2026 Adidas Metalbone Carbon CTRL

The 2026 Metalbone Carbon CTRL is for the player who controls the tempo of a match rather than trying to end every point. It rewards patience: deep, accurate defence first, then a chosen moment to step in.

It is quick and manoeuvrable, so you can deal with a heavy ball off the back glass and still get the racket around for the next one. The reinforced rail in the profile keeps the hit feeling solid, so measured shots do not come out soft.

The face texture lets you put shape on the ball, which is where much of the tactical work happens, whether you are cutting a bandeja away or dropping one short. If your game is built on placement and reading the point, this is the Metalbone that fits it.

• OCTAGONAL STRUCTURE — The carbon tubular structure, with a carefully designed octagonal section, reduces torsion for more precise shots.
• EXTRA POWER GRIP — The longer grip increases inertia and power in shots.
• LOW POLY — The polyhedral design of the frame and the core of the racquet provide greater stiffness and power.
• SPIN BLADE DECAL — This relief helps improve the sensation of control and increase the amount of spin we can impart to the ball.
• SOFT PERFORMANCE — Low-density EVA rubber that provides excellent ball output and comfort in the game. racquets with this type of rubber are identified by the black cap.
• CARBON 6K — A perfect combination of control and power, with great rigidity and durability.
