The Adidas Metalbone CTRL 2026 Padel Racket is a round padel racket weighing 345–360 g with a low balance, a 16K Carbon face and an EVA Soft Performance core. It suits advanced players with a patient game built on placement, lobs and consistency from the back.
Our ratings are a buying guide based on each racket's build and how it plays, not lab measurements.
Pick it if
- You build points from the back and value placement over pace
- You want a soft, arm-friendly feel on every contact
- You want quick hands at the net and an easy swing
Look elsewhere if
- You are new to padel. See rackets by level
- You want free power on overheads without a full swing
Description
The Metalbone CTRL 2026 is the control version of Ale Galán's Metalbone. It keeps the family's 16K carbon faces and octagonal frame, but moves to a round head and a low balance, so the sweet spot sits lower and wider and the racket feels quick in defence.
Six removable weights in the Weight & Balance system let you add up to 11.2 g and shift the balance toward the head when you want more pace. It suits advanced players who build points from the back and want precision first, with power available when they need it.
