Description

The Adidas Metalbone Reserve 3.5 2026 is a diamond-shaped power racket from the Adidas Metalbone family, built for advanced and competitive players. It pairs a Carbon Aluminised face with a low-density Soft Performance EVA core and Adidas' Weight & Balance System, giving a head-heavy, attack-oriented feel you can fine-tune for the smash and the volley.

The Metalbone Reserve 3.5 2026 makes no concessions on performance. Its oversized diamond shape positions the sweet spot high for maximum overhead leverage. The head-heavy balance generates explosive swing mass on smashes and viboras. The 16K aluminised carbon face delivers a crisp, direct, powerful response on every attacking contact. And the Weight & Balance system gives you full control over how the racket is configured, from maximum head-heavy power to a more neutral, maneuverable setup. What distinguishes the Reserve edition is not just what it does on court, it is what it means off it. This is the racket that connects Galán's game to the Reserve Cup universe: competitive excellence, premium aesthetic, and an exclusive release that makes ownership feel like belonging to something specific.

The Reserve Cup is not a conventional padel tournament. It is a format that brings padel to iconic cities across the United States as spectacle, elite players, exclusive venues, and an atmosphere that sits between sport and event. Ale Galán, as one of padel's defining figures, is central to what the Reserve Cup represents. The Metalbone Reserve 2026 was created specifically for this context: a racket that performs at the level the Reserve Cup demands, and carries the aesthetic identity of the event in its cream and red livery. The stylised "R" on the frame is not just a logo, it is a connection to one of the most prestigious formats in modern padel.

The Metalbone Reserve 3.5 2026 carries his signature, his aesthetic, and his approach to the game: read the point, build pressure, and finish decisively. Every Metalbone, from the 3.5 to the Reserve to the Pro EDT, is built around this philosophy.
