2025 Adidas Metalbone HRD+ 3.4

This is the Metalbone for players who look to finish points rather than extend them. It asks for a full, committed swing, and if you give it one there is real mass behind the ball when you go up for a smash.

The response is firm and direct rather than cushioned, so you feel exactly what you did to the ball. The frame stays rigid when you catch a smash slightly off the middle, which stops aggressive hitting from drifting off target.

You also get the Weight and Balance System, so you can add or remove weight to make it feel more planted or quicker in the hand. It sits at the sharp end of the Metalbone family Ale Galan plays, and it suits players already hitting hard enough to need a racket that keeps up.
