2026 Adidas Arrow HIT Carbon CTRL

This is the Arrow HIT Carbon for players who win points by placement. The round head and even balance put the sweet spot in the centre of the face, so blocks, lobs and redirected volleys come off the same way time after time.

You still get a firm, reactive feel from the ASC carbon face, with the Soft Performance EVA core keeping it comfortable across a long match. What you give up is weight at the top: there is less free power on an overhead, so to finish a point from above your head you will need to put the pace there yourself.

Reinforcement round the rim and carbon tendons through the heart keep it stable on off-centre contact, the Spin Blade finish adds bite to slices and angled shots, and the longer grip gives you something to lean on. If you play further forward and want the racket to add the weight, the Arrow HIT Carbon is the diamond-shaped, head-heavy version.

• Muscle Power System — Carbon tendons run through the heart of the racket to increase its resistance to twisting.
• Structural Reinforcement — Reinforcement around the perimeter to withstand the high torsion the frame takes during play.
• Power Groove — A rail set into the frame profile that adds structural rigidity and power.
• Extra Power Grip — A longer handle that increases inertia, and with it the power in your shots.
• Spin Blade Decal — Raised relief on the face that adds precision and spin to sliced, lifted and angled shots.
• Soft Performance EVA — Low-density EVA core for lively ball exit and comfort, identified by the black cap.
• ASC Carbon Fibre face — Carbon hitting surface that gives firm, clearly defined feedback and control.
