2026 Adidas Metalbone Pro EDT

If your instinct is to hit through the ball rather than work the rally, this is built for that. It asks for a fast, committed swing: the pace comes from you, and the frame does not flex out of the way.

The unusual part is the Weight and Balance System. Six screws hold small weights inside the frame, so you can add or remove them before a match; loaded up it feels heavier and more punishing through the ball, stripped back it feels quicker in the hand for fast exchanges at the net.

The eight-sided frame construction keeps things steady when you swing hard, and the textured patch over the sweet spot bites enough to hit heavy slices and sharp angles. It is a lot of racket, and it repays players who already smash with intent.
