Spanish padel star Alé Galan and incorporates the latest technologies from Adidas.

Technologies Applied in Adidas Metalbone HRD+

EVA High Memory

The racket's core is made of high memory EVA rubber providing you with extra power due to its greater memory. This is the highest density of the three types of foam that Adidas works with in their top rackets. Adidas' rackets with this type of rubber is marked with a red 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 use their Spin Blade Decal technology, which is an octagonal surface structure that enables you to add more spin to the ball and provides you with a feeling of additional control.

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.
