The Adidas Metalbone Pro EDT 2026 is a limited edition professional offensive padel racket inspired by Ale Galán, one of the most dominant players in the history of the sport. It is engineered exclusively for advanced and elite players who attack with pace, power, and precision, players who want to end points decisively rather than build them patiently. Combining an aluminised Carbon 16K hitting surface, a diamond oversize frame shape, and a fully adjustable Weight and Balance System, this is the most technically aggressive racket in Adidas’s 2026 lineup.
Aluminised Carbon 16K face – a premium carbon construction that delivers a stiffer, more rigid frame than standard carbon materials. The result is a firm, authoritative feel at contact — explosive ball speed on smashes, decisive response on volleys, and powerful output on every offensive stroke without any unwanted flex or energy loss.
EVA Soft Performance rubber core – balances the stiffness of the carbon face with a comfortable, controlled feel at impact. Maintains high ball exit speed while giving the player enough tactile feedback to manage their game with confidence, even during extended, high-intensity matches.
Octagonal Structure – an eight-sided frame profile that increases structural rigidity and distributes impact forces more efficiently than a conventional round frame. This angular geometry contributes to a firmer, more powerful feel on every shot and improves the overall mechanical efficiency of the racket during fast, explosive exchanges.
Low Poly technology – optimises the frame geometry for aerodynamic efficiency, allowing the racket head to move through the air more quickly during the swing. Faster head acceleration means more pace and spin generated at contact without requiring any additional effort from the player.
Weight and Balance System – removable screws positioned in the bridge of the racket allow the player to adjust both the total weight and the balance point of the frame. This can shift the setup towards a lighter, more manoeuvrable feel or push the balance higher into the head for even greater inertia and power on overhead plays. This level of in-racket customisation is rare at the professional tier and allows the Metalbone Pro EDT to be fine-tuned to match the exact physical preferences and playing style of each individual player.
Power Extra Grip (12 cm) – a longer grip design that shifts the leverage point further towards the head of the racket, increasing rotational inertia and delivering additional power on smashes and viboras. Every overhead play feels more decisive and authoritative without requiring any change to swing mechanics.
Spin Blade Decal – a rough, textured surface relief applied across the hitting face that increases friction between the ball and the racket at the moment of contact. This allows players to load more aggressive and precise topspin or slice on lifted and cut shots, adding variety and unpredictability to their attacking game.
