About the Adidas Adipower Carbon CTRL
The Adipower Carbon CTRL is Adidas' advanced-level control racket — built for experienced players who win through precision, placement, and consistency rather than raw power. Its round shape, centred sweet spot, and low balance provide exceptional maneuverability and reliable response in all court positions. The 3K carbon face delivers a firm, direct feel with good feedback on ball placement, while the Soft Performance EVA core provides comfort across long sessions. This is the racket for the player who controls every rally.
Designed for precision and advanced defensive play
The Adipower Carbon CTRL is built around control as a competitive weapon. Its round head centres the sweet spot for reliable contact whether you're at the net, in transition, or defending from the back. The low balance keeps the racket lively and easy to redirect — essential for fast volleys, sharp chiquitas, and reactive defensive blocks. The 3K carbon face is firm enough to generate directional precision without the stiffness of a full-power diamond racket. Advanced players who want to dictate rallies with placement and spin rather than pace will find this racket responds exactly to their intentions.
Adidas Adipower technologies & materials
- 3K Carbon face — a woven carbon fibre hitting surface that delivers a firm, precise, and direct response on every contact. Provides excellent control and shot placement accuracy, with more rigidity and feedback than a fibreglass face.
- Soft Performance EVA core — a low-density EVA foam that balances firmness and flexibility for comfortable, consistent ball output. Provides cushioning on impact while maintaining the responsiveness needed for controlled shot placement.
- Dual Exoskeleton — a double-layer reinforcement structure in the frame and core that increases torsional strength and rigidity, improving stability on off-centre contacts and delivering consistent performance under demanding play.
- Power Embossed Ridge — carbon ribs integrated into the frame structure that increase overall rigidity and power transfer, ensuring energy is efficiently delivered to the ball on attacking shots.
- Spin Blade Mold — a 3D embossed texture on the carbon face that increases ball friction, generating heavier spin on lobs, slice shots, volleys, and topspin drives.
- Smart Holes Curve — a non-linear, curved hole pattern that optimises maneuverability and enhances control, particularly on reactive net play and direction-changing shots.
- Carbon frame — full carbon fibre construction providing exceptional torsional rigidity, durability, and structural stability throughout the racket's lifespan.

Who is this racket for?
